What… what is happening right now??
Azealia Banks is no stranger to picking fights with celebrities online.
Quite why the ‘212’ rapper is so prone to kicking off isn’t clear (we imagine she just finds it kind of funny), but she has taken shots at Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Pharrell Williams, Zayn Malik, T.I., Busta Rhymes, Iggy Azalea, Rihanna, Lil’ Kim, Rita Ora, Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and more besides.
We can now add Lana Del Rey to that list, after Banks took aim at the ‘Summertime Sadness’ singer on Twitter for… again, it isn’t clear.
Last week, Del Rey responded to Kanye West’s post about supporting Trump, calling out his “Delusions of grandeur, extreme issues with narcissism”:
To which, Azealia decided to reply…
With us so far?
Okay, because it goes on.
Del Rey clearly clocked these Insta-stories, and brought to fight over to Twitter…

A few minutes later, there were tweets from @shopcheapyxo account, not replying to Del Rey’s messages directly, but still putting the singer on blast:

And guess what? Lana quickly saw those, too:

Again, the Azealia Banks account did not directly interact with Lana Del Rey’s, but did mention one of her tweets, and stated they would be talking to her legal team, to which – AGAIN – Del Rey seemed to go full Conor McGregor with the reply:

So here were. Mark your calendars.
