Rihanna and Azealia Banks feud gets nasty as they tweet each other’s phone numbers to fans

AZEALIA Banks has never been one to shy away from very public feuds — but her latest target might be the toughest one yet after she butted heads with superstar Rihanna.

The all-out war between the pair started after Azealia took exception to celebrities speaking out against Donald Trump’s “Muslim ban,” reports The Sun.

Rihanna proved to be the final straw for Banks, after she wrote: “Disgusted! The news is devastating! America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!”

Banks responded with: “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 need to shut up and sit down.

“Stop chastising the president. It’s stupid and pathetic to watch. All of these confused people confuse other confused people.”

The pair then exchanged a heated debate over Instagram photos and comments, with Rihanna posting a pouty selfie and responding to a video where Banks suggested she had been killing chickens for three years as part of ritual sacrifices.

She added alongside the picture: “The face you make when you a immigrant #stayawayfromthechickens #iheartnuggets #saveourhens.”

However, Banks then took the feud to a whole new level, and posted a phone number she claims to be Rihanna’s on social media with the damning caption: “Bombs away!”

Rihanna then posted a screen shot of a series of texts she received accusing her of being a drug and sex addict.

They read: “I don’t have to do anything to you miss. Beyonce is already working heavy on you. Ever think to stop and think that’s why you have a drug and sex addiction? Lol girlie. Best of luck.”

It is assumed that the number is Banks’ and the comment was posted in retaliation.

The numbers have now been disconnected and the posts have since been removed.

Banks has become more known for her public spats than her music over the past year.

Her first spat came after she went on a foul-mouth tirade against Zayn Malik on Twitter — causing her account to be suspended for its hate-filled language.

In the posts, she targeted a series of racist and homophobic messages at the singer, and branded him a “curry-scented b***h” and “f****t”.

She then responded to the outrage with a statement reading: “I’m seriously tired of people’s feelings.

“I’m tired of seeing their overly sensitive reactions and responses to everything.

“I’m tired of having everything I say or do be monitored and I’m tired of being told how I should be behaving.”

She did however later send out her “deepest apologies” for the outburst and said: “Employing racial/sexual slurs/stereotypes in attempts to make fun or degrade another person or group is absolutely unacceptable and is not fair or fun for anyone.

“Allowing my anger to get the best of me, I’ve managed to insult millions of people without a reason.”

In October last year, Banks was kicked out of a Beverly Hills hotel room bash hosted by Russell Crowe.

The singer told The Sun that Crowe smoked marijuana and drank a cocktail of vodka, whisky and moonshine before choking, spitting and calling her a “n****r” after she rejected his advances.

But the actor’s inner circle denied he is a racist and insisted Banks was the one who repeatedly used the N-word.

And they say he was forced to grab Banks in a bear hug and take her out of a party in his hotel room after she threatened to stab him and a female guest with a glass.

To add to the list of A-list foes, she also branded Australian singer Sia a “pompous white bitch” after Sia labelled her chicken sacrifice video — which features Banks in a blood and feather stained room — as “the wackiest s*** I’ve ever heard”.

A furious Banks responded: “HAVE SOME F***ING RESPECT FOR MY F***ING TRADITIONAL AFRICAN RELIGION YOU POMPOUS WHITE B***H.”
