Rapper Azealia Banks has gotten herself into a bit of trouble the last few days by saying some pretty offensive things on Twitter.

Banks got into a Twitter battle with Perez Hilton and said some pretty disgusting things. Earlier in the battle she called him “dickbreath” and told him to “gobble a dick“. Hilton said to her, “Some of your music is cute, but your attention-seeking ways are pathetic and hurtful. You drag while others choose to uplift!” Banks then responded: “Whatever bitch, you tried to sign me to ur little bum ass label in ’11 with them bullsshit ass artists…” She later added: “omg u should just kill yourself… Like for real… lol what a messy faggot you are.” WOW. What the hell was she thinking?

When people started responding badly to this, she then tried to backtrack by saying “A faggot is not a homosexual male. A faggot is any male who acts like a female. There’s a BIG difference.”

Banks later attempted to clarify and said, “When I said acts like I female I should’ve said acts like a c*nt.” She added: “If u listen to my music and are not offended by the word nigga… We’re not gonna go here with this faggot shitt… We’re just not. Lol.”

What do you think about all of this? Personally, I’ve never liked the word fag or faggot and never use the words myself. Having the following that she does now, she has a responsibility in what she says and aside from saying the word faggot, telling someone that they should kill themselves is never okay. That’s exactly what cyber bullies/trolls have been doing to their targets over the past several year and guess what… sometimes those people do kill themselves. She’s setting a very bad example.
