Harlem Rapper, Azealia Banks recently guest starred on Nick Cannon’s comedy improv show Wild ‘N Out, where she claims she was bombarded by cast members with colorist jokes & remarks. The rapper took to instagram to explain that she was under the impression that she was only there to perform, not to partake in the show’s famous freestyle battle [where the object of the segment is for each team to go hard at eachother with offensive jokes while rapping].

Azealia took to Instagram to describe her experience in detail, plus take a few jabs at some of the cast and crew herself. Part of her Instagram caption read “I was to sing my song and go home. I show up and some guy who’s darker than me starts calling me ugly and being colorist, then all of a sudden a choir of the most disgustingly basic, local, cattle call “urban” pseudo comedic “FAT BECause You sit in a chair all day” greasy soul food induced south of the mason Dixon ,self hatred. Ass It#backwards, post-Jim crow , post traumatic slave disorder true self esteem less, Ward of the state CLOWNS “. What do you think of what the Harlem Rapper had to say? Check out her full quote below.

“I did Wildin’ out today. There were tons of pre-planned colorist jokes and of course …. cry baby cried. Some little scrawny black Atlanta twink was prepared for me. They planned this – hit me on short notice, told me I didn’t have to participate in the coon ass freestyle battles ,(not my style) and I was to sing my song and go home. I show up and some guy who’s darker than me starts calling me ugly and being colorist, then all of a sudden a choir of the most disgustingly basic, local, cattle call “urban” pseudo comedic “FAT BECause You sit in a chair all day” greasy soul food induced south of the mason Dixon ,self hatred. Ass It#backwards, post-Jim crow , post traumatic slave disorder true self esteem less, Ward of the state CLOWNS with their low scale and highly UNimpressive resumes, start going off about how the beautiful Azealia Banks looks! I’ve never felt so much hate and rage for anyone else than I did in that moment. Yemaya was really on stage .”
