Perhaps a bit bored after issuing a cease-and-desist to Matty Healy, Azealia Banks attempted to get back into it with one of her most famous opps Grimes.
The mid-off was nearly reignited after a Twitter X user posted an edited still from Wicked, depicting Banks as Elphaba and Grimes as Glinda. To which Grimes replied, "Hate to say it but wouldve [sic] been kinda lit."
In her typical fashion, Banks saw this as shade, and tried to drag them back into a keyboard war by dragging her kids with Elon Musk into it. "@Grimezsz girl the way u are still trying to hold out on some weird ass innocent bullshit years later after u got dumped, cheated on, ur kids kidnapped and still trying to paint me like the villian and act like ur above me when ur getting sonned by elons secretary [sic]," she posted.
She continued: "... ur the one that literally did not make the fucking music and Elon is the one who harvested ur eggs and took a picture of your c section is PEAK white female delusion. Get over urself ho ... I know you wish you could be my bestie but bitch, it's fucking boring as hell. Let it go."
Banks threaded a few more posts of the same, including a dig about Grimes still being "the same dirty lil white bitch from McGill that drinks tap water and eats Spaghetti."
Grimes didn't fall for the bait, replying: "It's just a funny joke bro. not trying to paint u as a villain [sic]." After clarifying that she was the one who left Musk, and that one of her children was sleeping beside her, she ended with "Ur insanely talented. even after all this, I want u to win. god bless Mlady [sic]."
The pair's beef dates back to a collaboration attempt in 2018, when Grimes allegedly stood Banks up at Musk's house. This led to them both being subpoenaed by Tesla investors, a diss track and a slew of quotable social media posts, of course.
