Azealia Banks is no stranger to controversy, and many of the ones she's been involved in have sparked from the rapper running her mouth on twitter. Whether it be trading diss tracks with Angel Haze, beefing with Diplo and Baauer over "Harlem Shake", or hurling gay slurs at Perez Hilton, Banks has quite a reputation on the social media site.
In her latest twitter rant, the "212" rapper takes aim at fellow Harlemite A$AP Rocky, who was recently interviewed in The Coveteur, in which he voiced the opinion that dark-skinned girls should avoid red lipstick.
"But for real, for me, I feel like with the red lipstick thing it all depends on the pair of complexion. I’m just being for real. You have to be fair skinned to get away with that. Just like if you were to wear like—fucking for instance, what do dark skin girls have that you know fair skinned girls cant do… Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls! Purple lipstick, guys! Like, what the fuck…" The A$AP rapper reported to the magazine.
Azealia, who happens to be of darker complexion, was not impressed with Rocky's remarks. Her series of tweets were all over the place, ranging from condescending to fragile, as she went from "lol"-ing at A$AP, to questioning his sexuality, to admitting that he had made her cry, and back to shit talking his crew in a matter of a few tweets.
Hopefully Rocky will be un-phased by Banks' remark that he should "come out of the closet", as he's expressed a fairly open-minded view of homosexuality. Azealia on the other hand continues to throw comments about sexuality around as insults.

Update: Azealia Accuses Rocky Of Having A Relationship With A Man From Harlem
Azealia continues to badger the A$AP crew via twitter. The NY emcee, who urged Rocky to come out of the closet yesterday is now claiming that A$AP once had a homosexual relationship with a man from his neighborhood, saying the rapper "used to get his dick sucked by this dude named Kenneth in Harlem." She then advised once again that the Pretty Motherfucker should "Be himself" and "Just come out!"
While Rocky has yet to respond to Banks' remarks, A$AP Nast hurled insults back at her.
