Azealia Banks is notoriously outspoken, and has been so for years. Her dislike for the record producer Diplo has been public knowledge for a while now. Over the years, she has called him “a real f***ing snake,” claimed he owes her $20,000, and accused him of sexual misconduct, among other things. Even though they once worked together, Azealia Banks is not the producer’s biggest fan. While she has a long history of beef with him, it seems she’s not yet done with calling the DJ out on his alleged crimes. On November 15, 2023, Banks went on a long rant on her Instagram story. In the videos, she made some truly disturbing allegations against Diplo. Here’s a breakdown of her most recent accusations against the DJ.

She claimed that when she confronted Diplo about it, he abandoned her, saying he hadn’t told her to release a song with the beat.
