Azealia Banks is once again stirring the pot, this time targeting Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) in a fiery Twitter rant. The controversy began after TDE executive Punch defended Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show against critics, prompting Banks to unleash her frustrations on the collective as a whole.
In her tweet, Banks labeled TDE as “super pathetic” and described them as “the most HERB music collective hip-hop has seen.” She continued her tirade, criticizing the artists associated with the label for being “uncharismatic misfits” who rely on talented songwriters while failing to shine as stars themselves. “You guys are great at finding excellent songwriters/producers for all of the f*ing herb dork a absolute real life nobodies dressed up as ‘artists’ on TDE,” she wrote, emphasizing her disdain for the label’s roster.
Banks didn’t hold back, accusing the artists at TDE of being “non-stars” and “desperate impostors,” asserting that no matter what they do, they will always be perceived as “f***ing dweebs.” Her rant also included allegations that TDE is “corny” and “fake deep,” criticizing them for being sellouts to the “white capitalist machine.”
This is not the first time Banks has publicly criticized TDE. She has previously shown support for Drake in his ongoing rivalry with Kendrick Lamar and has had her share of confrontations with fellow artists like Doechii. In this latest outburst, Banks seems to have no intention of easing her stance against the label.
While some fans dismissed her comments as mere Twitter ramblings, others joined in, reveling in the drama and supporting Banks’ viewpoint. TDE’s Punch responded to the outburst with a simple wink emoji, leaving fans to speculate about the implications of this ongoing feud.
As the dust settles from this explosive rant, it remains to be seen if Banks will continue her critique of TDE or if this conflict will eventually fade from the spotlight. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops!
