Azealia Banks has come to the defense of Nicki Minaj after veteran MC and former Everyday Struggle host Joe Budden and Charlamagne tha God called The Pinkprint rapper "trash."
âShe has exhibited a lot of trash this year and Iâm not talking about music,â Budden said of Minaj. Charlamagne then claimed Minaj had an unsuccessful musical year because her song âNo Fraudsâ failed to take off. "You cannot post your accolades on Instagram every day for the year," Budden added. "I'm gonna call you trash."
The comments lit a fire under Azealia Banks, who shared her thoughts on the criticism. âIt SERIOUSLY makes me sick to my stomach to see @cthagod and joe burden get pleasure from tearing this black woman down because they are LEGIT LYING TO THEMSELVES,â Banks wrote. âNot cardio nor remus are fucking with nicki on her day off.â
Banks is referring to Nickiâs beef with rapper Remy Ma that escalated at the top of 2017, and the claims that Cardi B is coming to take Minajâs place. Banks has previously called Cardi B a âpoor manâs versionâ of Nicki Minaj. She also came to Minajâs defense a couple months ago when Minaj took to Twitter to call out sexism in the industry.
A couple days ago, Banks announced on Instagram that she is planning to sue Wendy Williams in 2018. Earlier this month the rapper also threatened a lawsuit against Remy Ma. Sandwiched between the buzz of these two incidents, the âChi Chiâ rapper dropped a Christmas demo âIcy Colors Change,â promising a fully mastered version coming soon.Â
