Azealia Banks The Interview: RZA, Russel Crowe, & HOT97

[@UdoADHD]

She is just so... interesting. But it is usually the ones with a tormented inside that are the most talented and create great art.

[@IphiaCarlene]

Sadly based on the revelations with the rampant sexual assaults in Hollywood and how woman who don't comply have been treated, I can understand where she is coming from. I do feel her pain.

[@MrLambo_44]

Them broads be just as drunk and sexually aggressive at them Hollywood parties!! You see how she said if it was Elon musk she would’ve been all right with it? She is FOS

[@AnnaleishaMae]

I respect her. I want her to win. The negativity that's been hurled at her will return to it's source. She's a good lyricist.

[@fastfast-nb4ej]

I'm lowkey always on azealia's side??? even when she's twitter beefing I'll make some excuse, but on this Russel crowe shit I never doubted her!!! luv you girl

[@OAlexable]

I believe she's telling the truth

[@moonyeah4560]

It’s heartbreaking people should leave her alone and stop using social media to insult her with racial stuff because she has something to say it’s disgusting

[@moses9512]

She was raised well by her mother .. she is an example for the you to movement.. she refused to comply with rza and Russell Crowe. So they blacklisted her

[@xalonzo22]

THE ELON MUSK IRONY OMG. That’s such a crazy coincidence that she had an incident with him like a year after she said this

[@crazydancingchick95]

“I came for RZA. I came to L.A. for RZA” :(

[@preyeyinkore7238]

You might be controversial but you most definitely are a great artist.

[@Oskar-nm7pg]

She's an icon

[@Oskar-nm7pg]

Thors Domenech exactly!

[@mikevic9366]

Icon ? Lmao.

An icon of ratchetness lol

[@eurasian55]

3 years later .. She's Trash and lies.

[@emanbarakat9672]

she literally mentioned elon in this video and almost a year later she was trapped in his house ? wtf

[@jvncomeaux]

Why aren’t people posting the full video, this cheapens the importance and validity of this interview. Cut the BS.

[@abbyg3243]

“Brought me to L.A to like ***k Elon Musk. That just shows how out of touch RZA is.”

[@Jayelala]

Where's the responsibility for yourself?! She starts the story at the time when she's being reacted to. What prompted that response to her is the question. It is inhumane to spit on someone. However, if you act erratically without provocation you get an equality trifling response. Idk what happened, but I believe Azealia is embellishing to some degree. She did in this very interview. She said RZA said Crowe spat on her. RZA never said that in the interview. He said, "He spat at her, but it never hit her." To her defense, that's not better, but this proves the point that she reinterprets to fit her narrative rather than just straight facts. She also said RZA said she deserved it, which he didn't. He expressed she was acting aggressively without provocation and he couldn't understand why. She also said he put her business out that he gave her money to see a psychiatrist. That's also not true. He said he gave her a few dollars, period. He didn't mention what for. She just told us. As well as the fact that she claimed to have a record deal with him, when she clearly didn't, but only here admits that because he ran her under the bus about it. RZA doesn't get a pass either. She was his guest and therefore in his charge. He should have moved with her as a unit. The minute she starts acting up, he should have exited the situation and or deescalated, especially given his close relationship and supposed understanding of her. He more than anyone would know how to bring her back to being what he thought her to be, a good person in spite of. Still, Azealia needs real help. We aught not laugh at her misfortune, but we aught not coddle or enable her bad behavior and thereafter excuse it as the byproduct of mental illness. She can be helped, I just wish she had someone who loves her and wants to fight for and with her to overcome. I pray peace be with her.

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

I think she's hyper-sensitive to rejection and abuse and anything that she feels may lead to it. I do get the impression that sometimes she escalates situations prematurely and creates problems where there were none, but I think she does it thinking she is defending herself and the people around her would do well to respond the way Nick Canon did which is say "I'm sorry you are hurting, your hurt is not my responsibility, but I am still sorry you are hurting". Instead people meet her at her level, which doesn't help her idea that she is being victimized.

[@MrLambo_44]

You must didn’t hear her say if it was Elon musk she would’ve fucked him..

[@5822huron]

Accountability!What a Black woman?

[@moses9512]

She needs a good publicist like charlotte parker

[@angelblue52]

@@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend damn. totally agree. this makes a lot of sense. I think she might have a bit of emotional dysregulation cause of the environment of her child, which is a very normal response to that circumstance

[@badgurl5758]

Lord please guide her to mental healing!. Prayers Up for her 🙏🏻

[@moses9512]

She can still make .she is super talented. She needs a,good publicist like charlotte parker .. do an interview with Angela yee and Angie Martinez.. azelia banks your beautiful and talented .you can make it

[@3593997]

Hopefully she will get through this....this is all part of her journey but she needs to realise what she did for Rza to have to damage control her actions... everyone needs to remember she is still very young and in time she will grow and hopefully flip this whole situation and bounce back , I hope so , love or hate her, no one can deny how immensely talented Azelia is

[@karmabeatONs]

If she did a go find me for her album, I would support it. She is amazing! Brave Beautiful and Smart Strong. I think she would find the support she needed in real people who love her art. Taking advantage of someone vulnerability is scummy. And it's on them.

[@candymeltproductions5392]

MY WEAVE

[@draztikbcf1823]

She said Rza took her to a party knowing theres was alcohol and she had a mental problem but at the end of the day you are responsible for what you put in your body and your actions. Dont just put the blame on The Abbot!!! At the end of the day Azealia you need to be held accountable for your actions.

[@crazydancingchick95]

1:35 that eye roll tho

[@crazydancingchick95]

RZA ain’t sheeeit :/

[@s.j6276]

Practicing witchcraft and sacrificing will depress you.duhhhhhhh

[@bg6358]

It's so funny watching people cry after they realise their actions have consequences

[@africanTHEfire]

Oh no 😯

[@crazydancingchick95]

Imagine being Wu-Tang (thee Del facto leader at that!) and doin’ some coward shit like that 🤡

[@s.j6276]

I do agree russell should get beat down for spitting,but if your music sucks why would rza help.

[@russellallen9926]

What the fuck is she talking about, sorry to say but sounds like she got ideas above her station and was treated accordingly, needless to say don’t think we’ll be seeing her appear in any Russell crowe any time soon lol🤣🤣

[@nategoodeye4163]

Why cause your supposed to be responsible person and you said you wanted rza to help you get straight well make your move get on that body lol

[@candymeltproductions5392]

I thought rza and her were eventually going to end up dating

[@keithjacksonjr.3711]

SLAY Z lol ain’t he married?

[@candymeltproductions5392]

Kjr 2010 oh i had no idea my bad lol

[@WorldWideLoveNow]

God is in control of anger mgt

[@dylansparrow6169]

Back in the day, this would jus be solved with a rap battle. In this case, the rap battle would end in Banks being obliterated by a fucking genius.

[@5822huron]

She just needs help..

[@MrCbwTV]

“Rza was like my rap friend”. Lol She probably has trouble making friends.

[@moses9512]

She was real young at the time

[@moses9512]

She saw really as a mentor

C Jo when ? Her opinions on your favorite artist isn’t crying wolf

[@orthodoxazealian7566]

This narrative is tired.

[@chocobabes]

Roshun Shah narrative?

[@whydontyouhateme]

And yet here you are, listening to what she has to say

[@orthodoxazealian7566]

Yes this narrative has been repeated ad nauseum and does not invalidate Azealia's thoughts, opinions, or artistry. If you don't like her, fine. Just come up with something that has not been repeated a thousand times before. Also, Azealia is not homophobic. Fristly, I need you mindless drones to stop erasing her bisexuality. SHE LIKES WOMEN AND MEN. Secondly, Azealia has always been down with ethnic gays, if you go to her shows you will see that maybe 75% of the audience is gay (mostly ethnic). Her problem has always been with white gay men which ,as an ethnic gay man, I understand completely. White gay men will really do the most without anyone having the balls to call them out. And honestly: if straight men don't listen to her that's totally fine by me. The ethnic gays will glady keep Azealia to ourselves. Also, you are mad whack for laughing at what you consider a "mental case". She has issues and she's open about them. It takes a whole lot more courage to be open about your mental health issues than it does to be some asshole on youtube exacerbating long simmering mental health stigmas. Again, you hate her and yet, here you are commenting on her interview the day after it came out. You're a fan in denial and I see right though your bullshit.

[@digrom3279]

Acting is so depressing some times

[@Oskar-nm7pg]

Don Bro she's fucking true to herself
