Azealia Banks Leaves Her Label (Again)
Azealia Banks’ very public dispute with her previous record label, Universal, led them to drop her from their roster, which allowed her to release her long-delayed debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, last year. She partnered up with Prospect Park management for the release of that record but yesterday, she announced that she’s leaving the label. “AB is back on the market!” she tweeted.
I'm leaving Prospect Park guys. AB is back on the market!

Billboard got in touch with Prospect Park, who confirmed the split, and added: “We believe she’s one of the most talented artists in the world and are very proud of the work we did on her behalf. We wish her all the best.”
There was no long Twitter rant, so it seems like it could have been an amicable departure, though she did have this to say:
@BlackBoyMiah Anybody really, I'm just looking for something with the least amount of strings attached.
