The beef between Lana Del Rey and Azealia Banks began when Banks defended Kanye West from Del Rey’s political critique which she recently posted as a comment on a recent post on Kanye West Instagram.
On 30 September, Del Rey was praised for confronting Kanye West over his continued support of Donald Trump.
“Trump becoming our president was a loss for the country but your support of him is a loss for the culture,” she wrote in part.
Azealia Banks then called out Lana for her comments. “Don’t use Kanye for your own vapid attempts to seem politically aware when there is SO MUCH MORE bootleg witchcraft you could be doing to TRY and take down 45,” Banks wrote. “Kanye is not your enemy or THE enemy.”
Banks further posted on her Instagram story.
“I’m tired of white women in Hollywood and their fake ass innocent agendas,” she said. Tagging Del Rey, Banks wrote, “I suggest you apologize to Kanye West immediately.”
Last night, Lana took their beef over to Twitter to write: “U know the addy. Pull up anytime. Say it to my face. But if I were you—I wouldn’t,”
“I won’t not f*ck you the f*ck up. Period.”
Lana also wrote, “u coulda been the greatest female rapper alive but u blew it. dont take it out on the only person who had ur back.” Find her tweets below.

Banks responded by criticising Del Rey’s appearance and weight, to which Del Rey offered to recommend her both a surgeon and a psychiatrist: “Your psych meds aren’t working.”
The last message appeared to be from Banks, who suggested she was considering legal action against Del Rey.
