Azealia Banks Sides With Drake In Beef Against ‘Fake Gangsta’ Kendrick Lamar

Azealia Banks has chosen a side in the ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, and her choice is perhaps unsurprising. Taking to her Instagram stories on Friday (May 3), the controversial rapper-turned-commentator addressed the Compton native as a “nepo baby” and made it clear she prefers the 6 God, responding to a Billboard magazine post that read “Kendrick’s response was worth the wait.”

“No, it was not,” she wrote. “Kendrick is still 4’9” and wears the same jean size as me. No one on earth cares about the feelings of small, fake gangsta nepo babies.”

She continued: “@billboard y’all are paid for. Even the tone and timbre of Kendrick’s voice is an ultimate defeat. Lol, stop lying.”

This take on Drake is a complete about-face from her previous opinion of the Toronto native.

Back in October 2023, soon after Drake clapped back at Joe Budden’s criticism of For All the Dogs, she chimed in to offer her thoughts about the OVO boss asserting his success. On October 9, Banks wrote a lengthy post of her own to counter Drizzy’s from two days before.

“Does Drake know his nose job and liposuction is not Hip Hop??” she shared on her Instagram Story. “Does Drake know that no one who actually understands Hip Hop — a culture born from oppressed, don’t reeeeeeeeallly care about his soft-toothed colonized confused mixed-race facsimile attempts to exhibit the true authenticity of an actual MC?

“Does Drake know his desperate attempts to gangsterize Canadian ‘street life’ is an all-encompassing failure in and of itself?”

The New York City rapper also aimed at Birdman, who was quick to back Drake in the aforementioned spat with Budden.

“Does Birdman know how low IQ, tacky and how much of a fucking loser he looks threatening Joe Budden via the internet,” Azealia Banks wrote in a subsequent IG Story. “Can u just make some more lug and quit threatening people online before you get arrested?”

She continued: “Shit like that really makes the genre look trashy and low budget as hell… and sorry… you’ve kinda just made it so hot that if anything happens to Joe Budden it’s certainly getting traced back to you and Drake. LOL.

“Loved ur verse on ‘constantly hating’ but it has been a minute since anyone cared for your music, and Drake is redundant as hell. Only weird nepo babies and Eastern European immigrants who wear USS polo association, cool water, and media fuck boys actually care for him.”

She then switched to an entirely different ordeal, writing: “Work some magic and bring back young thug please.., that man is very very special.”

In conclusion, she circled back to Drake for one final blow: “Honestly, if Drake’s mother was black he’d probably not be so corny. White mom syndrome is very real.”
