All The Way Up: Azealia Banks & Remy Ma Trade Social Media Insults

Azealia Banks and Remy Ma, two ladies who are no strangers to beef, found themselves going at it on social media over the weekend. After hearing some comments made by Remy during an interview on Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning, Banks fired off some insults at the “SHETHER” MC.
“When I came home it was nothing,” Remy said during the interview. “It was tumbleweeds blowing through as far as female artists is concerned.

Banks responded in a since-deleted Instagram post by chiding Remy for using Nicki Minaj to stay relevant.
“Remy – the hottest things you’ve released since you’ve been out of jail are Nicki love letters and she’s STILL miles more important than you,” she wrote.
Remy saw this before it was taken down and aired out Banks by sharing some of their private messages.
“@azealiabanks Ayo, I know you ain’t talkin about me, dog,” she wrote. “You? What?! You been on my dick; you love my style #RemyMa #RemyMafia #ShesBack #Part1 Ps: I know you don’t want no smoke so I’ll play ya lil social media games until I allow my team to convince me to stop… MIND U LADIES & GENTLEMAN THESE TEXTS START FROM LAST YEAR…PEEP HOW I DONT EVEN RESPOND…smh…I’m responding now though.”

Banks then tried to clarify her comments and be more diplomatic about the situation.
“Ahem…. let me rephrase … Remy … you absolutely must step your shit up,” she said. “The music you have been releasing is some serious old head rap shit and it’s 100% unfair that you stand up on your reality tv booster seat and make any statements about female rap as if you have done a single thing to move the cultural needle since you’ve been home. It is not 2000… battle rapping is dead. Gun clapping is not chic .. you are struggling to keep up with the rest of female rap and it’s time you seriously leave the nicki minaj subs and disses at home. No more auntie antics in 2018… for arts’ sake……”

Remy wasn’t having it, slamming Banks for deleting the original Instagram post and sharing more of their once-private correspondence.
“@azealiabanks DONT FUCKIN CHANGE YA CAPTION NOW!” she retorted. “I got a year and a half more of u stalking me, hating on ya new fave, & getting ignored… I’m officially airing out ALL y’all chicks that was on MY line heavy when I touched down & now all of a sudden got amnesia?Operation NEVER taking my foot off they neck has commenced…(& normally I’m against exposing private sh*t when things go left but y’all broads crazyyy).”

Remy has since deleted both of her Instagram posts.
