I've met some right c*nts of staff on Aer Lingus so I don't think she's entirely to blame. The headline is ridiculous she's clearly not saying Irish women are ugly she's saying the staff's behavior was ugly.

She is, she's slagging off our rose of tralee now calling her ugly.
She's trying to offend us all as a country, so she can get attention and stay relevant.

"I've worked too hard in my life to be cornered by some ugly Irish b***h. They are ugly Irish women here"

Sure Dan, sure.

How dare she slag off our Rose of Tralee, that's the last straw.

Can't see any trace of her doing that, seems unlikely (or stupid) as she is in Dublin now

All I'm saying Bob is that you can be ugly in more than one sense, and saying "They are ugly Irish women here" does not necessarily equal "All Irish women are ugly" and is a clickbait headline.

I think it much more likely she's saying "There are Irish women in my vicinity with unredeeming personality traits", but she didn't quite articulate that at the time

But also, I don't give AF :pac:

She has that one class song, where if the clean version is played it effectively mutes about 92% of the words!

212.

Great tune all right but so strangely aggressive for one so young. She had a comfortable upbringing by her own admission - why such hostility.

Elon Musk must have shares in Aer Lingus

It sells? The whole "teenage angst and anger" always has and its made for some great music.

The holy hack of this poxy horror, looks like a sock full of yogurt.

Wynter Tender Cliff wrote: »

That's just loopy. Of course she doesn't.

She is a rude obnoxious weapon but making unfounded claims about her looks is just stooping to her level.

She's at best pretty (likely very pretty when tarted up), at worst unremarkable looking.

i get your point, maybe I should have not be so abrupt in the way she was.

Well I liked your comment because the linguistics in your description was positively fantastic, whether true or not.

I've never had trouble with any airline staff including aer lingus because guess what, I sit down and behave myself on a flight.

If in the rare event that anyone is a bit snippy, just do a Frozen and 'let it go', it's not that hard.

Travelling from point a to point b and a sense of entitlement.

Yeah, guess so.

This is all over the phrase "sort you out"
In Ireland, it means take care of you.
In the USA it means murder you.


She's the biggest drama queen ever and no doubt will be on some big radio show in New York claiming that she has been racially abused etc etc.

Bigbagofcans

In December 2014 she called for over $100 trillion to be paid to African Americans as financial reparations for the enslavement of their ancestors.

Why is it when Azelia and Sinéad O'Connor make crazy statements it makes the headline news? Attention-seeking is all they're at.

Have to say I'm surprised at this news. She's usually so nice.

In other news, the woman is actually a witch.

I know but there's teenage angst and then there's seething unhinged venom. She just seems like a total scumbag.

She was like 21 for that song - I'd say she doesn't even understand half of what she's on about.

sheesh

Marketing ! Azelia ok but she has never become a priest/nun/Muslim she needs to up here game

I think what is really alarming is that in a country with such a proud musical tradition, that someone like this can actually sell out gigs. Musical tastes have really gone down the pan in this once great nation. That a vulgar American female "rapper" can call Irish women ugly and mock the famine, and young Irish wans will still go see her, says it all about our moral decline. If I had a daughter that liked this sort of stuff I'd know that I failed as a parent.

Ah you wouldn't have failed as a parent. Can't stop kids from being into what the crowd are into, but I agree otherwise.

The mixed messages are what get me - "don't allow yourself to be objectified" yet "be as overtly sexual as possible".

she had a big hit 5 years ago and can barely sell out one of our smallest venues, I think we're doing ok!

Who?

orourkeda1977

I have no idea who she is.

I have no desire to find out who she is.

I love Irish women.

razorblunt

She's a mad woman for taking on Irish women.

My wife would go through her for a shortcut "the fcking state of her" was one of the nicer things she said about her when she read the story yesterday.

I'd love to see a standoff between Azealia and a howiya. The howiya would win hands down.

retro:electro

Had to laugh at her insta stories where she’s reposting messages from “Mary Mc Carthy” etc threatening to throw spuds at her tonight

Cartroubles

She has branded Irish people "potato pickers" and "UK peasants" now.

Bigbagofcans

"And your ugly pasty dry white lady winter skin face is the ugliest face I’ve ever seen that must be why you hide it all the time. HAVE SOME F*CKING RESPECT FOR MY F*CKING TRADITIONAL AFRICAN RELIGION YOU POMPOUS WHITE BITCH"

- She once tweeted that to the singer Sia.

There's a lot of vidyas online of them black american chung wans getting into digging matches, most of em seem to have glass chinss. An AJH would make mincemeat of her I reckon.

Omackeral

She's what they call "ratchet".

When's this gig then? I'd love to see the audience tell her to **** off.

Either not showing up or showing up and shouting her down since the tickets have been paid for, may as well get something out of it.

I wouldn't say she's a racist per se, she's just a colossal dickhead that craves attention in any form.

cavemeister

Never heard of this twat till yesterday but.... Damn, that song 212 is good!!

Church on Tuesday

Racist black woman meets typical Irish battleaxe.

Storm and tea cup comes to mind here.

EdgeCase

I strongly suspect a guerilla PR campaign to get publicity and she's got tons of it.

With the bad girl image, all publicity is good publicity even if it's negative.

Imagine any white singer/artist sending a tweet like that addressing Banks as a 'POMPOUS BLACK BITCH'. Their career would be over in a nanosecond.

She has form for this type of thing:
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/azealia-banks-clashes-with-flight-attendant


She's also gone on radio to make up stories, attack others, then break down saying that she is being racially abused and it's not her fault.
She's done the same on all social media platforms. Been released from record labels, quit the music industry a few times...it's an ongoing drama with her.

ToBeFrank123

Can I just reassure Irish women that they are not by and large ugly.

That should buy me some brownie points around here.

God she seriously sounds like someone I know and I can't f*cking stand the person I know.
