problematic posting

After threatening to expose “homo sh*t” about Kanye West, Azealia Banks posts cryptic messages online

Azealia Banks is at it again.

Last week, the 29-year-old rapper made headlines for saying Kanye West was faking his bipolar disorder to cover up the fact that he’s a “closeted homosexual,” then threatening to expose all the “homo sh*t” he’s done.

Now, she’s making headlines again, this time for posting a string of cryptic messages to her Instagram Stories, including suicidal ideations about how her “tenure here on earth” may soon be over.

“Yea, I think I’m done here,” Banks wrote in a post shared to Instagram last night.

“This pandemic, extreme lack of social interaction, no intimacy, combined with the constant public ridicule is making life harder than its worth.”

“I think I will end my tenure here on earth soon.”

Later, Banks said her suicidal post was not meant to be a cry for help, nor was she “begging for attention or asking for sympathy/empathy.” It’s just that her “soul is tired.”

“I’m just ready to go,” she wrote. “Peacefully of course.”

“I will document my last times and release a film for you all to finally understand me, From my perspective.”

Naturally, the whole thing set off a wave of concern on social media.

But not everyone was so concerned.

Today, Banks posted a video to Instagram laughing at her fans and calling it “really f*cking funny” that they thought she was suicidal.

Evidently, the whole thing wasn’t meant to be serious, so the joke’s on anyone who believed she was actually going to kill herself when she said she was going to end her “tenure on earth.”

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why Azealia Banks is problematic.

Here’s hoping she gets the help she needs.
