Azealia Banks is attacking her longtime rap enemy Iggy Azalea over the Eric Garner case.
According to Banks, the Australian rapper has been silent on these issues affecting the black community and hip hop.
In a rant on Twitter, Azealia Banks says Iggy just want to reap the reward of black culture but don’t want to share the burden of being apart of it.
“Its funny to see people Like Igloo Australia silent when these things happen… Black Culture is cool, but black issues sure aren’t huh?” she wrote on Twitter.

Iggy Azalea took the high road and avoid being race baited by Azealia Banks. She says her nemesis has been using the tragedy to reignite their rap feud.
“Theres more to sparking a change than trolling on social media. World issues shouldnt be used as a poor excuse to promote fan battles,” she wrote.

Make sure you do something to let YOUR government know how you feel when something is unjust., not JUST your followers on twitter…

Blah blah blah iggy this iggy that stop wasting your time and breath miss banks no one cares about iggy she will fade out soon enough
Bravo Miss Banks, bout time someone said it!!!!!!!!!
Ms.Banks is just jealous she didn’t came into the world a white woman. The pot calling the kettle white.
Oh really! You think white skin is more advantageous than Black skin, do ya?
I’m saying that Ms.Banks is the last person to be talking. She spends her time appropriating white American culture,not to mention dating white men. Those poor men. dwl She has made derogatory comments about white people and gays although she claims to be bisexual. But feels the need to call out someone who has made derogatory comments about blacks. TF!
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WHITE AMERICAN CULTURE. And even if there was. How can you appropriate something that is forced onto you? America alienates individuals who doesn’t fit the mold of the majority.
So let me get this straight “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WHITE AMERICAN CULTURE but THERE IS SUCH A THING AS BLACK AMERICAN CULTURE? So a white immigrant who is supposedly appropriating BLACK AMERICAN SOUTHERN CULTURE is indebted to black America and naturally owes them a response? Iggy is an immigrant the minute she chimes in they’ll always be a someone saying “you’re not American.” This woman is damned both ways. As a matter of fact, what if she said Mr. Garner with some 30 encounters with the cops was in fact resisting arrest?
Let me give you an example. A bunch of my friends have asked me what I think should be done about the child immigrants fleeing from Central America. They were all incensed that America would rather cater to people who they think are more likely to abuse the system than grant citizenship to people who hold degrees. This question was posed to me because they know I’m an immigrant. I responded by telling them their friends with their degrees are in a better position than the immigrants fleeing to America. They didn’t like the response given and used the “you’re not American” excuse.
