Azealia Banks: "Beyoncé Is Not an Artist, She's a Poacher"

Azealia Banks is at it again as she shares her honest, say controversial views, via her Twitter account. After calling out the likes of Diplo, Disclosure, Stone Roses, and many more, the Harlem native is now taking aim at none other than Beyoncé, who’s been impacting the industry with her visual album LEMONADE. Calling the album the “Antithesis of what feminism is,” Azealia continued her criticism in a series of tweets, accusing Bey of takes food out of darker skinned women’s mouths & pretends to be inspired” and “purposefully avoiding ‘blackness.’” Read her tweets below.

@tanehisicoates Don’t think for a second that beyonce was intelligent enough to come up with any of those ideas on her own.
