Azealia Banks‘ ‘Anna Wintour’ is heating up the Billboard Dance Charts and decided to stop by the Breakfast Club to speak on false narratives of her, evolving as a person and why she stopped liking Cardi B. The new eONE signee even addressed the issues with RZA and Russell Crowe, being drugged at Coachella and more.

Azalea Banks on being blacklisted

“The powers that be have given me some leeway,” she explained. “I’m back a little bit. They let me stick my head through the window, they didn’t let in the door yet […] Of course I had to change. I don’t know what I’ve had to change. But, I feel like I’ve changed. I feel different. I don’t feel as tense as I did when I first came out. Just tense, angsty. I’ve been trying to grow and change for a very long time and I just haven’t been given the room to do that.”

Azalea Banks on Cardi B’s Impact

“When I look at black women’s culture as a whole thing and you think about the media and the power that the media has. The media had the power to get rid of me and the media has the power to make anyone the forefront,” she offered. “Two years ago, the conversation surrounding black women’s culture was really reaching an all-time high and we were really like discussing our power amongst ourselves, Beyoncé came out with Lemonade. There was just this really, intelligent conversation going on nationally and then everything just kind of changed and then it was like Cardi B […] I’m just talking about this caricature of a black woman that black women themselves would never be able to get away with.”

Cardi B allegedly responded to Azealia’s Breakfast Club comments on twitter a few hours later
