Nicki Minaj's Loss is Azealia Banks' Gain


Harlem rapper Azealia Banks, last seen on Rhymes with Snitch arguing with T.I. over gender roles [click here if you missed that], just got a great big come up courtesy of Nicki Minaj...

From Page Six
Hot rapper Azealia Banks announced on Twitter that she’ll perform at the Costume Institute gala May 7, but she may not have been the first choice. Sources tell us Nicki Minaj had been invited to do the event, but she never signed a contract, leaving organizers Vogue and Prada hanging as late as last week.

Banks tweeted yesterday, “I’ve Been invited to Perform for PRADA next week in NYC! Gonna b so lush !! Let’s see what new songs I debut there! #metball2012.” She also tweeted she’s attending with Alexander Wang, who designed her outfit for her Met gig. Both tweets were removed from Banks’ feed by day’s end, perhaps to keep what was left of the surprise. A Vogue rep had no comment.

What's wrong with giving new artists some shine? Yall complain when she does posts on Beyonce and Rihanna everyday and now yall still complaining when she posts about somebody else. Damn!

Yay good for her!! She is definitely in with whitey - they put her on. Them hipster white boys love her skinny, dark behind. I was at a house party over the weekend and al the white guys there were talking about how hot they think she is. *shrug*

She will definitely get a lot of gigs this summer and I hear she will be on SNL next season too.

And y'all know that Jay sent Ty Ty to meet with her to try and manage her, right? He can see how successful she has been and wants a piece. Don't do it, girl!!

Wonder why Nicki left them hanging. Her head is huge now.

All of this hype before she's even released an album reminds me of how it was when Nicki was on the come-up a couple of years ago. To be fair, I haven't heard any of her music--and don't think I really want to, tbh--but I don't see her lasting longer than 2 years before getting shoved aside for the "next big thing".

Just out of nowhere snitch starts posting about this 'artist'. Definitely getting paid. As you can see, we still dont give a fuck, not going to buy her album, and if your deal with azealia to get paid was based on how much records she sells off these random posts snitch, you aint getting a shit.

They simply traded one clown for another. Where the real MCs at? (Oh it's not the 90s and Hip Hop is a half dead, used up whore? My Bad.)

Just like NB and Rita Ora. Trying to make her(Rita) into some kind of fashion icon/top-selling artist. If it was THAT easy to become a superstar, any-ol' body you posted about on your blog--grandmother, uncle, babysitter from back in the day, etc.--would be famous overnight.

That picture of Azealia Banks makes her look clownish.

*shakes head* I don't get the hype about AB. She kinda sounds like Nicki to me.

Anonymous said...

she is definitely NOT the cutest apple on the tree... but whateva works.......

I think AB should wear her own hair cuz those lace fronts are truly busted!

Anonymous said...

YES!

talented??? YES!
Ugly????? YES!
Tired ass fake hair???? YES!

Why can't you just accept the notion she is/HAS talented and appeal to certain people? Evidently, she is doing something right. (Invites, tours, magazine covers..etc) You don't have to respect her work, but give her credit for her passion.

Yes, I do like her music.
