Rap-Up.com || Azealia Banks Beefs with Rita Ora

Another friend has turned foe for Azealia Banks. The feisty femcee has ignited a new beef with Rita Ora.

The rapper and singer have been playing the Future Music Festival throughout Australia. While they seemed to be getting along, their friendship quickly turned sour after Azealia suspected that the “R.I.P.” singer was trying to intimidate her.

“Ever since I arrived on this tour Rita’s been going out of her way to try and intimidate me,” tweeted Banks, who just released her new single “Yung Rapunxel.” “Taking all these candids of me when I wasn’t looking, then posting and deleting them like a weak bitch.”

Banks called Rita “thirsty” and accused her of climbing over the wall of her dancers’ dressing room to photograph her. Rita responded in a text message, which Azealia posted on Instagram.

“At the end of the day I don’t know who the fuk u think you are secondly u dont know me I’ve done nothin but try b nice to u 3rd ur dancers were talkn to me further more ill see ur ass at the motherfuckin concert,” wrote Rita.

Banks shot back with her own stinging remarks: “She’s been TRYING IT on this tour man…..She’s mad she’s Rihanna’s understudy..”

Azealia is no stranger to beef. She has faced off with numerous artists in the past including Iggy Azalea, Kreayshawn, Angel Haze, T.I., Lil’ Kim, and “Harlem Shake” hitmaker Baauer.

Seems like Rita was bullying and Azealia called her out.

Rita is a Rihanna reject and she’s mad about it…

@Joseph Vryheid, rap up has it wrong. Azealia started this beef earlier when Rita posted a pic of her wearing jelly sandals and then said she’s bringing them back. Azealia said that she already did the jellies last year and then told Rita to try again. Check her page it’s still there. Then she went into a rant about Rita being thirsty. Then claimed that Rita has been trying to intimidate her. This girl is a messsss!

She calls Rita a weak bitch for deleting pictures, yet she deletes her tweets all the time?

I want her to focus more on her music than beefing with everyone. So far the songs she has released from her debut album are so so. I do not like the direction she is taking the album in so far as I hear a lot of recycled flows and overproduction. But, hey, maybe the songs will sound better when I listen to the entire album.

I remember her saying she doesnt want to stay in the rap game for long because rap is “unladylike”

Well so is being a loudmouth and starting beefs for no reason… But she does that pretty well.

Stupid or what

I like some of Azealia’s stuff….Lyrically, she’s got a creative way with words, but it’s obvious to me that she uses these “beefs” sort of as a promotional tool. Whenever she gets ready to release some material, some “new” beef pops up so people can be curious and wanna know “Whats goin on with Azealia.” I won’t DOUBT that there’s tension between the 2, but this new single just gave her a reason to let it be known. With that said, let’s switch over to Ms. Ora. You can tell a lot about a person from the way they text, and her text just screams out “I USE RUN-ON SENTENCES AND I HAVE THE VERNACULAR OF A 7TH GRADER.”

And at the end of the day, Azelia’s music STILL doesn’t deliver. The “beefs” are quite interesting. But to say the least her music lacks while she sets the flame to burn down every bridge she ever built. I’m not a big Rita fan but I’m definitely over A. Banks!!!

I think Azealia’s music is crazy and I am really enjoying her bud into a rap superstar but what is it with all this beefin’ with her? She needs to calm down, focus on her music and stop trying to make all these enemies. It’s not cute.

See I like Azelia, but she can’t be giving that Ny attitude all the time for every little thing. When she wants to start working with big name artist, or if she get that chance they not gonna want to because of the way she acts. Especially being a female rapper, they have suck a bad rep towards them. You gonna look like the bully no matter what , because Rita has a lil bit Notoriety than she do. Lol but it was funny when she said Rihanna understudy

What for? That’s all I care to know. What is Azealia doing this for? Lashing out at people over very minor things when you have so much to lose… It’s annoying, it’s not necessary. I feel like Azealia holds people up to ridiculous standards when it comes to approaching her, and if they don’t do it in the exact manner that she would like, she’s going to call them out and then brush it off as her ‘New York realness’. She’s not in New York. The world is not going to bend over backwards for her, because she can’t control her attitude. Women like her, who are overly confrontational make me want to pull my hair out. Who do you think you are? Not everyone has to answer to you.

It seems Azealia is the one thats THIRSTY..She called Rita Ora a rihanna understudy, but at least rita ora got some relevance and is quite successful, esp. in the UK. Azealia will never get her career off the ground because she too busy in childish beefs with other artists, instead of worrying about her career.smh!I don’t see her making it far.if she keeps this up.
