Azealia Banks Lashes Out At LAX, Hurls Homophobic Slur At Flight Attendant

The rapper has FINALLY shut down her Twitter account.

The always controversial rapper Azealia Banks is fielding outrage on Twitter again this morning, after fellow passengers on her 1am flight to Los Angeles filmed her calling a flight attendant a “fucking faggot.”

TMZ reports that Banks was trying to quickly leave the plane once it landed, but was blocked by a French couple retrieving their luggage from an overhead bin.

Witnesses claim Banks immediately became unruly and demanded the couple move out of her way. Some claimed the rapper punched the man’s face, spit in his face, and clawed at his shirt.

At that point, you can see a Delta flight attendant approach Banks in the video below. He asks her to calm down so he can help her exit the plane, to which she responds with the anti-gay slur, “fucking faggot.”

Banks insists the French man hit her in the face, though witnesses dispute the claim. "I don't tolerate bitchassness and I don't tolerate men putting their hands on me,” she wrote on Twitter.

Banks is probably best known for her controversial mouth, which lacks a filter and routinely dumps offensive slurs on the masses purely for shock value. She skyrocketed to Internet fame in 2013 after defending her use of the word “faggot” against gossip blogger Perez Hilton.

Supporters have plead with Banks to discontinue using offensive slurs, but she proudly refutes the idea that she should "censor" herself as a celebrity.

Banks immediately began sparring with random followers on Twitter this morning after the incident and, shortly thereafter, set her account to "private" for the first time ever.

Some claimed Banks lost her Twitter verification over the controversy, but that is untrue. Twitter automatically de-verifies accounts that are switched to private.
