After years of using social media to antagonize just about everyone, it looks like Azealia Banks is finally “over” social networks for good. Taking to her Facebook, the Slay-Z artist shared the following statement:

I’m seriously tired of peoples feelings. I’m tired of seeing their overly sensitive reactions and responses to everything. I’m tired of having everything I say or do be monitored and I’m tired of being told how I should be behaving.

I’m quitting Facebook, and any other form of social media that allows me to engage with people.

My legacy can’t live and die on the Internet.

Goodbye.

For good.

We’ll just have to wait and see if this sticks. In recent months, Banks has used homophobic slurs, attacked Zayn Malik with racist remarks, attacked Beyonce, called “whiteness” a “mental illness” and more.
