She’s not wrong in saying what she says about the white cis gay community. She’s putting out great content, and I’m willing to accept what she has to offer to the queer community. Celebrities do a lot of problematic sh*t and we’re able to forgive them, then we should be able to work on that however we feel is appropriate. We refused to acknowledge her because she said things that hurt people’s feelings. It’s misogyny and combined racism for me.Īzealia Banks was always there. And I also think it’s very interesting that a lot of non-people of color within the queer community are so eager to cancel her but will also listen to Donda.
Anyone who has more money than us, celebrities, are not subtracted from the same sort of grace and compassion. I have a very strong opinion about Azealia Banks and it’s entirely positive and supportive, due to her mental health journey-that a lot of us are going through anyway. I don’t think there’s a comeback, because in my opinion she never left. With no major backlash to the news- Drag Race alum Jiggly Caliente was the only notable performer to drop out-I decided to find out what Bushwig attendees had to say about Banks and her comeback.Ĭan you explain the Azealia Banks comeback to me? Notably, Bushwig was founded and continues to be run by trans and Latinx performers. Then, last week, the organizers of Brooklyn’s Bushwig announced that Banks would be performing Saturday night for the influential drag festival’s 10th anniversary-the same week that she targeted Kim Petras with transphobic and fatphobic comments on Instagram. In June, just as Pride month was ending, she posted a video message on Instagram in which she tearfully thanked her LGBTQ fans for all the love and support they’ve shown her over the years, tacking on an “I’m sorry” at the end-though she didn’t specify what she was sorry for or why. And as recently as this February of this year, she compared gender confirmation surgery to castration in an Instagram comment. She’s also notorious for lobbing antigay slurs and transphobic rhetoric at people with whom she’s feuded. Banks identifies as bisexual and has aligned herself with the ballroom community. Which is odd given her complicated relationship to the LGBTQ+ community. The gays in particular seem to be living for Banks’ current moment. Or maybe it just feels like a comeback is necessary. But because it’s Azealia Banks-a performer known as much for her Twitter feuds, offensive comments, erratic behavior and mental health struggles as she is for her music-it feels like a comeback. Also, this year marks the 10th anniversary of her breakthrough single, “ 212,” so there’s that. Or, depending on who you ask, maybe she’s just doing what artists do: releasing new music, playing shows, doing some press. For I love these words, and it is a love that will never stop.Azealia Banks (Photo: Isaiah Trickey/FilmMagic)Īzealia Banks is attempting a comeback. My love for these words will transcend lifetimes, and will always extend past whatever limits have been set. You have your answer, The Literally Constable. I would love these lyrics as if they were my own, my adorations and admiration for such like that of a mother. I would impregnate them with an insatiable lust, fulfilling desires and dreams of millions of descendants of the Azealia Banks. I would join these lyrics in marital harmony, forever bound to them by a ring of diamond and gold. They make the sleeping awake and they make the dark light.Īzealia Banks is an illustrious woman, and will forever take her throne in the starstudded Hall of Fame as one of the number one icons of all time. These words of poetry make the dead rise.
I would die for these words, the words from the mind of the creative genius of the 21st century, defined by her individuality, talent, and musicality matching no other. The musical talents of Miss Azealia Banks reach through my soul and pull visions of beauty and creative inspiration through, shining a blissful light of euphoria on those who seek her music. Lemon & limes 7w Literally Constable I do.
