Azealia Banks Calls Out Lil Kim Via Twitter; Threatens Lawsuit

Damn. The shade has been really thick on Twitter this morning after newcomer Azealia Banks decided she wanted to blast rapper Lil Kim this morning. You may recall a few weeks ago when Banks tweeted that she had just had 'the best convo' with Lil Kim, however it appears that things have taken a turn for the worst.

Apparently Lil Kim was to be featured on new track from Azealia's debut album and got upset when Azealia wrote Kim's rap for her. Long story short, Azealia called out Kim for not ever writing her own lyrics and for the nasty email Kim's assistant sent her.

Azealia decided to blast Kim on Twitter after Kim's reps released the following press release:

Earlier today a press release went out making a claim that there was friction between Hip Hop Icon “Lil Kim” and aspiring hip artist azealia banks. The release comes as a surprise to our team,being that my client and azealia have NEVER spoke to one another or met AT ALL. Kim was actually very flattered azealia’s public admiration for her, which is why it’s so hard to understand how someone who claims to be a true Lil Kim fan could flip the script so easily on someone who was supposedly their idol. It is also VERY interesting that NO ONE from her team made any attempts to reach out to anyone from our team to voice any concerns or problems that they may have had. I have NEVER heard of anyone having a conflict with someone they have NEVER met with or personally spoke with. We have no idea what they are referencing and have no desire to discuss the matter any further as there is nothing to talk about. It honestly seems that someone from azealia’s team would rather have her fans buy into manufactured drama instead of buying music. Kim knows nothing of any beef, and furthermore has had nothing but nice things to say about her. We don’t know what this is and will not address this any further. It seems that this is another sad attempt by someone trying to use my client for publicity. We wish her nothing but the best.
