Azealia Banks attacks Zayn Malik again with transphobic comment

By Fabio Crispim

Looks like Azealia Banks can’t help but hit the headlines for her constant spur of abuse.

Banks caused controversy in May after accusing Zayn Malik of copying her style and in a series of tweets she mocked his religion, claimed he was One Direction’s “token brown boy”, and called his mother Tricia – who is of English and Irish heritage – a “dirty refugee who won’t be granted asylum.”.

Banks later apologised for the attack but was banned from Twitter shortly after.

That hasn’t stopped her, in fact it’s only given her a new platform on Instagram and she’s at it again.

Digital Spy reports that the rapper made a transphobic comment beneath a post about Zayn’s recent GQ photoshoot on Instagram.

Under the photo Banks wrote, “He legit looks like he used to be a girl. He gives me transman teas.”

How long do we have to wait until she’s banned from Instagram too?
