Azealia Banks supports Nicki Minaj in the situation with Kanye West.
Kanye West is currently promoting his upcoming new Ty Dolla Sign collab album Vultures, but the rapper failed to get clearance of his old Nicki Minaj collab New Body.
After the rapper made a request to the Queen of Barbz through a text, she declined on her IG live. “Hi it’s ye, May I Call you about clearing new body on the album,” wrote Ye in the text. “That train has left the station. No disrespect in any way. I just put out a new album, why would I put out a song that has been out for 3 years?” responded Minaj.
After the response from Nicki, Ye stated that he supported her career. “I made that girl rewrite her verse three times for ‘Monster.’ I supported her career. So I don’t know what it is,” he said during album listening event.

After the comments from Ye, Azealia Banks slams the rapper for trying to snatch the limelight of Nicki Minaj’s new album Pink Friday 2. “Okay. Now I’m really pissed the f–k off. Regardless of how I feel about PF2, did fat smelly loser Kanye west really just try step all over Nicki’s release? Did I hear correctly when he tried to take credit for supporting her career ?????”
“Did he forget that Lil wayne and young money supported her, believed in her and shared their money time and resources with her to launch a female rapper to international icon status? Has Kanye ever successfully launched any artist he hasn’t sabotaged out of jealousy?,” she added.
