Over the years Azealia Banks has gone from promising artist to what many people consider a social media troll. While she doesn’t dispute that she does takes issue with being blamed for how people take what she tweets and run with it.
Today the controversial Harlem rapper made her Breakfast Club debut to chop it up with Charlamagne and DJ Envy and of course demonstrated that she has no hairs on her tongue.
From her reasoning of supporting presidential candidate Donald Trump to her disdain for the RZA, Banks has no quarrel with voicing her opinions.
Here are the 10 things we learned from Azealia Banks on The Breakfast Club.

1. Don’t Listen To Me
While she’s known for riling people up with her social media posts about other celebrities, Banks says that a lot of her opinions are “terrible” and people shouldn’t “subscribe” to what she says.

4. Donald Trump
When she was vocally supporting Donald Trump, AB says it was mostly based on “the tax break.” She felt that no matter who you voted for at the end of the day people were going to get “f*cked” so why not get a little extra money back on your taxes. But after he took office she realized that he’s “cheapened” the presidency.

5. Hillary Clinton
The reason she didn’t want to vote for Hillary Clinton was because she felt that “her movement was shrouded in so much white feminism,” and “her and her husband are the reason that so many Black families are divided now” thanks to the 1994 Crime Bill. It also didn’t help when Hillary pandered to the culture and said she carried around hot sauce in her purse. AB felt she was “ literally talking to us like we’re idiots” and prefers her “racists racist… I don’t like any of that covert sh*t.”

7. RZA
As for her relationship with RZA she feels that he was a “f*ckin’ idiot” for throwing the star of his film under the bus and that he “f*cked up” both of their reputations for something that Russell Crowe did (he allegedly choked her). Banks said she didn’t press charges against Russell Crowe because they bought the tapes and she didn’t have the money to take him to court. When asked if RZA ever reached out she responded “No, and he better not” as she feels that he “f*cked my moment up. That was my movie and you f*cked it up, RZA.”

8. RZA 2
She’s also mad that for a movie that featured herself, Jill Scott, and Common Sense, RZA couldn’t even put together a soundtrack for it. She says that whenever she showed up to the studio the Ruler Zig Zag Zig was allegedly “fuckin’ coked out.” She does admit that RZA was paying for her to go to a psychiatrist but took issue with him putting that info out there on Facebook.

10. Young & Wreckless
When she was 17-years-old she was dating her married middle aged manager (he was Coldplay’s manager as well) and needless to say she regrets knowing what his “old wrinkly neck” tasted like. She says things changed when she began blowing up and demanding more things.
