Azealia Banks' Problematic Twitter Behavior Has Officially Gotten Out Of Hand
MTV

Azealia Banks is an American Rapper most notably for her 2012 hit song "212." The song had a nice beat and a catchy tagline, which gained the attention of artists such as Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and even Lady Gaga.

Banks is known for having "beefs" with many artists. Most of the times, these fights are for no particular reason. Just a few celebrities, namely: Iggy Azalea, T.I., Angel Haze, Diplo, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell. Her most recent Twitter rant was directed at ex-One Direction member Zayn Malik. What caused this? Well, Zayn recently released his video for "Like I Would." It was a trippy, futuristic type of video. Twitter went wild when the video came out, with lots of reaction. Banks put her two cents in by posting a picture of the comparison between the "Like I Would" video and her own "Chasing Time" video. The collage picture also showed outfits that Banks has worn in the past. She tweeted " Damn Zayn mood boarding the f**k outta me." Zayn shadily responded "No lies I see you reaching but I don't care" followed by " My @'s too good for you." Thinking that the tweets were directed to her, Banks went into a slew of racist and homophobic comments directed at Malik. Calling Zayn a "curry scented b*tch" and saying she was going to call him a "punjab". These comments disgusted many people, and they came quickly to the defense of Malik (#dontmesswithzquad).


This caused Banks to lose a chance to perform at the Born and Bred festival in the UK. Born and Bred tweeted "We have decide to cancel Azealia Banks headline appearance at Rinse Born and Bred." They continued, "Rinse Born and Bred is a celebration of rave culture and has been created for everyone. We celebrate inclusivity and equality."

Supporters initially thought that Azealia still had some potential to have a promising career, but that all ended when 14-year-old Skai Jackson snatched any last bit of credibility she had left.

You guys may know Ms. Skai Jackson as the actress who played Zuri on the hit Disney show "Jessie." After seeing the Twitter drama between Malik and Banks. Jackson took to Twitter and tweeted "Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little." In Azealia Banks fashion, Banks had hit back at Skai, making mean comments about Skai's mom "pimping her out on Disney", calling Skai a "little black b*tch," and to top it all off suggesting Jackson needs to "grow some hips." Real mature, Banks. Attacking, bullying, and sexualizing a little girl who is so mature to call you out on your problematic behavior.

Skai's clapback was not only "classy," but it was wig-snatching gold. Calling Azealia "Azealia Stanks," and Tweeting, "I had a career before Disney and I'm sure I will after!" followed up by "And I know I won't turn out like you bitter and miserable! Fix ur life... and I'm sure my mom did a wayyy better job than yours did! You give black women a bad name. I'll be praying for you." (#youbettaslayskai)

Honestly, Azealia Banks needs to take Skai's advice and take "several seats." She needs to stop getting into petty fights other with artists in an attempt to stay relevant. Banks needs to take a break, re-evaluate her life decisions, try to get back into the booth, and reboot this music career. Since she has been now been suspended by Twitter, she is going to have a lot of time on her hands to do so.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
