  • Azealia Banks is an outspoken firebrand of a female who is not afraid to lay it all out there. Her opinions on white people, other rappers, witches, you name it — they’re all ammunition in her war on the rest of the world beneath her.

    Until, that is, Azealia Banks wakes up and realizes she has put her foot in it. Then she just negates is all by claiming “I was just kidding.”

    In a recent interview with Playboy, Azealia Banks inflamed many Americans when she said:

    “I hate everything about this country. Like, I hate fat white Americans. All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms. Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a racist grandma — that’s really America.”

    Needless to say, some people were a mite pissed. Some Fox News folks said she should be deported. She fired back, via Twitter.

    But when Billboard Magazine came calling and asked her about the “fat, white Americans” comment, she was ready to walk that one back a bit.

    “I was making a joke because American culture is very gluttonous. We’re very, like, Big Gulp. You want Cup O’ Noodles? Here’s 24 in a box. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that, but who cares? When you fail, you’ve got to fail fast.”

    But she then followed that comment with another.

    “Oh my god, I want to fuck the president… He’s so fine. Those big-ass white teeth and ears hanging off his head?”

    Would she stand by this comment?

    Apparently not.

    “Omg I was totally just joking and being silly in billboard about the prez,” Azealia B anks tweeted today. “I wasn’t actually being forreal.”

    Of course, there were plenty of other offensive comments between the Playboy and Billboard interviews. Sometimes Banks’mouth just runs away with her. Perhaps someone could advise her about the consequences of the things she says, if for no other reason than album sales.

    “I don’t turn to anyone for advice. I do what I want,” she explains about her approach to her online persona.

    Maybe a peek into her personal time might give a clue as to Azealia Banks’ brand of thinking.

    “I drink, I smoke weed, I don’t really bathe. I might go off and masturbate and talk to myself in the mirror for hours. It’s a sort of psychosis.”

    Well, at least she is level and consistent about one thing: Iggy Azalea.

    “She just sucks.”
