A Growing List: A Guide to Azealia Banks's Beefs

Another rampage yesterday added 3 more beefs to the list.

Dolce & Gabbana - While most of Azealia Banks's beefs seem pointless, this one we can get behind: The Harlem rapper lashed out at Italian designer Dolce & Gabbana for their Spring 2013 collection, which featured imagery of Black women that recalled old Jim Crow-era stereotypes. "Whoever designed that racist a** Dolce and Gabanna collection needs a swift kick in the mouth and a big d**k up the a**," Banks tweeted. "I really hate when people do corny, racist things then try to justify it as 'art.' It's all just really unnecessary. The clothes in the collection were fine without all the 'black mammie' imagery."  (Photo: Tullio M. Puglia/Getty Images)
Iggy Azalea - With their similar names, it seemed inevitable that these polar opposites would clash, and sure enough, in late 2011, a boastfulBanks fired shots at the Aussie MC via Twitter (where else?). The scrum went next level when Iggy won a coveted spot on XXL's Freshmen cover — the first female to do so –– prompting Banks to criticize the magazine and call out Iggy for calling herself a "runaway slave master" in a rhyme from her mixtapeIgnorant Art. Iggy apologized for the lyrics and still insists she doesn't have any problem with Banks.(Photo: F. Leon/PictureGroup)
T.I. - The war of the Azealias, Azaleas or however you spell it, eventually entangled T.I., who signed Iggy to his Grand Hustle imprint. When Tip defended his protégé in an interview, Banks shot back with dismissive tweets: "Come on T.I.... N****s is not scared of u and whatever s**t u got to say on some radio show... you corny for that one." T.I. later called Banks's behavior "b***h s**t," saying, "You don't even have any business addressin' me... Get your man to address me. If you've got a man, get him to address me and he and I can speak on it." (Photo: Leon/PictureGroup)
Kreayshawn - Kreayshawn and Azealia Banks got into it in 2012 when the former, in a seeming act of goodwill, retweeted a link to the latter's "212" video, which someone had posted on the adult site PornHub. Offended at the X-rated connection, Banks wrote back, "You think you're funny? You're a dumb b***h. And you can't rap...This is how b*****s wanna start the new year ? They want their mics ate this early?" Kreayshawn's response: "Come on you mad because I retweeted your link? Because I like your music? Pffff get outta here! Not a fan anymore." Banks later apologized to Kreay, explaining that she's "naturally rude."  (Photo: WENN.com)Lil Kim (@LilKim) - TWEET: "For those of u who have been brainwashed by the fraud ...Let's open our eyes now people ...the clone is not bringing ladies out for the luv."   Lil Kim tweets subliminally about Nicki Minaj ahead of the "Starships" singer's expected appearance at the Hot 97 Summer Jam 2012 concert.(Photo: D Dipasupil/FilmMagic)
