While the 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards were in full force on Sunday night, Azealia Banks took to Twitter to express her dissatisfaction with her label home Universal Music:

I REALLY should have signed with Sony. Can someone at Sony buy me off of Universal please?? i’m really in hell here. Please Help : Serious Inquiry. I would literally give anything to be on XL right now. I’m tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft. they don’t even know what they’re listening for or to. I’m literally begging to be dropped from Universal. Universal needs to just hand me over to another label who knows what to do with me. My fans really need some new music. I’ve been gratefully riding off of mixtape fumes for the past two years but I’m more ready than ever…..

Banks signed with the major label after her single “212” blew up across the digital sphere and beyond. Her debut album Broke With Expensive Taste has been pushed back multiple times.
