Azealia Banks is at it again.
On Thursday, the rapper stopped by Hot 97 to rant discuss her issues with Iggy Azalea, who she often refers to as the offensive “Igloo Australia”.

In the interview, Banks expresses her unfounded belief that the Black Window singer is popular because she’s caucasian, not because she’s talented.
Obviously, the relationship between race and music is a MAJOR point of contention for the 23-year-old and at one point during the discussion she breaks down in tears.
The explosive rapper ranted:
“I feel like in this country, whenever it comes to our things, like black issues or black politics or black music or whatever, there’s always this undercurrent of kinda like a ‘f*ck you.’ There’s always a “f*ck y’all niggas. Y’all don’t really own sh*t. Y’all don’t have sh*t. That Macklemore album wasn’t better than the Drake record. That Iggy Azalea sh*t isn’t better than any f*cking black girl that’s rapping today…the Grammys are supposed to be accolades of artistic excellence. Iggy Azalea is not excellent.”
Hmm, we have a feeling Azalea’s millions of fans would disagree!!
The 212 singer added:
“When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is: oh yeah you’re great, you’re amazing, you can do whatever you put your mind to. And it says to black kids: you don’t have sh*t. You don’t own sh*t, not even the sh*t you created for yourself, and it makes me upset.”
Well, that’s an uhm, interesting theory…
Considering the volatile nature of the interview, Iggy took to Twitter to defend herself, saying:
Special msg for banks: There are many black artists succeeding in all genres. The reason you haven’t is because of your piss poor attitude.

We think Iggy definitely has a point!
The singer continued:
you created your own unfortunate situation by being a bigot and don’t have the mental capacity to realize yet. Probably never will.
