After clearing her issues earlier this year with iggy Azealia, azealia banks attacks M.I.A

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday (Aug. 29), Banks went on a racially-charged tirade against her new target. “Mia be lowkey trying to take credit for black culture and the shit is annoying. She’s like clearly quite anti-black,” she tweeted. “I don’t get her points a lot of the time it’s like she came up in hip-hop then wants to be like what about my people but tries to discredit. It’s always like why do you care about blacks and not Indians when blacks took this from my culture. She stay trying to compare struggles. When it’s like honey… just spit your rhyme.”

This comes on the heels of a lengthy M.I.A. post about Diplo on Instagram. “It’s important you don’t see me as a Iil thing diplo discovered because I’m a brown woman,” she wrote. “and this is the first story of a brown female musician who smashed it for the first time . That didn’t happen because I accidentally walked passed diplo.”

When a Twitter user pointed out that M.I.A. relied on “black sounds like everyone else,” she responded: “I came right after the 90s early 2000s success of Indian riddim in dancehall/hip hop!Missy timberland /big pimpin coolie riddim sounds ta.”

M.I.A. later received criticism for tweeting that the “concept of carnival itself is frm ancient Hindu tradition whr gods r celebrate paraded to sounds of drums/music around the town on floats.” She later corrected this tweet with: “The concept of ‘carnival’ ALSO comes from ancient Indian culture that has sounds of drums and instruments.”
