"I HAVE A HOME AGAIN... I’m crying . The Industry left me out on the street like a stray dog and now I have shelter again.
"This is really making me cry I’m so happy and grateful and thankful for all of this and I promise I’m going to make the KUNTS so proud."
"Thank you guys so freaking much you don’t know how much this means to me @eone_music @williamrobillardcole."

Banks expressed interest in featuring the 'Anaconda' rapper on the song alongside Mel B of the Spice Girls.
Meanwhile, Azealia was recently embroiled in a beef with 'Bodak Yellow' rapper Cardi B after she called Cardi a "poor man's Nicki Minaj".
