Banks has accused RuPaul of plagiarizing her song "The Big Big Beat" on his recent single "Call Me Mother."
After announcing that she had successfully got "Call Me Mother" removed from Spotify, Banks continued to denounce RuPaul on Twitter.
"You will not step on my little black girl toes bitch," she wrote. "You will take your razor bumps and pumps to the nearest laser hair removal clinic and seethe."
Lol I got rupauls ripoff of the big big beat .. "call me mother" removed. You will not step on my little black girl toes bitch. You will take your razor bumps and pumps to the nearest laser hair removal clinic and seethe. @RuPaul BYE UGLY! đđœ

Banks later continued her diatribe against RuPaul, complaining that he had only reached out to her after she filed plagiarism claims.
"But where was that energy when you were stealing my work and using me as inspiration for your campy ass television show?" Banks continued. "I'm disappointed in him first and foremost as a black person. He was supposed to have my back. But he went with the popular white gay sentiment and felt like I was disposable enough to steal from and discard. Fuck him."
Lol now that I'm filing claims RuPaul wants to reach out. But where was that energy when you were stealing my work and using me as inspiration for your campy ass television show? I'm disappointed in him first and foremost as a black person. He was supposed to have my back

Her beef with RuPaul didn't stop there. Banks went on to criticize RuPaul's Drag Race for the host's recent controversial remarks about allowing trans women to compete on the show.
Following massive backlash, RuPaul apologized for his comments and said, "In the 10 years we've been casting Drag Race, the only thing we've ever screened for is charisma uniqueness nerve and talent."
Each morning I pray to set aside everything I THINK I know, so I may have an open mind and a new experience. I understand and regret the hurt I have caused. The trans community are heroes of our shared LGBTQ movement. You are my teachers. pic.twitter.com/80Qi2halN2

All I want is the song down doofus. Don't project your dreams of being a drag race contestant on me honey. https://t.co/rJEDKDjoks

RuPaul and drag race are super duper unfashionable. It's not what the cool kids are into. I would prefer to disassociate
â CHEAPY XO (@cheapyxo) June 3, 2018
The cool gays don't collab with ppl like RuPaul LMFAO. RuPaul's brand of whitewashed drag queen pagentry is late. He's for middle America. I'm for the fashion houses. He can't sit with me
â CHEAPY XO (@cheapyxo) June 3, 2018
Y'all keep trying to make drag culture important in my world and I keep telling you to keep it. honestly. I really don't care to see men in wigs and dresses. Rather watch muscle masc gays dance to 212 or admire some beautiful trans girl's beauty. Not here 4 the razor bumpsnpumps https://t.co/kgwNNCbf71

And that's why ru won't let the trans girls in because she knows they will SLAY the house down.

if a woman wants to be a drag queen she can. I dunno what y'all boys keep talm bout - women can't be drag queens. If women can't be drag queens then neither can you. You can't be a caricature of a woman and then try to disinclude her. Ridiculous https://t.co/itdII0QgkR
â CHEAPY XO (@cheapyxo) June 3, 2018
Y'all sit up here and beg for respect and inclusivity then turn around and tell others they can't be included. You want your feminity to be respected but won't allow an actual woman to participate in any gay male affairs. Makes no sense

But I do enjoy violet chachki and the bald headed one. Violet is really dope. I like Aja and Shea too but I like them via social media, mutual friends and personal interaction seeing them separate from that show. I respect anyone who respects me
â CHEAPY XO (@cheapyxo) June 3, 2018
Actual women are anyone who identifies as a woman regardless of what's in their panties. Cis and trans women are ACTUAL WOMEN. Not men in women's clothes. Don't try me https://t.co/QYrZAb1Vd0
â CHEAPY XO (@cheapyxo) June 3, 2018
Cis and Trans women are barred from being contestants on the show.
