After months of squabbling with her record label, Azealia Banks has finally been dropped from Universal Music Group.

Azealia Banks' career has been stagnating lately, as she hasn't released any new music since last October and often seems more focused on starting Twitter beef than working on albums. Much of that is due to her dissatisfaction with her record label, Universal Music Group, which became known in January after she tweeted some less-than-positive things about her deal.

Now, months later, it appears as though she's finally gotten her wish and been dropped from the major label. In keeping with her current reputation, Banks took to Twitter to share the news, referencing The Color Purple and her past dream to be a "cool indie chick." Read all pertinent tweets below.

Now let's just see how fast she's able to turn her career around and release new music.
