New York hip-hop artist Azealia Banks is reportedly falling back on her deal with rap veteran RZA following a recent altercation with Hollywood star Russell Crowe.

According to reports, Banks no longer wants to join forces with RZA in light of what went down last weekend.

Sources close to Banks tell TMZ … she’d been negotiating a deal to sign with RZA’s record label for the past 3 weeks. We’re told RZA’s rep called her this week about closing the deal, and she made it clear … the deal is OFF. RZA — who invited Azealia to the party — doesn’t seem to be losing any sleep over it. His camp insists she’s “full of it” when it comes to the events in Crowe’s suite, and she was squarely in the wrong. (TMZ)

In a new interview, Banks recalled her horrific experience and how she became a victim at Crowe’s recent Los Angeles hotel party.

Now Azealia, 25, has told The Sun of 52-year-old Aussie Russell: “I think he’s a racist, misogynist pig. “This is a stain on me. My ­femininity feels stained. I feel stained as a woman, I feel mishandled, I feel mistreated, I feel dirty. I feel very f***ing low.” Azealia said: “Russell had moonshine on the table, and then Russell calls for whisky, so then they just start mixing them up. (The Sun)

Reports this week revealed Banks had sought out law enforcement’s help in the Crowe altercation’s aftermath.

The Russell Crowe-Azealia Banks feud is now in the hands of police after the rapper filed a battery report over their fight in his hotel suite. Sources connected to the case tell us … Azealia went to Bev Hills PD Sunday afternoon after demanding Russell apologize for the incident, where he physically removed her from the room. We’re told Crowe’s reps said he wouldn’t say sorry, because he insists he did nothing wrong. (TMZ)

Last weekend, Banks revealed what happened in a now-deleted Facebook post.

  1. This broad and full of it seems about right tbh.  I would not doubt if she was acting up being her rants are always full of ignorance and she seems like a loud obnoxious idiot to say the least.
