Things Just Got Super Ugly In The Feud Between Rihanna And Azealia Banks
Play nice, gals.
Strap yourself in guys, because the feud between Rihanna and Azealia Banks has taken a turn for the worse, and you’ll need to pay attention to follow its numerous twists and turns.
It all kicked off between the two singers when Rihanna made her feelings about Trump’s immigration ban, a block that would stop refugees from muslim majority countries entering the US, known on Twitter.
Disgusted! The news is devastating! America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!

“Disgusted! The news is devastating! America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!” the singer wrote.
Not one to keep quiet, Azealia Banks, who has had beef with Rihanna in the past, then responded to Rihanna’s tweet.
“As far as Rihanna (who isn’t a citizen and can’t vote) and all the rest of the celebrities who are using their influence to stir the public [are concerned], you lot really, REALLY need to shut up and sit down,” she wrote in a now-deleted post.
“Stop chastising the president. It’s stupid and pathetic to watch,” she added. “All of these confused people confuse other confused people. Hoping the president fails is like getting on an airplane and hoping the pilot crashes.”
Of course, the harsh exchange of words didn’t end there.
Nope, instead RiRi took to Instagram with a pouty selfie captioned “the face you make when you a immigrant #stayawayfromthechickens #iheartnuggets #saveourhens”, likely referencing Azealia’s controversial video last month where she claimed to sacrifice chickens.
the face you make when you a immigrant ?? #stayawayfromthechickens #iheartnuggets #saveourhens.

Then things got nasty. Really, really nasty.
Rihanna updated her profile picture to a screenshot of a text message from Azealia claiming that she’d been overshadowed by Beyoncé.
RiRi didn’t hide Azealia’s phone number in the post either, and Azealia responded with this:
#azealiabanks posts #rihanna’s number on Instagram

Yep, she shared Rihanna’s phone number with the entire world. Yeesh.
Not surprisingly, both of the singers’ phone numbers have apparently been cut off and they’ve removed their shady posts from their social media.
Still, something tells us this feud is far from over.
