Controversial rapper Azealia Banks has been dropped from a UK music
festival following her racist, rude, homophobic and xenophobic Twitter
rant against Zayn Malik.
The Festival took to its twitter page to announce that she had been
dropped due to her racist tweets.
She then criticised the festival, writing:
‘Which is why a U.S. rapper has been asked to headline ur grimey grime festival? Haha, enjoy the rain!’
Azealia had called the One Direction singer Zayn a ‘f**got’, ‘p*ki’,
‘refugee’ and ‘sand n**ger’ after accusing him of stealing ideas for his
new music video from her work.
After staying silent for hours following the abuse, Zayn finally took to Twitter late on Tuesday night and asked:
‘@AZEALIABANKS why you been saying nasty things about me? I wasn’t talking about you lol.’
His response didn’t go down well with the hip-hop star who posted numerous replies to his one direct tweet.
