Many of us are saying who? Where is she from? And that may be the point. Azealia Banks is not known to well in the United States and it looks like there will be no need to know of her in the immediate future. What should you know about her? She's offensive enough to be kicked off Twitter. So in one of the biggest "Bye Felicia" moves this year. There'll be no more little offensive messages being twatted sent out from Banks.
It's about time!
Following rapper Azealia Banks' horrific slew of xenophobic, racist and homophobic tweets lobbed at ex-One Direction singer Zayn Malik earlier this week, Twitter has suspended her account.
The 140-character platform suspends users’ accounts, either temporarily or permanently, if they engage in “abusive tweets or behavior.”
The hot-tempered rapper’s missives certainly fit that bill, as her insults at Malik — who is of English-Pakistani descent — included “the token sand n—a from 1D,” “f—-t” and an offensive slur for Pakistani people.
A Twitter rep on Thursday declined to elaborate on the situation.
“We do not comment on individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons,” the rep told the Daily News.
The site apparently sided with Banks last month after she called for “the biggest burliest blackest” men to “run a train” on former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, telling one user who complained that it had “reviewed the content and determined that it was not in violation of the Twitter Rules,” per a report from Breitbart.
This time, though, the Donald Trump-endorser’s big mouth earned her not only an account suspension but a swift ousting from her headlining gig at London-based Rinse FM’s Born & Bred Festival.
“Rinse | Born & Bred Festival is a celebration of rave culture and has been created for EVERYONE,” read a statement from festival organizers Wednesday. “We celebrate inclusivity and equality.” – nydailynews.com
Because of her 140 character vulgar messages, Banks has lost one of her outlets and now a job, too. Maybe we should change the phrase "Bye Felicia" to "Bye Azealia."

I spent the evening with Zayn
I spent the evening with Zayn at his Beverly Hills home and he could not stop crying. I made dinner for both of us but he couldn't eat. All he wanted to do was lay in bed and be held.
So she can be a bigot towards
So she can be a bigot towards white people and go on countless homophobic tirades… and it's ok? Yet, she says sand nigga and they remove her? This is like how Trump can be a sexist and homophobe without repercussions, but he calls illegal immigrants rapists and everyone loses their shit. So much for equality.
