In case you’re wondering, money still doesn’t buy class.
Rapper Azealia Banks, who famously called Perez Hilton a “messy faggot” (and called for his suicide), then labeled GLAAD “fucking complete bullshit” in retaliation for being called out on her comments, enjoyed yet another Twitter feud over the weekend, this one with Vice blogger Mitchell Sunderland.
In a series of bizarre tweets that would make Amanda Bynes proud, Banks lashed out at Sunderland on Saturday night after he questioned her knowledge of twinks (in response to a previous tweet of hers that he found offensive). The rapper responded that she was a woman who “invented everything feminine” and even gave birth to gay men. She then went on to inform Sunderland that his mother pushed him “out of a pussy” and that his father “did not push you out of his dick.”
Classy, right?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
When Sunderland called Banks a homophobe, she fired back with: “I INVENTED femininity, OK? don’t be mad because I have an extra hole,” adding “You gay bloggers try waving that homophobia flag at me like women are not the original source. … I own AWWWWWLLLLL of this. It’s mine.”
When Sunderland tried to end the conversation, tweeting “GOODNIGHT,” Banks replied with “and even if i am a homophobe… so wat? [sic] i still make more $ than you.. still have an extra hole.. and still own everything.”
While we’re not sure which gives Banks more license for bad behavior — her large bank account or her extra hole — there’s one thing we’re sure of: It’s a damn shame controversy doesn’t sell records, because then there might actually be a point to all of this.
Oh wait …

One word came to mind while reading about Miss Banks—-GHETTO!!!
redcarpet30
My god. guess shes going to be the hot mess of 2015. That didn’t even make sense! And apparently lesbians don’t exist in her minds logic.
Stache99
@robho3: I just listened to her. It sounds like garden variety ghetto trash talking in rhymes with some cheap electronic music as background.
Stache99
At any rate, she definitely won’t ever be on my playlist. Nor will I ever be within 50 ft of any of her fans. Yikes.
Cam
It will be fun to read about her having to go to rehab with county assistance in a few years after she goes bankrupt and has a drug problem.
Avery Alvarez
Banks is still jealous that “Igloo Australia” got the career that banks wanted so bad but will never get.
DarkZephyr
She keeps bragging about her “extra hole”. No gay man wants that hole, baby. We gay men got the exact parts we want on each other. One hole and one pole. The way we like it!
Kieran
What is the name of the record company who is paying this ugly, homophobic ghetto tramp? We should know who is paying her for spewing this kind of hate speech so that we can organize a boycott against her enablers.
Stache99
@Kieran: She’s just trying to get her rapper bonafides in which commonly means being homophobic.
Kieran
What do you think would happen to Azalia’s career if she tried to get her “rapper bonafides” by attacking Jews and proudly proclaiming her anti-Semitism?
Levin
And I’m curious as to how many of you can be certain that she is “ghetto” by having never seen more of her than a photo in a Queerty article? Is it because she’s a dark skinned Black American woman who doesn’t meet traditional Anglo-American beauty standards? I’ll wait.

” She then went on to inform Sunderland that his mother pushed him “out of a pussy” and that his father “did not push you out of his dick.”
Last I checked my biology textbook it said that she could have dozens of extra holes but unless the father pushed his sperm out and into that extra hole there’s no way she can have a baby.

And there I thought she was a drag queen responding to Mary Cheney.

Azealia Banks is right. Women are responsible for a lot of homophobia towards male homosexuality. They see it as a form of male power because it’s an option for those men who also have sexual feelings for men. For many men, the male homosexual act represents freedom from the controlling force of women.
This is why it’s in women’s general interests to keep the male homosexual act in the “shameful” category.
Keep in mind that women use sexual consent to control the non-sexual behavior of men. A man knows that if he behaves himself in non-sexual ways, he will be sexually rewarded by his wife or girlfriend. If he doesn’t behave, he doesn’t get any.
If this man can then opt into his same-sex feelings, she’s made redundant.
jason smeds
Have you guys also forgotten that Rihanna appeared on stage with an anti-gay preacher?
Desert Boy
Never heard of her.
getoverurself
@Levin: OMG THANK YOOOOOOOOUUUUU! I’m so tired of certain individuals in the gay community throwing around that word like they have the slightest clue what it means to live, survive, and grow up in the ghetto. Boy go have a stadium full of seats……
Stache99
@Levin: Her language and “music” is chock full of n*ggers this and faggots that. That’s the definition of Ghetto in my book.
musctop
I thought that extra hole she was talking about was her fat ghetto mouth. She’s gonna be the next MC Hammer–and she’s gonna look great wearing a paper hat to work.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
So the asshole is informing us that it has an extra hole????
Palto
@jason smeds: you hit the nail on the head Jason.
Rob91316
Just another talentless, big-mouthed whore who’d probably be shooting up heroin in the alleys of the ghetto from which she came if not for all those record producer dicks she’s sucked. That might get your foot in the door, honey, but without any actual talent or value to offer the world, you’re on the fast track to “has been” status. We can start the clock NOW on the countdown to her posting a “Gofundme” page after she’s wasted her instant millions on hair extensions, wigs, acrylic nails, and crotchless lingerie — you know, all that stuff you need to snag a man because you look just like one without it. And I concur with DarkZephyr’s comment above — no gay man on planet earth has any interest in that “extra” stanky hole of yours that’s probably wide enough to drive a Winnebago through after serving as the resident cum-dump for every thug in Compton.
hgscott1
Umm she’s only worth an estimated 3 million dollars… That’s not that rich in today’s standards. Especially when you compare her to actual other rappers. Even if she was worth 300 million dollars, she’s still a classless idiot trying to become relevant by making obscene comments and behaving like a fool.

“You got a lot but you just waste all yourself. They’ll forget your name soon and won’t nobody be to blame but yourself.” – Azealia Banks
She is fuc#in’ her career right up. Delete your Twitter, take a deep breath. Your fans are paying for your sh!t now.
Captain Obvious
Doesn’t take much to stir up racism from entitled white gay men who so easily forget not all gay people are white.
Cagnazzo82
Note to Vice reporter: Never try to reason with someone who lacks both discipline and any education whatsoever.
You’re not winning that argument no matter how right you are.
Pretty sure the Doobie Brothers sang a song about this woman.
Aaron
The amount of casual racism in the comments is staggering.
Because she’s black she gets the GHETTO label.
Black and white people will both call her ghetto
A lot of you are just as ignorant and spiteful as she is. When someone in our community says faggot (especially those who are naturally effeminate) we all laugh but if they are straight males, black, lesbians, or bisexuals we show HOSTILITY.
Our community is full of H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S
adventuretime
And my comment calling out all the r@cist hypocrites on this thread is “awaiting moderation”–wonderful how all the bigoted hateful language gets through, and the people trying to call it out are banned.
Cee
@Stache99: Cheap electronic music. Is that like Lady Gaga?
Cee
@Avery Alvarez: Jealousy or frustrated that Iggy is a talentless hack and the masses are flocking to her garbage music?
Cee
@hgscott1: Classless? I’m sure you’re so classy yourself. Unless you’re friggin Mother Teresa you probably shouldn’t throw stones.
Cee
@Kieran: She’s not homophobic. She’s openly bisexual and has been with women. She has gay friends and went to an artsy fartsy school with a lot of gays.
jjose712
She is best known for her big mouth than for her music. And frankly she is a newbie and her mainstream success is very limited so i doubt she is that rich.
She is obsessed with social media, in the last month she insulted at least six rappers. She seems to have some mental problems because all that shit can’t be good for her career
jjose712
@Levin: Oh, come on, Azalea is on everywhere since the release of her album, unfortunately for her she is everwhere for her twitter fights and not for her music (even when the album had good reviews)
jason smeds
She’s openly bisexual? Puh-lease.
On a general note, women who are openly bisexual are often fakes who are only bisexual if there’s a man around who enjoys threesomes with two women. She gets financially rewarded for being bisexual in the presence of a male, sort of like prostitution.
I have never liked these bisexual women. They find male homosexuality a threat to their phoniness.

Without even reading the comments… Let me guess… Jason Smeds has figured out a way to apply this to all women by making claims that all women think just like her and she is just the mouthpiece for all women. Completely ignoring the fact that this is just one woman and over sweeping generalizations of all women based on this statement is about as bigoted as saying that all gay men are the exact same.
For the record, she is entitled to her opinion. I was not very likely to buy her music before this, and I am not very likely to buy her music now, but she has the right to say and believe whatever she wants and we have the right to buy her crap or not… That is how freedom works.
tdx3fan
@Cam: I would not necessarily call that fun. I can understand not liking her based on her views, but the vast majority of artists of this type that end up on county assistance do it because a family member “helps” them spend all of their money. Look at Lebron James and his washed up trashy “mother” figure who parties VERY hard on his dime.
tdx3fan
@getoverurself: Honey… take the advice of your own name. Do not begin to assume that because white boys did not grow up in the ghetto that it was all fame and fortune and a bed of roses. By the way, the term ghetto is not even a black term. It was popularized way before the 1960s when the blacks took over the ghettos… it was used to demonize Irish Catholics (you know, whit boys).
tdx3fan
@Palto: No he did not… if you can think of one supportive woman in your life you should be ashamed for even thinking that. You have to understand that he hates ALL women. Apparently, there has never been a supportive woman in his life, so he feels a strong need to demonize them all.
tdx3fan
@Rob91316: I just don’t trust anything that bleeds for 9 days and never dies.
tdx3fan
@hgscott1: Oh, so we are worth more on paper than she is… that is kind of funny. Honey needs to learn what real money is!
tdx3fan
@Captain Obvious: Doesn’t take much to stir up homophobia from entitled black women who so easily forget that not all black people are hetero. ~Works BOTH ways!
tdx3fan
@Aaron: Really, you are going to make a post about casual racism and say because she is black she gets the ghetto label? No, she gets the ghetto label because of her behavior… you are the only saying its assigned because shes black. Personally, when someone in my community (gay men) says that word, I find it just as offensive as when someone out of our community says it. Unless they are from England or somewhere else where the connotation is completely different.
tdx3fan
@Cee: Lady Gaga writes most of her own songs and half the songs for half of the other female musicians. Putting her on the same level is kind of sad.
tdx3fan
@Cee: Mike Huckabee (sp?) also has gay friends. I am pretty sure you cannot make the argument that he is not homophobic. Of course, you would never actually try because he is white and male so he does not get the same pass you are trying to give to this chick because she is black and female.
Equality means equality… if you want to give a pass to this black chick because she has gay friends then you need to give the exact same pass to Mikey.
Captain Obvious
@tdx3fan: No it really doesn’t and ignoring the casual racism of the gay community which makes up way more people than one single black woman speaking for herself is ignorant.
If you can’t find a way to comment on her statements without bringing her skin color, ethnicity, or stereotypes about black people into it then you can’t claim there’s no racism at play.
You’re pretending because this one woman said something that all black women said something negative about all gay people… that’s just plain idiotic.
Captain Obvious
And everyone seems to have casually forgotten that she was pro-gay before being attacked nonstop by gay people in defense of PEREZ HILTON of all people. Hypocritical beyond belief. He is a messy f@ggot and he uses the word f@ggot himself.
All those tears shed over a douchebag who outs closeted gay men for his own selfish amusement.
The so called gay community is a total embarrassment way too often. I’m not even a fan of Banks, but it’s hilarious how some of you spent what a year ranting about her, and then swooning over white gay men who’ve said f@ggot. Terrible hypocrites. Only get mad when the person is black or Hispanic. If they’re white and you find them attractive you’ll keep drooling and pretend nothing was said.
TransParency_
@DarkZephyr: You said: “No gay man wants that hole, baby. We gay men got the exact parts we want on each other. One hole and one pole. The way we like it!”. You are the typical privileged, bigoted, cissexist, ciscentric homo. No, not all men(including gay men) have a “pole and a hole”. Some happen to have 2 holes and that doesn’t make them less men(or less gay) than you and your privileged Cis-homo friends. Stop trying to erase us. Stop with your genital essentialism. You can have a vagina and be a man; and more importantly, you can LIKE vaginas and be gay. YOU don’t like vaginas, because YOU are a transphobe, but that doesn’t invalidate my identity. No wonder people like Banks has such a poor image of the gay community; the Cis-gay community should stop trying to erase us from the community before complaining about what some rapper has to say on Twitter.
ApolloDionysus
@TransParency_: Stop trying to make fetch happen. You are not a man, will never be a man, you’ll never get rid of that double X chromosome. And no, you can’t like vagina and be a gay man, that’s a contradiction. And who the hell says “cis”? Go back to tumblr
maxxbot
@TransParency_:
“No wonder people like Banks has such a poor image of the gay community”
They have a poor image of the gay community due to the comments of one single guy in the comments section of an obscure website? You seem to just be looking for an excuse to trash the mean cis white gay men.
maxxbot
@Captain Obvious: I agree with your comments on racism but it’s silly to complain that gays can use the word faggot and others can’t. That’s like people who aren’t black complaining that black people can use the n word and they cannot.
TransParency_
@maxxbot: Thanks for the patronizing dismissal of my criticism of privileged Cis homo men. No, it’s not one man and it’s not just white, the majority of gay men on every forum and that I talk to in real life claim(politely but firmly) not to be attracted to vaginas as if that were for them to decide, and as if my identity weren’t valid. Gay men don’t get to simply decide vaginas are not sexually appealing at the expense of our identity, THAT IS TRANSPHOBIC. Until ALL gay men accept transmen as viable sexual partners(regardless of what’s between our legs), they don’t get to complain about lack of acceptance, in fact, they don’ get to complain about anything. Now go back to your privileged Cis-homo life.
caleb2006
Yeah this ones about azealia banks
But it’s my name you need to keep in the memory banks, thanks.
I give you top class service but my finish is delicious
I think she just mad cause my boyfriend’s dick bigga,

Let’s talk about your hole
That extra hole you use to slide up and down the pole.
I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole
I wouldn’t taste it with my straight brothers tongue. Cause I don’t eat pussy
Specially if it’s so bushy.
You need to tweeze it before I tease it.
Like your head of hair, you gotta get that. Nair.
You talking way too much bout your fanny
Where the fuck is your nanny
Don’t mean to jump from topic to topic
But don’t get me started on the skittles
Let me translate, that fruity m and m.

He’s just no good with the rim.
Back at it perhaps you didn’t hear
