Azealia Banks has taken to social media to share her opinion on Doja Cat. Doja just released her new single, "Attention," which listeners suspect could kick off her highly-anticipated next project. Banks, however, has revealed that she isn't a huge fan of the "Woman" songstress, even going on to bash Kendrick Lamar.
"I really be wanting to like Doja's music but it's all just sooo try hard," she began her Instagram rant. "Her first album was actually cool as hell," she says, calling it "her own authentic art voice." She continues, claiming Doja Cat "sounds like a white girl that grew up in a house." "It's not giving that pissy stairwell / bacon egg and cheese / vanilla Dutch nyc energy she's reaching for," Banks says, adding that California rap is "purposefully inoffensive and caters to paper shoe Tom and matted hair Abigail."
Azealia Banks Calls Doja's Music "NYC WANNABE Levels Of Boring"
Banks continued to tear into Doja, saying "Her approach to trying to conceptualize an authentic rap record is giving angel haze NYC WANNABE levels of boring rippity rap/ cheesy soho whiteboy hypebeast circa '06." "She's giving me those weird fka twigs biracial girl identity crisis vibes," she claims. Banks then called Kendrick Lamar "MAD overrated and extremely complacent." She further accused the rapper of having "white ghostwriters writing about the black struggle n sh*t."
Though Banks' hot take on Doja may be somewhat shocking, many aren't surprised by the rant. She's been known to go in on her peers on social media, airing her various feuds. Recently, she used Jacky Oh's death as an opportunity to call out the former Wild 'N Out star's longtime partner, DC Young Fly. “DC Young Fly spent years disguising his own deeply rooted hatred of self as jokes pointed at women’s beauty,” she wrote, claiming “That [Jacky Oh] girl must have been so deeply insecure about herself.” She also recently called out The 1975's Matty Healy for making fun of Ice Spice. Banks called him "so obviously weak in the knees, thin-jawed, and drug addicted that it’s easy to catch his crusty a*s lackin’." She added, "The 1975 is on nobody’s radar babe, maybe fat emo teenagers but no we are not checkin’ for you boo."
