Don't expect to see Azealia Banks wearing Dolce & Gabbana any time soon because she's officially boycotting the designing duo.

The colorful-haired rapper made the announcement on Twitter Sunday night after seeing pictures of Dolce & Gabbana's controversial S/S 2013 collection.

Azealia tweeted during her Kanye West-esque rant:

Definitely boycotting Dolce & Gabanna.

Whoever designed that racist ass Dolce and Gabanna collection needs a swift kick in the mouth and a big dick up the ass.

I really hate when people do corny, racist things then try to justify it as "art."

— AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) October 21, 2012

It's all just really unnecessary. the clothes in the collection were fine without all the "black mammie" imagery.

Guess she didn't read Dolce & Gabbana's explanation before tweeting her disgust.

Do U think that would have made a difference???

Dolce & Gabbana Found GUILTY Of Tax Evasion! Sentenced To 20 Months In Prison!

There's no escaping the long arm of the law!

Years of court battles have ultimately culminated in a guilty verdict for designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for tax evasion.

Judge Antonella Brambilla sentenced the designers to 20 months in prison (which is like a decade in fashion years!) following a three-hour jury meeting in a Milan court on Wednesday.

Of course, the designers and their legal team are expected to appeal since they've always maintained their innocence.

But even if they do end up getting thrown behind bars, will it really be so bad? Martha Stewart did her time and even got a very special poncho made for her by an inmate!

Maybe Domenico and Stefano will be allowed to take their sewing kits with them and make lace-trimmed shirts for their fellow inmates!

And who knows, they just might come out of the ordeal having experienced a thousand life-changing epiphanies and release a prison-inspired collection that will revolutionize the fashion industry!

Anything is possible!
