Yeah, I find the mocking of the famine and telling people to die to be absolutely hilarious.

As funny as people making fun of the holocaust.

Hmm, I’d consider myself to have a very dark sense of humour and find most things funny, but the funniest thing to come out of Ms Banks was Dave Holmes.

I could make some woman beater jokes, but I know what’s funny.

Seriously? Since when has being a bully being funny. She has said the nastiest things to people the past few years.

:D

The cheek of her commenting on peoples looks when "she" herself looks like she should be suing some surgeon for the failed gender reassignment surgery

Sure she's calling out to McGregor for help after mentioning the famine.

Obvious what she is doing, some good publicity for her gigs

TheValeyard

I take it we think she's as bad as Cromwell now?

DrumSteve

I'm very impressed with her research in how to troll us the most.

Also, didn't Russell Crowe try and knock her out that one time?

Oh worse than Cromwell.

You wouldn't find Cromwell tweeting famine jokes at three o'clock in the morning.

She seems to have mental health issues, a difference so to speak, best left to her own devices.

Sure it is, because that really helped Katy Hopkins.

Far more likely to be because she's not white and would scream racism.

' She could eat an apple through a letterbox with them knashers 😁'

I like her. She clearly has an attitude, but there's something a bit sexy about it, combined with the fact she is quite good looking in the first place.

She also happens to be stupidly talented, which probably get distorted by what she makes headlines for. If Beyonce went around calling people f*ggots and making Holocaust jokes earlier in her career she probably wouldn't be the symbol we know now.

Agree she really is very talented, shes incredibly artistic and a great rapper and lyricist

Heaven help us all. Azealia Banks is a racist, homophobic, disgusting waste of space. She had one good song over seven years ago. Let's not dress it up.

Ye are making her out to be this misunderstood genius who is just being satirical - when she's just a screechy, tantrum-throwing, aggressive, insult-throwing overgrown brat.

I think people who take her bait directly on social media are idiots (and adults throwing insults back about her looks? Eh... primary school is long over folks), but people are right that they're uncalled for and very disrespectful to our history. But it's ok for her to do that - not others though, and certainly not to other targets like, oh I don't know... African Americans?!

She's an epic troll, and her first big hit (212) is absolutely epic. She treats the internet like is should be treated - an unfiltered shoutbox for having the craic and not for taking seriously. I for one hope we see more hilarity from her with regard to our fine little Isle before she finds a new target to troll.

- Firing out insults, both personal and to entire groups
- Above racially charged at times
- Advocating gang rape of Sarah Palin (a woman I can't stand by the way)
- Screaming crying if people insult her back - disrespect her culture even slightly and a paddling, but it's ok for her to do it (thought you hated double standards Pat?)

So no, she is not "having the craic", she is just being a nasty little bitch.

And surely you can see this, so yeah, just looks you're trying to be edgy.

Is it not obvious that she's trolling though? If I thought she was serious, the double standards would piss me off, but in my view she's just taking the piss all around.

When she throws tantrums - I mean actual crying tantrums like she's two years old - or rage fits at being refuted, doesn't look like it.

Yeah she is winding up people too but she's also a horrible piece of work and while I would not take her bait, I disagree with downplaying the ugly aspects of her behaviour.

And it's a little reminiscent of the leprechaun guy in The Simpsons who says "Tis true, we took many a beating - but shur twas all in good fun!"

I hope everyone in this thread is happy with themselves and all the abuse they have given back at her, because at just 27 years of age she has now been found dead to Ireland.

I wouldn't be surprised if McGregor gave her some tips on the best way to troll the Irish.

this is like the gillette advert. annoy people and then get a lot of free publicity. Personally ive never heard of the woman and couldnt give a feck what she says. though as I say - all this thread is doing is getting her name out there - which is what she wanted.

Yep, the whole of boards will be at her next Irish gig because we are all talking about her.

Have to admit I never even heard of the rapper Azealia Banks until I read about her disgusting racist rants. What a truly loathsome racist she is. No question as the below article says if what she said was an Irish person or someone else saying something comparable about Blacks there would be mass outrage and rightly so.

https://www.irishcentral.com/opinion/niallodowd/blatant-racism-azealia-banks-irish-free-pass

To say she owes an apology is quite the under statement.

I am going to disagree with you. For me what Banks said is so loathsome and so vile that her racism must be called out. This disgusting kind of hate speach is not acceptable and should not be overlooked.

SoundsRight

She's a hateful, talentless, ugly little troll.

The outrage at this has been palm face, news outlets getting involved. I downlanded one of her albums after hearing 212 a few years ago. It's alright, one listen is enough. She's a smart cookie, pulling the right strings getting attention. Missy Elliot is far better.

Harry Palmr

Someone should have collared her for hate speech.

Mrs Shuttleworth

I was at the gig on Tuesday, whatever she mouths she is a seriously talented rapper and her tracks sound so much closer to generic African tribal music than the polished globalist hip hop that gets a free pass.

Was anyone else there? If so, did you see what happened at the end.

She took out a big red Dunnes-style shopping bag and started lobbing goodies into the crowd. She saw that down the back on the right hand side got nothing, aimed and fired but unfortunately hit some poor girl right in the eyeball and who was left in a right state...:eek:

Well she's already declared that Irish people have no white privilege so technically we should be able to say anything we want about her without being labelled as racist
