Within a recent Billboard feature, Banks revealed her sexual interest in President Barack Obama.

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.'” (Billboard)

In her recent Playboy feature, Banks talked about her admiration for music mogul Jay Z.

On whose career she wants to emulate:Jay Z. That’s the only person I have my eye set on. The race thing always comes up, but I want to get there being very black and proud and boisterous about it. You get what I mean? A lot of times when you’re a black woman and you’re proud, that’s why people don’t like you. In American society, the game is to be a nonthreatening black person. That’s why you have Pharrell or Kendrick Lamar saying, ‘How can we expect people to respect us if we don’t respect ourselves?’ He’s playing that nonthreatening black man sh*t, and that gets all the white soccer moms going, ‘We love him.’ Even Kanye West plays a little bit of that game—‘Please accept me, white world.’ Jay Z hasn’t played any of those games, and that’s what I like.” (Playboy)

  1. This chick gets on my nerves. This rap chicks content are just as messed up as the dudes. Plus doesn’t she hate black men???? lol. She just has issues.

  2. Mainly cause black dudes be obsessed and kissing white bitches ass. Buncha uncle tom ass muthafuckaz.

    • You are an idiot. That hope is ugly as bell and her music is trash. It has nothing to do with race. Shut your dumb ass up

  3. I was ready to go in for her until I seen the post about black men doing things and getting away! To top it off you tried to start shyt with Erykah Badu. You did it for your career already, just kill yourself. Doing too much for your 15 minutes.

  4. bitch spends more ti,e complaining bout shit & dissing others instead of worrying about not making crappy records & thinks its everyone les fault that she sucks

  5. Just cause you make videos doesn’t mean anybody wants to see them. It also doesn’t mean that the music is good

  6. shorty not wrong while i cant tell you that she is not more of the same…she is just as wack as any other female rapper doing on a big scale…they all suck sorry but not sorry Dej Loaf angel haze nicki iggy all hot garbage in terms of rap…now if i judge it as pop different story…i will even say they make decent music but when it come to hip hop the only female rappers i can bare off top are missy and the brat…banks is not the best but she got her own style and she persistent plus she dont back down…
