Azealia Banks' Soundcloud suspended amid claims of copyright infringement
This is how Broke With Expensive Taste dies: not with a bang(er), but a whimper. Azealia Banks has had her Soundcloud terminated, losing 2 million hard-earned followers in the process. The account was ended after Banks was served her third copyright notice for "Fuck Up The Fun" from her 2012 mixtape Fantasea.
So I got a third copyright infringement on my soundcloud via "fuck up the fun" and they terminated my account. All 2million followers, gone.

Of course, the Queen of Twitter Hate let herself open to attack with this one...
@AZEALIABANKS oh no. Where will I go when I wanna hear garbage now?

...and at least one fan had the drive to say what we are all thinking.
@AZEALIABANKSgirl you cursed.

It's strange that a copyright infringement claim would come two years after the release of a widely publicized release, but Banks hasn't been doing herself any favors in the karma department. She just restarted her beef with Lady Gaga, publicly begged to be released from her major label deal and attacked the father of Lily Allen's children.
