Azealia Banks Flips Out on T.I.: “Shut the F*ck Up”
Posted by Mikey Fresh under beef , interview[48] Comments
Our favorite firecracker from Harlem let out a vicious Twitter diss earlier this afternoon. Azealia Banks, aka my-rap-crush-of-the-moment, didn’t hold anything back when she responded to T.I.’s recent interview with the Riot squad radio show. Tip basically said Azealia had no business addressing him and that she should keep his name out of her mouth. The Uptown girl didn’t take this too kindly. She responded on Twitter by saying:
“@AzealiaBanks: T.i …. Please shut the fuck up about this. Like seriously quit it,” she wrote. “Funny how you have plenty of time to address me but have nothing to say to the dudes who been calling u at as a snitch forever. It’s dead… The streets already know what kind of dude you are. Stop making yourself look softer by dragging this out. Ain’t you the same dude that got photographed butt naked n a pair of sneakers and a beanie???!?! What a fucking clown.”
Listen to exactly what T.I. said after the jump… did she over react?
“The thing is about that, I didn’t even know nothin’ about that. I didn’t even see it,” he started. “I know they’re going through their thing but the fact that she’s speaking upon me and mine–That is what I consider (and excuse my language) that’s b*tch sh*t.”
“I’m a man and not even just that, you ain’t got no business addressing me. Get your man to address me. Get him to address me and he and I can speak on it. But you and me, nah. Keep dealing with that woman. Y’all handle that. Me and you, we ain’t got nowhere to go with that. I do what men do.”

I think she over-reacted a little but then again, does “over-reacting” on Twitter really exist? :/ All he did was answer a question that he was asked but I’m sure the “hip-hop blogs” will be eating this whole thing up. The fact that people are even referring to this whole debacle as a “beef” is just plain disturbing to me

I dont think she over-reacted at all… The only time she goes hard on him is when he says something about her or that situation so why dont he take her advice and shut the fuck up..Until he takes that path he deserves every bit of what she says… Snitch ass nigga..

T.I will end her career before it even starts, he’s battle tested.
April 23rd, 2012 at 4:07 pm
T.I speaking on female “beef” is bitch shit in itself. So over him at this point.
This “beef” was forgotten until Tip opened his mouth again. Sigh. Props to Azealia for speaking up for herself, (something Iggy’s obviously not allowed to do).

Iggy can’t defend herself because trying to prove you’re not a racist will only makes you seem like more of a racist. A white person, especially a rapper, will never win that argument.

Tip only talked on the subject / trick cause it was raised in the interview !! Tips an absolute legend with word play not many can come close to. Azealia needs to get some hype from releasing good music rather than talking hot air about everyone else (from the start).

The reality tv culture, on top of these gilded plasticine figures known as rappers have fooled the lot of you into thinking that a name or “rep” should strike fear in the hearts of anyone. Stop with the idolatry. He’s a man and she’s a woman. If he speaks and she chooses to respond what’s the issue?…I guess she might get blackballed from the Hip-Pop industry…OH WOE IS ME! hahaha clowns

Who is this Azealia stank ho anyways and where’s her respect? Even if she was going in on the white chick, that’s a sign of her trying to get a rep. lets hear ya music before you talk shit bitch! Get real!!! all these little new school moutha fucka’s think they can say what they want without repercussions… IGGY didnt say shit about this hocake but she just had to say something. These type of actions tend to end careers before they start and hers has def has not started. get a rep bitch before you open ya mouth on some bs! It would be different if it was a face to face action instead of music. I dont expect to hear anything exciting from this hoe in the future anyways… She aint even got a hit and talking shit, bitch swallow spit and shut the fuck up!And this Ms D, she aint sticking up for herself she started the shit and carried it on. Aint nobody studding this slut bucket or you…

Why does he keep commenting on this “bitch shit”? Maybe because if wasn’t A.Banks, nobody would know who Iggy is. They need A.Banks for press because they ain’t getting none with Iggy’s first single.

since when was TI a lyrical legend? lmao. Dude was always kinda poppy, even back in the “I’m Serious” (still his best track imo) days.
this is a three-way beef between mediocre artists.
he said, she said blah blah.

‘basically T.I. new artist got a song where she calls herself a “runaway slave master”…the Banks chick made everybody aware of the line via twitter and her and the white girl exchanged words..Drama interview TIP n Iggy..Tip said that Banks was basically jealous of Iggy because she didnt make the XXL Freshman cover..Banks called TI corny for even speaking on the situation because it was between her and his artist..TI responded again calling this “bitch shit” and Banks responded again calling him a clown .in my view all of them are correct..he is corny, the white girl wack and this bitch stay on some loud mouth bitch shit”
Reply
April 23rd, 2012 at 8:17 pm
This “man’ is a clown…Tip put his two cents in with the runaway slave master shit. So he spoke on it first , thats why he’s involved. He should aspire or even pretend to be the kind of man he’s describing. He’s right thats bitch shit.
Reply
April 23rd, 2012 at 10:31 pm
This whole thing is stupid and filled with ignorance on both sides… TI was asked a question and he answered it… Simple.
At the same time TIP can’t be telling anybody to keep his name out of their mouth… Any time u say that u are preparing for what’s to come after that. And Ms. Banks doesn’t seem to have a filter nor a muzzle on her mouth so in true hip hop fashion she told TIP to shut the fuck up and called him out on some shit.
I mean I like it because any controversy is good in hip hop right now, shit is just too quiet now a days. At the same time, its bitch shit for TI to even be in between these chicks tho…. It sucks that its bitch shit like this that we have to stoop to for entertainment.

for those commenting on ti commenting on a banks: tip has tracks with legends(mainly jay hova and slim shady) he can say or do whateva he wants…tip has sons and daughters and millions…tip has a core fan base…
who could tip have snitch on if he was the top mastermind behind the guns case and everyone else involved was working with the feds???

I strongly disagree! So your saying status gives you the right to say what you want when ever you want and the person aint suppose to defend themselves? Negative I dont know where your from but that dont fly in most hoods especially mines!

@ a boogie
when that person is a nobody and has not accomplished anything at all compared to the status t.i.p then yea im going with t.i every single time…respect the game… thats it…
the shit this bitch is saying to t.i., you wouldnt even expect to come out of nickis mouth, but if it was nicki it would be cool…but who is ti having a dispute with? exactly
ti is not beefing with banks he is just protecting his investment and her development, why put your money into an artist if you gonna let this nobody ruin iggys fan base by pulling the race card…iggys not experienced enough to handle that she would end her own career b4 it started jus trying to defend herself with that kendrick lamar alteration…
ti is building competition for nicki…not some crusty mouth carpet munching newcomer nobody jus tryna get her name up….
at the end of the day a. banks is responsable for this whole dispute because she hated and ran her nobody mouth off about iggy being on the xxl freshman cover minutes after the world found out cause she knos iggy is gunnin for nicki spot and with grand hustle behind her it can happen meanwhile a. banks is still struggling to make a buzz…
now ti’s status wouldnt be as invulnerable if it were beyonce he was going back and forth with and we all kno why…
azealia banks is desperate for attention:
1. tryna make race a factor with iggy
2. tryna turn the females against ti by tryna play the victim like ti is picking on her
3.whats next she gonna have a twitter dispute with chris brown and bring up rihanna???
at the end of the day leave ti’s artist/ money alone and he wouldnt be forced to address u, either that or sign to alphamega’s label
Reply
April 24th, 2012 at 2:25 am
@a boogie plus if status doesnt mean anything in the hood your from…chances are…YOU ARE NOT FROM THE HOOD
ps: face it the only reason anyone knos who azealia banks is, is because she keeps tryna start a beef with ti and iggy azealia…
but all she gonna do is bring T.I.P to the surface, and thats what im waiting for, we aint seen him since that case…
niggas acting like t.i.p wont lose it, he already told her to get her man when talking to him…
and im a Hov kinda guy…but i gotto let the unknown be learned

Time out dog i get it to you T.I. is the man to you but he aint the man to everybody and i am definitely from the jects. I wasnt tryin to disrepect you so please dont go there with me. I’ll give you an example when has status ever stopped one of these rappers from getting robbed for their chains and or shot at (TI,Juelz,biggie, pac, Fabolous,Tyga, and the list goes on)Status dont give nobody a pass whether they’re a somebody or not. Status just puts a target on your back!

Fool consider thetime period of the chain grabs! And we and talking bout chain yanking cause that ain’t respect! We talking music wise… Stop trying to be over righteous…. Anyone will tell you you have to make ya bones in anything you do. You just a prime example of a slap up incident waiting to happen cause you feel you can say shit! You can but again repercussions will insue! Again she needs to respect before getting it! The youth today think they can just take shit, well try me and you can take these shells withcha for that there attitude!

I think your missing the point. What your talkin about paying homage and thats cool, but what im saying is the girl feels like shes being disrespected so she will naturally defend hereself and thats her right plain and simple. If Donald Trump was walking down the street where your from and called u a ape your not gonna checkem cause hes Donald Trump? thats all im trying say nothing else to say after that we can just agree to disagree!

No u missing the point. It would be acceptable if ahe were defending herself but she started the nonsense going at Iggy so u aren’t valid. She went at Iggy for lyrics. Face it she’s garbage… Thanks for playing tho.

before ti or azealia banks…iggy had a buzz with “my world” and “pussy” songs/vidz and even if u aint kno her music any random joe knew her as asap rakim jr.’s girlfriend at the very least…and if ti didnt get her some major label woulda picked her up and made her nicki minaj competition anyway so your just talkin out of your booty hole
and you got it backward we only know banks cause of her jealousy of iggy’s rapid progress…
cut that 212 harlem shit out jus cause banks reppin harlem

That fact of the matter is 212 is a hit and the other girl’s song isn’t. “Rapid progress”? Stop it! If this were a race, A.Banks would be winning.

Ti is overrated anyway im def not looking foward to any neew music from him or a battle song that girl is correct if you a man act like one girls go back and forth he spoke his piece which was also corny but he should shut up now and for the record Azalea Banks is Waaaaaaay better than Iggy Azalea lyrically shit take away those weird ass techno beats that bitch is better than Ti too…

ok heres the thing with azealia banks…its bad enough u and iggy shares names…just ignore ti b4 u unknowingly blackball yourself…you are tryna win against a man who won against the law, his relationships and connections is up there u wont win even if you do…
just ignore iggy and ti and when they mention you just use the attention to ur avantage like display your talent instead of your temper and you will grow
and everyone would like u better…keep your cool and never blow your compsure…act a lil less cocky and a lil more effortless
then ill be your number 1 stan(behind jay-z)
you gonna make new york look bad if you let t.i. cut your career b4 you drop an album
