Azealia Banks, Disclosure Beef: 'Broke With Expensive Taste' Collaboration Nixed

Noted Twitter beefer and sometimes halway decent rapper Azealia Banks has once again screwed the pooch on another Broke With Expensive Taste collaboration. The "212" (remember that?) rapper just nixed her work with British DJ duo Disclosure. 

"I did something with Disclosure but they were, like, really rude in an interview, so I canned it," Banks told AU Review. "I might leak it, though. And to be honest, I've got better stuff on my record... It can be an f-side. A fuck-you side."

In the interview in question, Disclosure merely attempted to temper expectations (which Banks set pretty high, calling it the "greatest studio session EVAR") by revealing that the track hadn't actually been made yet.

"We don't have a song with her yet. We've met her once. I think she's kind of taken to Twitter quite heavily with the fact that she's meeting with us. And people now think that we've made the greatest song of all time, and it doesn't even actually have a chorus yet," they said.

"Her Twitter was just like, in capital letters, "I'm going into the studio with Disclosure to make the greatest studio session of all time oh my god god god god god god", and that got retweeted 2000 times. We don't usually mention when we go into the studio with someone. All these blogs think we've now made a masterpiece, but really, we just sat there eating sushi." 

Now, Disclosure are responding to the snub by Banks.

"I don't give a damn if she leaks it. We're actually terrible, terrible people," Howard Lawrence said on an Australian radio show. "She thought we were rude in that interview, but we apologized and everything. It didn't seem to matter that we apologized ... We made the beat on the way there in the car, so I don't give a damn if she uses it. Whatever. Maybe when I said [in the interview] that she's 'taken to it quite heavily', it came across as rude - but what I meant was that whenever we've worked with anyone in the past, we just keep it secret. Because if nothing comes of the session, nobody's disappointed. But if you build all the hype before, then you have to deliver an amazing song." 

Broke With Expensive Taste hits stores eventually, maybe.
