Who Is Azealia Banks Mad At Now? Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Beyoncé & More Grilled

While Azealia Banks is known for extensive social media rants against fellow artists, her latest tirade could be casting her widest net yet.

In a series of posts on her Instagram story, Banks is calling out Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Tate McRae, Lorde, Britney Spears, Victoria Monét, Christina Aguilera, Lil Nas X, and Caroline Polacheck.

The "212" rapper is a frequent critic of the Cowboy Carter songstress and her husband, but her new rants seem to serve up a fresh lineup of beef. Take a look at who Azealia Banks has called out in her latest social media firestorm.

Lil Nas X

After Lil Nas X commented on Beyoncé and Shaboozey's success in the country music industry for their recent chart-topping work, he stated that he wished he had the same type of success in the genre after "Old Town Road." The "New Bottega" musician accuses him of always latching onto different aesthetics without fully excelling with his music.

"'Old Town Road' was sensational at best but you really need to craft a good non-derivative song in order to stand out. You lowkey got demoted to influencer," she said, encouraging him to date Tyler, the Creator or A$AP Rocky. "I know the initial attention had you hype but it's because of your Azealia Banks Liquorice cosplay. U really latch on to everyone aesthetic and don't have a unique one of your own. Time to step it up."

Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Following up her conversation about Lil Nas X being unwelcome in the music industry, Banks called out Beyoncé, who has opened up about her acclaimed Cowboy Carter album being inspired by the backlash she received when performing at the Country Music Awards.

Some of the album, specifically "American Requiem" say that she was accused of not being "country enough." In her rant, Banks does not have much sympathy for the matter.

"Same with woe is me yoncé. U ain't get booed on some racist sh-, but sis," she says, before going on to accuse the "16 Carriages" singer of committing sexual acts while country music is "directly related to Christianity."

At the end of the slide, she called Jay-Z an "ex-drugdealer," bringing up his past that he has alluded to in previous interviews and song lyrics.

Katy Perry

This morning, Katy Perry began the launch of her "KP6" era, sharing a first look at the sleek metallic aesthetic on her social media and website. But prior to the logo's debut, she made headlines for calling Ariana Grande the "best singer of our generation."

Once Banks caught wind of Perry's remark, she attempted to flame the "Teenage Dream" singer and listed who she thinks should take the title instead.

"Katy is feeling the burn after turning on Dr. Luke. She ain't had a song worth a damn in forever," the Instagram story slide began. "We love Arianny, but Rachelle Ferrell, Jasmine Sullivan, Keke Wyatt, Sasha Keable, Kiesza, Ester Dean (when she's not hoarding the goods!!!!! Sis got so many good solo songs), Dawn Richards, Tori Kelly, BEYONCE."

Bringing up the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer two slides after slamming her, it seems that Banks' love of "Queen Bey" overrides her criticism.

Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Sabrina Carpenter, Lorde, Tate McRae, and Caroline Polachek

Following her comments about Grande and Perry, Banks doubled down that most well-known pop stars and singers do not compare to her favorite artists.

"Sorry pop girls you all pale in comparison to Stacie Orrico," she said. "Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter, Caroline [sic] Polachek, Lorde old face self just boring sh-. Like each and every one of you will never reach the pop glory of Stacie Orrico's 'I Could Be the One. Christina [Aguilera] and Britney [Spears] cannot hang with Stacie on that."

Victoria Monet

Following the news that Victoria Monet had dropped out of several summer music festivals - including New York City's Governors Ball - Banks called her out for a previous disagreement on Twitter.

"Oh wow this is [the] bitch I don't know that had so much to say on Twitter simply for saying I liked a new Tinashe song and that Ariana had great voice but the songs were pedestrian and not helping her grow as a singer..."

She went on to say that she was not a fan of Monet's Grammy-winning music, also criticizing her singing voice.

"Makes sense, Victoria Monet has a two octave rangeand writes them flaccid Ariana songs. That "on my mama" sh- was like a rejected Keri Hilson song. This girl should just crump on the next Chris Brown tour."
