In January, Azealia Banks made headlines after referring to Perez Hilton, an openly Gay man, a homophobic slur. This week, she has done it again, continuing her feud with Hilton and continuing her use of the slur.
Banks began a Twitter exchange with Baauer over “Harlem Shake.” She made a version of his song (“Harlem Shake”) and he asked her to take it down. When she asked why he had her song taken down, he replied that it was not her song. This continued with her insulting him. Eventually Hilton became involved.
@azealiabanks @baauer Classy as always! How does it feel to be better known for all your trash-talking than your music, Azealia? #TeamBauuer

Later, she added the homophobic slur again.
@azealiabanks Ugh. There you go again with the F word. Showing your true colors. You are so parched.

Since then, Banks discussed her use of the word.
Why has society accepted “nigger”As a colloquialism … But will not accept “faggot”?
