There’s always a lot of talk about Azealia Banks. From her Twitter beefs to the value of her music to that Playboy interview/photoshoot, seemingly everyone has shared what they think about the Harlem rapper. But what about what she wants?
In Billboard’s latest cover story, the outspoken Harlem rapper talks about — among other things — what she really desires in life, from ruling her own career to her interest in a certain commander-in-chief.
Check out Billboard’s Azealia Banks cover story Friday, April 3. But for now, here’s a sneak peek of five things Azealia Banks really wants.
1. She Wants Control of Her Life
“There was a point where I was questioning everything,” Banks admits. “Am I brushing my teeth at the wrong time? Am I drinking too much? Smoking too much weed? What have I done?'” But that’s changed now: “I don’t turn to anyone for advice. I do what I want.”
2. She Wouldn’t Mind Horizontally Hailing the Commander-In-Chief
The rapper admits she has a crush on Barack Obama. “He’s so fine. Those big-ass white teeth and ears hanging off his head? I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I want to f— the president.'”
Just last month she Banks “I hate everything about this country” and demanding slavery reparations.
Rapper Azealia Banks is well-known for her rage-filled rants about race relations and how Iggy Azalea is a cultural appropriator. For her April “Playboy” cover, she dished on how she hates America—particularly middle America, which she imagines as a swarm of “racist conservative white people who live on their farms.”
“Do you want to leave the U.S.?” asked her interviewer, Rob Tannenbaum.
“Yes! I hate everything about this country,” she replied. “Like, I hate fat white Americans. All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms. Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a racist grandma—that’s really America.”
When asked about why she focuses so much on race, she answered like this:
Because y’all motherf—s still owe me reparations! [laughs] That’s why it’s still about race. Really, the generational effects of Jim Crow and poverty linger on. As long as I have my money, I’m getting the f— out of here and I’m gonna leave y’all to your own devices.
