She’s never been one to mince her words, but singer Azealia Banks has now risked the wrath of millions of Directioners around the world thanks to her latest comments directed at former band-member turned solo artist Zayn Malik.
The rapper has long been a fan of social media and, this time, chose to take to Instagram to direct her wrath at Malik, who has just released the video for his new single “Like I Would” — and she’s not particularly nice about it or him.
While most individuals might wish to discuss certain matters privately by methods such as a simple phone call, Banks posted a picture collage post which compared his looks to some of hers. This, itself, wasn’t a problem, but, when Malik took to Twitter to comment that he’d noticed, things took a drastic turn and, suddenly, her vile words took on a distinctly racist and homophobic tone in their content — strange considering Malik isn’t gay and is dating one of the hottest women in the world, Gigi Hadid.
You can check out just part the exchange below — being the mouthy one she is, Azealia’s went on for a bit!

Quite what led Banks to post her comments remains unclear, but, in the time that has passed since she posted them, she most certainly hasn’t backtracked on them, and many believe she is ever unlikely to. Plus, it would appear that she likes having more than one debate going at the same time, as she’s also currently involved in a feud with Disney star Skai Jackson.
