Azealia Banks: Vitriolic Twitter Feuds, Elon Musk and Grimes & Industry Double Standards

This week we look back upon the public feuds of the polarizing and controversial rapper, Azealia Banks. Hannah discusses the early spats with Nicki Minaj, homophobia against Zayn Malik (which got her banned from Twitter), Rihanna and that time she was left alone in Elon Musk and Grimes' mansion. Holly looks at what she's done since, including her petty fight with Lana Del Rey, Cardi B and Irish people and we discuss how her controversial tweets, gross comments and struggles with mental health have seen her dropped by the same industry that continues to support Kanye West through his own, arguably parellel, situations. Pop culture moments of the week include ragging on Justin Timberlake for his weak apology following the Framing Britney Spears documentary, Kim K's defensive response to disbelief over North West's oil painting and another Armie Hammer update.
