Lil Nas X Savagely Claps Back at Azealia Banks Then Deletes 'Provoking' Tweet, Sending Her Love Instead

Lil Nas X and Azealia Banks made noise on social media after the two had engaged in a brief tweet exchange on platform X (formerly Twitter).

On October 28, Banks uploaded a tweet saying that the "Industry Baby" rapper "fell off so hard." Banks continued, "Lmao that little c***rag swore she was the tea. B**** has NO BARS."

The post immediately drew attention and netizens didn't hesitate to call out Banks for her insulting remark. One netizen commented on her need to drag everyone down, "Always talking about everyone but never looking in the mirror."

Others mentioned Banks' capabilities and relevance as an artist through comments such as "And when was your last hit record?" and "Mind you, you're washed and nobody even knows you anymore, (you should) worry about that."

Following this, Lil Nas X took matters into his own hands by replying directly to Banks' post.

However, Lil Nas X deleted his original post and replaced his reply with a "more caring" version on his Instagram Stories. Pop Base shared that Lil Nas X had sent love to Banks instead and that he wished "nothing but guidance and clarity" for her.

Lil Nas X then shared that he wanted Banks to thrive and "drop the internet bully act." Behind his caption was Banks' song "Fantasea," which was released on April 24, 2023.

In other news, on October 16, Lil Nas X congratulated Kendrick Lamar for breaking the record of his 2019 hit featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, titled "Old Town Road."

According to Billboard, Lamar entered his song "Not Like Us" on the Hot Rap Songs chart, where it spent several weeks at No. 1.

Lil Nas X shared that the song had "a good run" on the music charts, "The horses are officially, actually, in the back now! Congratulations to Kendrick."
