Rihanna, Azealia Banks Feud: Drake's Ex, '212' Rapper Fight Over Trump’s Immigration Order
Azealia Banks, who is well known for her social media rants is back once again and this time her target is Rihanna. On Sunday, Banks took to Instagram to express her support for President Donald Trump's latest executive order that bans citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for at least the next 90 days.
In her post, the rapper took a dig at Barbados-born singer Rihanna and other celebrities who she believes are using their influence to stir the public. Banks also mentioned Rihanna's immigration status and asked her not to "chastise" the president. "As far as Rihanna (who isn't a citizen, and can't vote) and all the rest of the celebrities who are using their influence to stir the public, you lot really REALLY need to shut up and sit down," Banks wrote on Instagram, reports Billboard.
The social media feud started after Rihanna tweeted her displeasure over the recent executive order by Trump. On Saturday, the 'Umbrella' singer even went on to call Trump an "immoral pig" and expressed disgust over the devastating news and how America is being ruined, reports People.
A couple of hours later, Rihanna shared a black-and-white photo of herself on Instagram. The photo which was apparently in response to Banks' dig on RiRi had the caption, "the face you make when you a immigrant #stayawayfomthechickens #iheartnuggets #saveourhens." After some time, Rihanna shared another photo of a person covering their face with the American flag. In response, Banks reposted the photo Rihanna had uploaded and claimed that it was a direct hit at her.
Later Banks, who is best known for her 2014 hit "212", continued her ranting with a video in which she begged Rihanna to stop being stupid and read some books. In another video, which was captioned with a knife emoji, Banks offers to make Rihanna some chicken nuggets as well.
