Rihanna And Azealia Banks Feud Over Trump’s Muslim Ban
Rihanna participated in the Women’s March in New York last weekend, and yesterday, she took to Twitter to condemn Donald Trump’s executive order to ban citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States:
Disgusted! The news is devastating! America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!
— Rihanna (@rihanna) January 29, 2017
Of course, expert political analyst and Trump supporter Azealia Banks just had to chime in with her own, deeply misguided thoughts about the Muslim ban. And because she’s still banned from Twitter, she wrote a series of Instagram posts defending the order and telling Rihanna to “shut up and sit down.”
Rihanna chose to respond with a little subtweet:
Banks, never one for subtlety, chose to respond with a bunch of disgusting, hateful garbage:
And things pretty much just went on from there.
I think it might be time for another much-needed Rihanna break.
UPDATE: According to E!, “Banks responded with several more Instagram posts, including two audio recordings arguing with Rihanna about chicken and the screen shot of the pop star’s alleged phone number.” The number’s now disconnected, and Banks deleted her posts.
