Rap-Up.com || Azealia Banks Performs ‘212’ at Karl Lagerfeld’s House [Video]

Azealia Banks provided the soundtrack at the launch party for Karl Lagerfeld’s new masstige line on Wednesday night (Jan. 25). The 20-year-old Harlem rapper was hand-picked by the fashion guru to perform at the opulent dinner held at his house during Paris Fashion Week.

“I’m here! Hi, Mr. Lagerfeld,” shouted Banks, who sported blue and green hair and a Lagerfeld-inspired outfit. She worked the stage with her expletive-laced single “212” and received a hug from the designer himself.

Not only did Banks score a custom jumper from Mr. Lagerfeld, she also went home with a personalized iPad. Très chic.

This is an odd, but nice combination. Azealia has innovate music. Karl has innovative design.

even though she dis nicki,and i usually go in on anyone who pulls that sh-t,but i must admit i like this song,but if she keeps that shading sh-t up for no reason,my feelings about her will change in a split second,on another note Az needs to fix them d-mn extension hairs.

@RDK, she didn’t diss Nicki. the other day she tweeted that she loves Nicki. she was just telling the truth about her.

@Chet, this is what was said
On Kraeyshawn:
“As much as Kreayshawn would love to be considered part of this ‘rap game,’ she’s not. I guess a part of me is kind of annoyed that those white girls are making these songs, and it’s like if these girls were black and making the same songs would you be that interested?”

On Minaj:
“The butt, the hair, the this, the that, all the other shit, like… As much respect that I have for her, we’ve seen you do this already, what else can you do?”

On Missy:
“I’m trying to be innovative, I want to be like Missy Elliott was, respected and accepted for doing her own thing.”
