Just about all of my gay pals would agree with her to be honest he’s done nothing but bad for gays. To be honest she works with gay people and has openly said she in in support of gay rights. If the newspapers reported every time a gay person including myself made a straight joke there’d be space for nothing else get over it.
So you see nothing at all wrong with her using the word faggot in a derogatory way in public? Being a die-hard fan, as you obviously are, you see no harm in her young followers seeing the word used in that context? Glad you have thought it through so carefully.
The record company sent the right message with things action. I doubt it will deter other bigoted loud mouths in the music biz but it’s definitely sending the right massage.
Would anyone care to translate?
So they are sending the right message that you can go around calling people fags and saying they should kill themselves is acceptable ?
She is intolerant and brain dead and her label still believes she will make them money or she would be gone. She needs a sharp lesson about life as a minority that its hard enough without wishing harm on each other physical and emotional.
If she couldn’t take criticism about her work shes really in the wrong business.
As for straight jokes well people i know don’t like gay jokes so we think about how it makes us feel and think better of it.
Its not like I even like Perez he is to pissy and bitchy and can give negative publicity but he wasn’t in the wrong here and her label has green light her to be as homophobic or intolerant as she wants.
Theres enough of that already in the black rap community and rap in general. Seems like some sort of outreach program for mindless bigots.
Just give it a break, big up Ms Banks…. we still support you as a great artist you are!
Azealia Banks… we love you down here in Central America!!! Faggot? in Spanish “Maricon” not a big deal….
Quelle-fucking-surprise.
PN please get this bad Rupaul impersonator’s face off your site, it’s really offensive looking at it.
Unsurprising – this sort of language is probably as admired, in the world of [c]rap, as wayward or “creative” spelling Azealia, good grief).
*(Azealia
She should be dropped by her label just for being a terrible ‘artist’, let alone for the foul mouth that she has on her!
I’ll remember Polydor from now on.
if any were to call her the N word there would be a public outcry and yet its acceptable for her to use language which I personally find offensive.
She as really show her true colours of what she think about gay people
“I’ve never gotten this much attention for saying n*gg*r.”
Where do you start with this (sigh)? It’s an ugly word and only Black people have license to use it. Accusations of racism usually wouldn’t apply. Spelt “N*gga” the word can even be a term of endearment. Used outside the group it is considered deeply offensive. Even in court it must be replaced by the phrase “the N word” in reported speech. Everyone knows this.
She can certainly understand why her perjorative use of “faggot” offended people. But maybe she’s not really homophobic. Just stupid.
Can you imagine a white singer calling a black artist “a messy nlgger that should go and kill himself” and not being dropped by their label? No, I can’t either.
If she said this about anyone other than Perez I’d be outraged.
All here is one side of the story here? Why is nobody having ago at Perez Hilton? they are both extremely stupid to have an argument over Twitter and both as bad as each other…… they both are as equally at fault for being idiots! if your going to have an argument with somebody you do it face to face or over a telephone not VIA Twitter!
Sounds like she’s the c#nt.
The best thing we can do is to not buy anything from pigs like this (not that anyone was planning to anyway) and when her sh1tty album flops, her label will drop her then. Also, don’t buy anything from Interscope or Polydor until they drop her.
As an out and proud lesbian, I am SICK AND TIRED of these soft a$$ gay people walking around. I’ve never met a group of people so insanely sensitive. You cry every time someone says the word faggot/gay. Well guess what, I use the word. And honestly it doesn’t mean gay man anymore – it means you’re a punk b*tch. Similar to how n*gga doesn’t mean stupid black person but homie. Y’all need to stop with the whining! We are making great strides in this world! But I know people are getting tired of the cry baby, entitled a$$ attitude held by gays. It’s like freedom of speech doesn’t matter to you all! You’re like the word police!!! Had Malcolm X or MLK never had the 1st amendment, they would’ve been silenced! She is bisexual & has made donations & done concerts for LGBT causes. So how is she intolerant? We make straight jokes ALL the time so should straight people be offended & call HRC on us? Lastly, no one has addressed this – what in the f*ck gave Perez the idea to get bold & attack her?
