Rap-Up.com || Azealia Banks Makes a Splash at Summer Jam and Mermaid Ball

Azealia Banks pulled double duty on Sunday with two back-to-back performances. Earlier in the day, she hit the Festival Village stage at Hot 97 Summer Jam at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, dressed like a cowgirl with a bolero hat and boots.

Later in the evening, she was back on stage at her inaugural Mermaid Ball at Bowery Ballroom in New York. She rocked teal hair and bared her breasts in starfish pasties while performing to a sold-out crowd. She plans to bring the show to London next.

Check out Banks’ bold looks below.

Like Beyonce is influenced from Tina Turner, Rihanna is influenced by Beyonce, Lady Gaga is influenced by Madonna & Nicki Minaj is HEAVILY influenced by Lil Kim! The list goes on & on!

lmaooo Like who gives a shit who started what trend first? Its the way they rock it, and if you like it.. great! If you don’t carry on. I love Azealia Banks, Nicki Minaj, Foxy, Left eye, Kim, Iggy Azalea, Missy, Trina, Da Brat, Shawnna, Mc lyte, Salt N peppa etc. They’re all different and have a unique style stop trying to pin them against each other they’re all fucking awesome.
