Banks has hit out at Queen Bey.
Azealia Banks has gone on another explosive Twitter rant – this time about Beyonce and her new album ‘Lemonade’.
The ‘212’ rapper has labelled Queen Bey a “thief” and believes that her new album is anti-feminist and bad for fellow black women.
“Just six months ago you told every black girl in the industry to 'bow down' now you want to stick up for black folk lol,” she said.
She also claimed that Beyonce is perpetuating a “heartbroken black female narrative” and has called it “the antithesis of what feminism is.”
“You keep crying over a man and perpetuating that sad black female sufferance and it's not good for what we're trying to accomplish here,” she said.

Queens are supposed to lead, they don't step on the spirits of the girls who come after them then to just try and take that same spirit

And it's not what the national black women's conversation needs right now. More pain more suffering in the face of a man

Because she's not a "sister" she's a poacher. She's a thief. Sisters don't steal, sisters share. https://t.co/2SkMnUygpz

What does any of this have to do with the fact that she poaches art from other black women and pretends it's hers? https://t.co/EkiMWS3Jw8

@AquafarE she's a thief with no ideas of her own. Wanting to speak with absolutely nothing to say.

FEMINISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BLACK WOMEN. Feminism is a white woman's invention. Which is why I don't agree with https://t.co/C9LAoA0BU4

@_Jacism @teddyuniverse womanism was created by black women FOR black women. Feminism is a product of white female woes that have nothing to

Meanwhile, Azealia Banks’ long-running rival Iggy Azalea has also called out Beyonce for her use of the name “Becky”.
She claims it is a negative stereotype for white girls.
