After making a grand entrance into the music industry a few years back with his massive track “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X struggled to replicate that level of triumph.
He attempted to gain momentum for his subsequent releases by using provocative antics, but to no avail. Some may recall his controversial approach, including jabbing at Christianity with the launch of his “J Christ” single, which flopped dramatically on the charts.
Azealia Banks observed the downturn in Nas X’s career and took the opportunity to throw shade.
“Lil Nas X really plummeted so fast,” she tweeted. “Lmfao that little fool thought she was the hottest thing. Bitch has NO RHYME. Hahahahaahahahaa.”
Nas X eventually fired back.
“Azealia, I could stop creating hits entirely, and you’d still never reach a fraction of my achievements in your miserable existence, filled with self-hate and clinging to your failed endeavors. Love your music by the way,” he responded.
In response, Azealia escalated the feud.
And you nearly didn’t have a SINGLE hit if those white folks hadn’t swooped in to lend a hand. You were out here struggling, looking disheveled, eating gruel while being saved for just pennies a day. COME AT ME AGAIN @LilNasX, I dare you…

“And you nearly didn’t have a SINGLE hit if those white folks hadn’t swooped in to lend a hand. You were out here struggling, looking disheveled,” she expressed in part.
Azealia persisted, which led to accusations of her being homophobic. Her tweets are displayed below.
You have no clout, my dude. It’s giving broke-buck race play, Uncle Tom vibes. Not you fishing for me to join your little whack project. You’re upset that I turned you down. Booooooooooooo. It’s over for you.

Listen, I’m not about to debate with a washed-up fool. You’re angry that the industry has turned you into a joke, exploited you, and tossed you aside. Go take care of that bruised ego like it’s a baby. You’ll be okay. Keep your head up, MA @LilNasX.
