I honestly would be the last person to defend Azealia Banks who artistically died to me around 2014 and then several times again BUT

cancelling her or any artist last minute especially when she’s actually been pretty quiet lately makes them look more ignorant and messy than her. extremely unprofessional. maybe next time have some spine and principles BEFORE you book an artist?

First, she says she was never even aware she was booked. They didn’t even connect with her. I know that’s not convenient for this thread, but hey

She’s been tearing Jk Rowling apart these last few days as well. She’s complicated and she says a lot of insane and offensive stuff, but I don’t get how some of the things said about her online, and even in this thread are okay. Respond to insults with even nastier insults? Wishing her failure, and misery? Because of trollish tweets? Meanwhile Trisha Paytas, and HRH Beauty are uplifted and celebrated? It’s odd. Azealia is an ally regardless of what everyone says. She’s had problematic takes, but she’s still a huge supporter, and an icon. She’s given Disease more promo than interscope has.

Labelling everything as trollish tweets is not an honest argument imo. She has a long history of hateful tweets that won't be washed away just because she simps Gaga now or because she called out JK Rowling. 

Honestly, all I see is virtual signaling because her behavior is finally catching up to her, losing a festival spot is a prime example of that.

I don't subscribe to the belief that people can't change but she keeps having problematic behaviour:

This is very recent.

A truly horrible thing to say.

Even if she's trying to be edgy/funny, not everybody will take it like that
