Be it subtle hints hidden in lyrics or outright diss tracks, those who follow the personal lives of their favorite musicians are bound to be entertained.

When Beyoncé unveiled the American flag-bearing cover of her latest album, Act ii: Cowboy Carter, some heralded the imagery as a “reclamation” of the flag’s symbolism, while others pointed to its connection to Texas’ Black Cowboys and Rodeo culture. Others, however, saw the flag as a symbol of America’s history of racism and imperialism, particularly fraught with the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The sentiment trails the outrage stoked by her silence on “Break My Soul” being adopted as a war cry by pro-Idf Israelis in December.

John Lennon was a musical genius, but he said plenty of ridiculous things, such as that he wrote the first feminist song. No, he didn’t. More than that, it’s highly dubious that the song in question even counts as a feminist song because of its offensive lyrics.
John Lennon wrote the most offensive feminist song ever
The book All We Are Saying: The Last Major Interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono features an interview from 1980. In it, John explained the title of his most controversial solo song: “Woman Is the N***** of the World.” “That’s something Yoko said in 1968 in an interview,” he said. “It was just such a powerful statement, a few years later I turned it into a song. So it’s her title and my song.

King Princess (aka Mikaela Straus) opened up about her experience meeting Christina Aguilera in the recording studio, and she said that it was an example of an encounter with a “mean” pop star.
The 25-year-old musician, best known for her breakout single “1950,” recently appeared on the Queer the Music podcast.
During her interview, she expressed appreciation for pop girls who aren’t afraid of getting a little nasty. When asked to provide an example, she readily recalled her encounter with Christina, which left a lasting impression.

King Princess explained that she was working in Mark Ronson‘s studio with a friend when Christina came in for her scheduled session.

Since she always goes for the headshot, Azealia Banks plainly said The Beatles suck when that wasn’t even the topic at hand. She prefers another 1960s band to the Fab Four. Interestingly, John Lennon himself wasn’t always the biggest Beatles fan.
Azealia Banks hates The Beatles but loves 1 John Lennon song
During a 2021 interview with Rolling Stone, Banks was asked her opinion of cancel culture. She responded with a non sequitur: “By the way, I think The Beatles suck.”
The reporter was confused by the out-of-left-field pronouncement. “I said, ‘By the way, I think The Beatles suck,'” Banks reiterated. “I’m a Beach Boys girl,” she explained. Her comment was likely a reference to the fact that The Beatles and The Beach Boys were chart rivals during the mid-1960s. Because the two groups delved into the worlds of both bubblegum pop and psychedelic rock, they are often compared to each other.

Rapper Azealia Banks Praises Donald Trump, Disses Ron DeSantis & Says Free Speech Is ‘For White Men’
Controversial rapper Azealia Banks made wild comments about cancel culture, Donald Trump and the rise of AI technology.
Banks said that she thinks the rapid growth in technology is making her paranoid, particularly the prevalence of AI.
Banks said the technological advancements convinced her into “absolutely needing a gun,” believing she feels “way safer” since moving to Miami from Los Angeles.
Gun rights are one reason why Banks is supporting Trump’s 2024 run. She also admires the former president’s humor and attitude.
“He’s just f— funny. He’s been through how many bankruptcies? How many wives? How many television shows? Seriously, nothing can take him down,” she told The Evening Standard.
Despite her move to Florida, she did not have kind words for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), mocking his feud with the Disney corporation.

Doechii isn't trying to convince the world of her star power. As she explains to Popsugar, "I don't usually think about that." The 24-year-old Tampa, Fl, rapper isn't concerned with "setting intentions" with her music, either. That's why, so far, she's seamlessly tapped into different lanes of hip-hop without holding herself to a specific label. Her boom-bap, autobiographical breakthrough hit "Yucky Blucky Fruitcake" sounds nothing like the upbeat, airy rhymes delivered on her 2022 single "Persuasive." The same could be said for the rest of her multifaceted discography. And the fun of that leaves her little time to cater to her fans' every whim and want - she's too busy making the music they need.
"It's up for them to have that," Doechii says, unconcerned with fans' expectations. "However the art is interpreted, that's how it's interpreted. All I know is how I want them to feel."
Doechii's always been "super imaginative" with her art.

In less than a month after romance rumors swirled, Taylor Swift and Matty Healy have broken up.
Although their relationship was never confirmed, they have been spotted holding hands and kissing. Healy was also seen attending the Grammy winner’s concert with her father, Scott Swift. He had also previously attended other shows of her Eras Tour in Nashville.
After hearing news of her dating Healy, many of Swift’s fans distanced themselves from the pop star. The 1975 frontman had previously made racist and fatphobic comments. Some of his comments were about Ice Spice, who Swift recently invited to perform with her in New Jersey.
In addition to her fans, fellow music artist Azealia Banks warned Swift just last week about dating the British singer.

Ja'Tovia Gary. Photograph by Ciara Elle Bryant. Image courtesy of the artist.Despite being one of the most prolific American authors of the last century, Toni Morrison’s adaptations have routinely been labeled as inadequate to the original text. Deeply rich in prose with an intimate fondness of colloquialism, Morrison’s oeuvre offers an acceptance to “transfigure the complexity and wealth of Afro-American culture into a language worthy of the culture.” It’s only justified that Morrison’s innovation in language be reconjured in the cinematic form by one who acknowledges its chimeric qualities. In Quiet as It’s Kept, the latest film by Ja’Tovia Gary, the director explores the magic and might of Morrison’s 1970 debut novel, The Bluest Eye, and refuses the label of adaptation. Exploring themes of African spirituality, desirability, internet culture, and visceral motifs that are rendered into its literal celluloid fabric, Quiet as It...

Pink Floyd have reinvented their iconic logo in celebration of the 50th anniversary of their hit album The Dark Side of the Moon, much to the chagrin of a portion of their fanbase.
On Thursday (19 January), the British rock band announced the forthcoming release of a remastered deluxe box set of their popular 1973 studio record.
To commemorate the milestone, Pink Floyd reimagined their original well-known symbol: a beam of light passing through a prism, resulting in a rainbow beam.
While the new temporary graphic retained the original’s triangular prism, it replaced the beam of light with the number 50 and the zero filled in with a rainbow.
After the band swapped their Facebook page’s profile photo to the updated logo, a sect of their listeners angrily disputed the change, specifically angered by the rainbow.

Azealia Banks has rebuked Kanye West for his treatment of his daughters and his recent antisemitic outbursts.

West has also criticised daughter North’s presence on social media on a number of occasions in the past.
“Just because you can’t get attention from Kim Kardashian, you turn it on your f***ing daughter,” Banks said.
“Kanye, you’re an abusive a**hole and you’re a p**** for picking on that little-a** girl. You are the last person we need to hear from about Black fatherhood and the Black family unit.”

The first trailer for the new sci-fi movie 65 has arrived – and Adam Driver fans are ecstatic.
The movie is set 65 million years in the past, and stars Driver as a spacecraft pilot named Mills who realises that he and a child, Koa (Ariana Greenblatt), are the only two survivors of a crash on Earth.
Mills and Koa end up fighting dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures as they try to return home to their own planet.
In the trailer, Mills can be seen telling Koa: “You need to be quiet – and move. You and I are going to get home.”
People are very excited indeed. “Nobody talk to me about a single damn thing unless it’s about Adam Driver firing a very large gun at a Tyrannosaurus rex,” tweeted one fan.
“Dinosaurs, outer space, scruffy girldad Adam Driver in a Henley… they made this for me,” added another.

Azealia Banks, who is currently on tour in Australia, has vowed she will never return to perform in the country again.
The singer and rapper cancelled her Tuesday 13 December show in Brisbane hours before she was due to appear on stage, saying in an Instagram video that a past gig in the city was “the most racist, most demoralising experience of my f***ing life”.
Banks had been set to perform in both Brisbane and Melbourne earlier this week, but both concerts were postponed due to “visa issues”. She performed in Sydney on Sunday night (11 December) and her Melbourne show has been rescheduled for this Saturday (17 December).
“I’m so sorry you guys – actually I’m not sorry – but listen: last time I was in Brisbane and y’all threw s*** on the stage and damn near almost f***ing hit me in the face with a f***ing bottle...

Elon Musk says Twitter will enact a general amnesty for suspended accounts next week.
The billionaire continued his ad hoc strategy of making policy by Twitter poll, asking users on Wednesday, “Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?” He did not specify which laws.
A majority (72 percent) of the 3.1 million users voted in favor of the amnesty for blocked accounts, a group that includes former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, former Trump advisors Steve Bannon and Roger Stone, right wing writer Milo Yiannopoulos, singer Azealia Banks, pharma bro Martin Shkreli and neo-fascist group the Proud Boys.
“The people have spoken,” Musk tweeted when the poll had ended. “Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” he tweeted, using the Latin phrase that means “the voice of...

Surprising almost no one except perhaps Kyrie Irving’s crisis PR team, Saturday Night Live voted tonight for the midterm election in its last cold open before Tuesday’s balloting.
“My fellow Americans, this Tuesday, our midterm election will determine the fate of our democracy and let’s just say Big Yikes!” proclaimed James Austin Johnson as President Joe Biden. “I guess the Democrats’ message just isn’t getting through,” the SNL cast featured player added in a mocking replication of Potus’ big Union Station speech of earlier this week as polls show the Big Lie-dominated GOP looking to take back the House and maybe even the Senate.
“Folks, I’m trying like Hell, I promise,” the comedian went on to says as the sometimes disoriented 79-year-old Biden. “I’m on the Peloton every morning tempting fate.”

Zoë Kravitz is in her “High Fidelity” era and knows it all too well.
The “Pussy Island” writer/director co-penned two songs for Taylor Swift’s upcoming album “Midnights,” titled “Karma” and “Lavender Haze.” The 13-track album is set to be released October 21, with the full song list revealed October 18 along with the co-writers. Swift co-wrote 11 out of the 13 songs with Jack Antonoff, plus Lana Del Rey for “Snow on the Beach.” The song “Vigilante Shit” is the sole track Swift alone wrote.
Kravitz is the frontwoman of R&b electropop duo Lolawolf, which released albums in 2014 and 2020, and has opened for Lily Allen, Azealia Banks, Warpaint, and Miley Cyrus.
Swift recently shared that “Lavender Haze,” which Kravitz also co-wrote, was inspired by a phrase Swift learned watching “Mad Men.”

Azealia Banks cut short her disastrous headlining set at Miami’s Wynwood Pride Music Festival early Saturday morning, drawing the ire of attendees before a dramatic, mic-tossing exit.
Video from the performance shows Banks — who reportedly showed up onstage over two hours after the scheduled set time — repeatedly telling concertgoers “I’m really not happy to be here” and “I really don’t wanna fucking be here.” At that point, Banks had only performed a handful of songs.
After arriving hours late to perform at Wynwood Pride, headliner Azealia Banks stops performing during her set.

Remember Cara Delevingne, of Taylor Swift #girlsquad and Ashley Benson sex swing-shopping fame? Over the past week, the model-turned-actress-question-mark, who is perhaps best known for her “Shane from The L Word”-esque reputation in Hollywood (she’s dated Benson and St. Vincent, among others, and has been tied to numerous other models and pop starlets), has made a resurgence on social media, and not at all for good reasons.

It’s hard to scroll through TikTok these days without being confronted by the sound of Julia Fox’s yassified pronunciation of her breakthrough film Uncut Gems. Her appearance on the podcast Call Her Daddy has prompted a new level of virality for the actress, New York City personality and solid candidate for most meme-able person of 2022.
In the appearance, host Alex Cooper asks Fox if she considers herself to be Kanye West’s “muse.” At the time, the pair were engaging in a very public and ridiculously over-the-top tryst that has since ended.

Julia Fox has beef with Azealia Banks. Just a day after E! News exclusively revealed that the Uncut Gems breakout had split with Kanye "Ye" West following a whirlwind romance, Azealia shared some heated words about the pair's short-lived relationship, claiming that it was a "weak PR stunt." In several Instagram Story posts shared on Feb. 15, the "212" rapper alleged Ye had broken up with Julia because she was a "liability," claiming she "lacked any real motherly instinct." Azealia also brought up Julia's past struggles with addiction in the posts, prompting the Forbidden Fruits podcast host to fire back and defend...

Shamir starts subverting expectations from the very first crackles of “Gay Agenda,” the opener from his new album Heterosexuality. Despite the declarative, banner-like brightness the title suggests, “Gay Agenda” smolders with mounting intensity as Shamir battles layers of industrial fuzz and reverb. The production is a threat, constantly on the verge of overpowering him. Yet the Philly-based multi-hyphenate wins out, his hyper-specific falsetto breaking to the forefront: “You’re just stuck in the box that was made for me,” he sings. “And you’re mad I got out and I’m living free.

More than a year after she was first sued for stalking and defamation by her ex-manager, Azealia Banks has responded with a cross-complaint accusing the Prospect Park label boss of posing as a “romantic suitor” to “steal” from her.

Greg Tate, one of the most incisive, insightful, and influential cultural critics of the past 35 years, has died. His publisher Duke University Press confirmed the author’s death to Rolling Stone, though a cause of death was not confirmed.
“Hard to explain the impact that Flyboy in the Buttermilk had on a whole generation of young writers and critics who read every page of it like scripture,” The New Yorker’s Jelani Cobb wrote on Twitter, aptly summing up the effect that Tate’s iconic 1992 essay collection had on the world.

It’s fitting that Azealia Banks, a perennial magnet for both warranted and unwarranted controversy, has leaned into making music for the club. If her years in the public eye have proven anything, it’s that she’s too raw for the bright lights of pop fame. Her smattering of singles since the release of her 2014 debut, Broke With Expensive Taste, recoiled from the spotlight, leaning into the dark corners of the dance floor where you can escape into fantasy. “Escapades” and “Anna Wintour,” two songs meant to herald a resurgence for the musician,...

Dave Chappelle has dropped a surprise new special for free on Netflix’s comedy YouTube page titled “8:46,” a reference to the amount of time Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd’s neck before killing him. The comedian performed the special on June 6 in Yellow Springs, Ohio, for a socially-distanced audience that all wore masks in an outdoor concert setup. Chappelle noted during the set, “This is like the first concert in North America since all this shit happened, so like it or not, it’s history. It’s going to be in the books.”
Given its title, much of Chappelle’s “8:46″ special centers around the death of George Floyd and the international protests that have taken place as a result. The comedian praised protestors for standing up against police brutality but added, “It’s hard to figure out what to say about George Floyd,...

When Azealia Banks first hit the scene in the late 2000s, she initially became known for her music. Her unique style of rap set her apart from other artists in the industry. Many believed that she would be the next big female artist to come out of New York City. However, in more recent years, less focus has been given to her music, and Banks has become more well-known for her outspoken personality. Unfortunately though, sharing her opinion hasn’t always worked in her favor. Throughout the music and online communities, she is often considered to be somewhat of a troll,

Doja Cat turned heads last month with the colorful, mischievous video to “Boss Bitch,” her contribution to the soundtrack of the new Harley Quinn movie Birds of Prey. Instead of your average, less-than-compelling soundtrack single, “Boss Bitch” was a club track that called to mind similar bops from Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks (to the point where Banks even addressed the single and gave it her blessing on Instagram). While some original soundtrack songs feel like cutting room leftovers, “Boss Bitch” quickly established itself as a single in its own right.
