Azealia Banks says she ‘wants to pepper spray a gay man in the face’ in disturbing rant

Azealia Banks has gone on yet another homophobic rant – claiming she wants to “spray a gay man in the face with pepper spray”.

The 212 rapper, who has repeatedly dismissed claims she is anti-gay in the past, was caught on camera branding a flight attendant a “f**king faggot” during an on-flight meltdown.

Amid the controversy, the rapper has not sought to smooth over relations with her gay fanbase, going on a bizarre and vile rant on Instagram.

Responding to a self-pitying post from the star reacting to the coverage, a fan wrote: “Imagine the pain young gay fans feel when they hear the vile things you say @azealiabanks.”

However, Banks hit back: “oh well imagine how I wanna spray a gay man in the face with pepper spray everytime he calls me a bitch a slut or a hoe. Kiss my ass. Goodnight.””

When the fan challenged her ‘evil’ comment, she added: “Keep f**king with me if you f**king want to. One day your hemmroids [sic] are going to burst and you’ll bleed to death bitch.'”

In a since-deleted post, she continued: “Yea keep trolling for d**k on grindr. You’ll be murdered and stuffed under a truck somewhere soon.”


The rapper has used gay slurs on a number of occasions, regularly branding gay men “faggots” on social media.

Just wanted to post the latest hijinks of Miss Banks since she was such a focal point on this forum several months ago (just search for the past topics about her on DU). She also went on a racist rant against another fan too:

I feel like I'm giving her extra attention by posting all of this mess, but when someone in the public eye says something as gross as what she says, damn well better bet he/she gets called out on it.

As if she was some kind of visionary for advocating mass violence against people because of what their ancestors did.

Wonder where those defenders are now. Turns out hate breeds hate.

Turns out she's bipolar. True to form, a faction of DU supported her nonsensical ranting over any appeal to reason in the social media inquisition against Iggy Azalea.

is on a forced vacation. But there are others still here that are avoiding this thread. And this one:http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141219160


I wonder if they think people don't notice.

Some only care about their own agenda, even if it means slighting others.

Shoot, a few even disregard major past offensive attacks on their own community in order to stick it to imaginary internet fiends.

Don't get me started on the Farrakhan apologists.

But I have friends who turn me on to some music, including a few people like Ke$ha and
Lindsey Stirling, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, inna, and right now Lisa Miskovsky is on my number one hot list with "Still Alive"... but I looked though my list and don't see anything by her. Right now I am totally into Trance, dubsteb and Rave music. There is some awesome stuff out there that I am just discovering.. I am not that much into Rap, but... some of it is okay, I guess. I will avoid her, however... I don't even want to hear her stuff.

I've gotten back into metal for the first time in years (usually a goth/industrial gal with forays into classical, dubstep, and random oddness like dubchestral, futurepop, etc.), and I'm particularly taken by several all-female Japanese metal and hard rock acts: Mary' Blood, Destrose, Aldous, Band-Maid, Cyntia, and especially DOLL$BOXX.

Small world, innit?

I remember one of her earlier homophobic rants being vociferously defended by a lot of the people now over at the site which shall not be named. Surprise, surprise, surprise!
