AceShowbiz - Azealia Banks might have apologized to Lizzo over her past body-shaming remark. However, shortly after expressing her remorse to the "About Damn Time" hitmaker, the Harlem femcee insulted another artist by calling Busta Rhymes "overweight."
"I was having a conversation last night," the 32-year-old wrote on Instagram Story on Saturday, November 4. "And [I] realized that I owe Lizzo a huge apology for popping so much s**t."
In a follow-up post, Azealia argued, "If hip-hop will a 55+ several overweight Busta Rhymes, who exhibits major signs of anabolic steroid abuse, adrenal gland failure, and constipation, and will also allow him to have a face full of blackheads and acne from what appears to be testosterone shot abuse… All whilst drinking molly water in 2023 and wearing cartoon-like neon yellow fake gold Slick Rick chains… We have absolutely no right to be trying to skewer a young Black woman for anything."
Azealia took a harsh jab against Lizzo back in September 2019. "Lmao the fact that the public and the media has been keeping this fat girl joke going for so long is honestly peak boredom. This song is not good, nor is the dumpy fat girl spectacle live set she does," she wrote at the time. "Saddest bit is that the girl is legit talented and truly only being allowed to shine as long as she allows herself to be this millennial mammy of sorts."
The "Luxury" femcee then compared Lizzo to Queen Latifah, whom she dubbed someone who "was able to represent larger women without being a disgusting or being a minstrel." She continued, "So was Missy Elliott. Lmao Lizzo is really millennial mammy I'm ready this joke to be over."
"imagine what the rest of the world thinks when they see lizzo jumping around in leotards with cellulite ... no one says body positivity - she looks like she is making a fool of her black self for a white American public," she further fumed. "Nothing more nothing less .... all of this happening purposely."
