    Have to say I'm surprised at this news. She's usually so nice.

    I know but there's teenage angst and then there's seething unhinged venom. She just seems like a total scumbag.

    She was like 21 for that song - I'd say she doesn't even understand half of what she's on about.

    In December 2014 she called for over $100 trillion to be paid to African Americans as financial reparations for the enslavement of their ancestors.

    Why is it when Azelia and Sinéad O'Connor make crazy statements it makes the headline news? Attention-seeking is all they're at.

    Marketing ! Azelia ok but she has never become a priest/nun/Muslim she needs to up here game

    I think what is really alarming is that in a country with such a proud musical tradition, that someone like this can actually sell out gigs. Musical tastes have really gone down the pan in this once great nation. That a vulgar American female "rapper" can call Irish women ugly and mock the famine, and young Irish wans will still go see her, says it all about our moral decline. If I had a daughter that liked this sort of stuff I'd know that I failed as a parent.

    Ah you wouldn't have failed as a parent. Can't stop kids from being into what the crowd are into, but I agree otherwise.

    The mixed messages are what get me - "don't allow yourself to be objectified" yet "be as overtly sexual as possible".

    she had a big hit 5 years ago and can barely sell out one of our smallest venues, I think we're doing ok!

    She's a mad woman for taking on Irish women.

    My wife would go through her for a shortcut "the fcking state of her" was one of the nicer things she said about her when she read the story yesterday.

    I'd love to see a standoff between Azealia and a howiya. The howiya would win hands down.

    Either not showing up or showing up and shouting her down since the tickets have been paid for, may as well get something out of it.

    I wouldn't say she's a racist per se, she's just a colossal dickhead that craves attention in any form.

    I strongly suspect a guerilla PR campaign to get publicity and she's got tons of it.

    With the bad girl image, all publicity is good publicity even if it's negative.

    Imagine any white singer/artist sending a tweet like that addressing Banks as a 'POMPOUS BLACK BITCH'. Their career would be over in a nanosecond.

    She has form for this type of thing:
    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/azealia-banks-clashes-with-flight-attendant


    She's also gone on radio to make up stories, attack others, then break down saying that she is being racially abused and it's not her fault.
    She's done the same on all social media platforms. Been released from record labels, quit the music industry a few times...it's an ongoing drama with her.

    Can I just reassure Irish women that they are not by and large ugly.

    That should buy me some brownie points around here.
