Azealia Banks Demands $1 Million From Matty Healy After Physical Threat

by

Last week, Azealia Banks and Matty Healy got into a heated X feud, which was ignited when the rapper went after Charli XCX’s appearance. “Charli used to be soooo pretty,” she wrote. “Ugh. Boaaa, I swear them weho gays be having the girls questioning themselves meanwhile they all scraping k off a cookie sheet, eating cold bossanova and sharing panties. Tuh.” Healy didn’t take her comment lightly and quickly fired back with a string of insults. Eventually, he even threatened to get physical with Banks.

“Talk to me like that I’m not gonna side eye you at an awards do I’m going to f*cking slap you so hard I’ll get a Guinness world record for the highest a rat some b*tch calls a wig has ever flown,” he claimed. Ultimately, he apologized, admitting that he had crossed a line. “What a bad day, I really let myself down,” he explained on Reddit. “I have worked so hard to move past these impulsive self-destructive and honestly quite volatile outbursts I have.” Banks did not accept his apology, however, and has now decided to hit The 1975’s frontman with a cease and desist.

Azealia Banks Not Finished With Matty Healy After He Threatens To “F*cking Slap” Her

She shared a copy of the letter today on X, making it clear that she’s not messing around. “Although you do not know my client personally and my client does not know you, you acted internationally with the specific purpose of causing my client to be shocked, distressed, and emotionally injured with your assaults by threat of imminent physical harm,” the letter reads.

“Your overt racial epithets and repeated threats of violence against my client constitute cyber harassment and cyberbullying and violate various Federal and state laws,” it continues. In addition to a public apology, Banks is requesting $1 million in damages. At the time of writing, Healy has yet to publicly respond to Banks taking legal action.

Azealia Banks loves a good verbal lashing. However, that is where the “Ice Princess” rapper draws the line.

After her heated exchange with Matty Healy ventured into the realm of potential physical harm when Healy said he was “going to f*cking slap” Azealia, she decided to opt out. Today (December 8), she seemingly took a preemptive measure to ensure her safety moving forward. Over on X (formerly Twitter), Azealia Banks publicly served Matty Healy with a cease and desist.

Banks shared a copy of the legal letter addressed to The 1975 frontman. In the paperwork, Banks’ attorney (Wallace E. J. Collins III) demanded that Healy stop “making any further further threats or defamatory” otherwise he could see the inside of a courtroom.

“Although you do not know my client personally and my client does not know you, you acted internationally with the specific purpose of causing my client to be shocked, distressed, and emotionally injured with your assaults by threat of imminent physical harm,” read the letter.

Banks’ attorney continued: “Your overt racial epithets and repeated threats of violence against my client constitute cyber harassment and cyberbullying and violate various Federal and state laws.”

By way of the document, Banks has also requested “a prompt public apology” and “compensation for damaging” amounting to $1 million.

Azealia Banks Isn’t Giving Up On Her War With Matty Healy Despite His Apology

by

When Matty Healy defended Charli XCX against Azealia Banks’ criticisms last month, he probably did not expect he’d be dealing with Banks’ ire to this day. Moreover, he recently apologized for his mean comments towards the rapper. “What a bad day, I really let myself down,” The 1975’s frontman expressed on Reddit. “I have worked so hard to move past these impulsive self-destructive and honestly quite volatile outbursts I have.

“I just feel dreadful about how I acted violent. Azealia and all obvious, flawed people all deep down have a heart and I hate that I have contributed to her mental fragility,” Matt Healy wrote of Azealia Banks. “She’s a human. This cultural discourse has become so violent in general. I don’t wanna act like I regret who I am or who have been. But Tbh at this point I feel gross even having said anything negative ever about anything — if it’s contributed to this culture.” Well, it seems like Banks didn’t really appreciate this apology that much. She took to Twitter on Friday (December 6) to call out her issues with it and with the artist as a whole.

Azealia Banks Does Not Accept Matty Healy’s Apology

“Once again, he is totally focused on letting himself down and apologizing to himself, instead of apologizing for letting me down and hurting me,” Azealia Banks said of Matty Healy. “Whoever his PR agent is needs to be fired because this entire statement includes yet another count of defamation, another count of intentionally inflicted emotional distress, and three more admissions of guilt. Matt really isn’t the clear provacatuer [sic] he thinks he is. But seriously, fire this pr agent. Because you’ve literally just handed this to me.

“1. Calling me flawed – again I’ve never met this man nor do I know him in real life,” Azealia Banks continued. “What flaws exactly,? 2. Contributed to her mental fragility – an obvious and condescending insult put in. To frame this story into one where the responsibilities for HIS actions are shared with me. Nice try. This is hinging on very stereotypical and racist rhetoric that categorizes a black woman as a naturally flawed, mentally unstable, erratic danger to herself – and any natural and response to disrespect – be deemed a symptom of some sort of inherent inability to discern. This is some trashy bell curve coded s**t and I have no clue why this man is in such a racist manner. Intent on utilizing played out social tropes to make a non case. He apologized to his fans before apologizing to me. This is demoralizing.”

Matty Healy Allegedly Threatens To Slap Azealia Banks Amid Heated Twitter Feud

by

Matty Healy allegedly threatened to slap Azealia Banks amid a fiery feud on social media before walking back the comment in a later post. While they’ve been feuding for months, the latest drama kicked off when Banks criticized Charli XCX’s appearance. “Charli used to be soooo pretty,” she wrote. “Ugh. Boaaa, I swear them weho gays be having the girls questioning themselves meanwhile they all scraping k off a cookie sheet, eating cold bossanova and sharing panties. Tuh.” Charli is engaged to Healy’s The 1975 bandmate, George Daniel.

An account that appears to be Healy, as noted by Uproxx, replied to the post: “Azealia you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to your ‘reads’. All the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and NICE people. I think this makes you jealous cos you’re so talented but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap bro.” When Banks clapped back that they both look like they, “share needles,” Healy then wrote: “I now you think your life is some episode of the library is open but I am not the one. Talk to me like that I’m not gonna side eye you at an awards do I’m going to f*cking slap you so hard I’ll get a Guinness world record for the highest a rat some b*tch calls a wig has ever flown.”

Eventually, Healy deleted the post and wrote in a new statement: “Nah I can’t be saying I’m gonna hit a girl that’s insane I’m sorry. You just can’t keep being so mean about my mates and my mrs it’s really hurtful gets me well defensive.” Banks wasn’t fazed by Healy’s apparent apology and continued calling him out.

Matty Healy Threatens To Slap Azealia Banks (And Then Reconsiders) As Their Online Beef Continues

Azealia Banks and The 1975’s Matty Healy aren’t on the best of terms right now, to put it lightly. In November, the two went back and forth online after Banks shared some unflattering thoughts about Charli XCX’s performance on Saturday Night Live, and now they’re back at it again.

As NME notes, the latest round of beef started with Banks again going after Charli, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “Charli used to be soooo pretty. Ugh. Boaaa, I swear them weho gays be having the girls questioning themselves meanwhile they all scraping k off a cookie sheet, eating cold bossanova and sharing panties. Tuh.”

Healy replied, “Azealia you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to your ‘reads’. All the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and NICE people. I think this makes you jealous cos you’re so talented but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap bro.”

Banks then continued from there with a series of tweets, including one in which she said of Charli and Healy, “You both look like you share needles.” Healy responded, “I now you think your life is some episode of the library is open but I am not the one. Talk to me like that I’m not gonna side eye you at an awards do I’m going to f*cking slap you so hard I’ll get a Guinness world record for the highest a rat some b*tch calls a wig has ever flown.”

Healy later had some regret there, as he deleted the tweet and wrote, “Nah I can’t be saying I’m gonna hit a girl that’s insane I’m sorry. You just can’t keep being so mean about my mates and my mrs it’s really hurtful gets me well defensive.”

Then, in reference to Charli and Lorde’s “Girl, So Confusing” remix, Healy tweeted, “No but we should actually sort this out on the remix @azealiaslacewig.”

Banks didn’t seem interested in a reconciliation, though, as she later tweeted that The 1975 makes “urban outfitters music for tweenies.”

So, in conclusion, Healy and Banks: still not buds.

Matty Healy Shoots Back At Azealia Banks For Fiery Criticism Of Charli XCX

by

Matty Healy fired back at Azealia Banks on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday afternoon after she criticized Charli XCX’s performance on Saturday Night Live. Reacting to a clip of Charli performing her hit Brat single, “360,” Banks accused her of making a “lazy” interpolation of Ciara’s “1, 2 Step.” Healy’s 1975 bandmate, George Daniel, is currently engaged to Charli.

“I legit just a caught how this song a lazy artist studio interpolation of Ciara’s 1,2 step. First off, nobody even know or cares about aj cook enough her to be riding Ciara’s ‘This beat is Outrageous, so contagious, make you crave it Jazze made it (Ha!),’” Banks wrote. “… I guess brat is when nobody has to tell u ur trash because u already know ur trash. This actually gets worse and worse.” In response to the post, Healy wrote back: “Shut up you f*cking prat,” with a laughing emoji. “Being more annoying than me is actually impressive.”

It’s not the first time Healy and Banks have traded shots on social media. Last year, the “212” hitmaker called Healy out after his viral comments about Ice Spice. “Does Matty Healy know that no one actually thinks The 1975 makes good music?” she asked her followers on Instagram at the time. “And that he’s a lame poser with a trash cliche band name that actually means nothing. He’s clearly so pressed about a Black girl who knows nothing about him or his music is making more moves and money than him.”

Elsewhere during the latest SNL episode, Charli performed one of her other Brat singles, “Sympathy is a knife.” Check out Healy’s latest response to Azealia Banks below.

Azealia Banks was not a fan of Charli XCX’s dual role as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. “I legit just a caught how this song a lazy artist studio interpolation of Ciara’s 1,2 step,” Banks wrote on X (formerly Twitter) about her performance of “360.” After accusing Charli of having “flow just without the swag,” she continued, “I guess brat is when nobody has to tell u ur trash because u already know ur trash. This actually gets worse and worse.”

The “rantings of a lunatic” (as Banks describes herself) caught the attention of Matty Healy, whose 1975 bandmate, George Daniel, is engaged to Charli. “Shut up you f*cking prat,” he wrote in response. In a follow-up tweet, Healy added, “Being more annoying than me is actually impressive.”

This isn’t the first time Banks and Healy have sparred. She called him a “full incel” while he was rumored to be dating Taylor Swift. “Taylor, this guy is gonna give you scabies. He’s not on the level of powerful p*ss you worked hella hard to build. Ugh, so many much cooler people in music to work with,” she wrote in an Instagram Story. “You cannot be letting him climb the rich white coochie mountain, sis.” In a separate incident, Banks also advised Healy to eat “a strong green salad” and “wash [his] d*ck.”

You thought the crowd was feeling you? Well, Ice Spice surely hoped so. The “Gimme A Light” rapper’s Y2K! World Tour is off to a rough start.

During Open’er Festival, fans grew concerned about Ice Spice’s wellbeing after she seemed disassociated onstage. Today (July 7) the recording artist came face-to-face with a sea of trolls at Rolling Loud Europe. As Ice Spice performed “Karma (Remix),” her collaboration with Taylor Swift, the Austrian audience began to boo.

Initial, Ice Spice seemed confused by the reaction (especially considering Swift’s global reach). But, shortly after the audience flashed a few thumbs down motions toward her, Ice Spice responded by blowing a kiss.

Users online applauded Ice Spice’s action while clowning the overwhelmingly male perpetrators.

“Men used to go war, and now they show up to Ice Spice sets and hate on a woman 1,000,000 times out of their league,” wrote one user.

“Imagine going to an Ice Spice set, then booing Taylor Swift when their collab plays. What losers,” penned another.

“TayBlessings for Ice,” chimed another.

“Love her. Men are f*cking weird,” added another.

Taylor Swift and Ice Spice’s friendship has continued to blossom since their song. They were even spotted together at Super Bowl 2024. Based on Ice Spice’s defense of Swift, they will remain strong.

Ice Spice ‘Didn’t Really Care’ About Matty Healy’s Friends’ Offensive Comments, For Which He Apologized ‘A Bunch Of Times’

by

In a new interview with Variety, burgeoning rap superstar Ice Spice addressed a racism scandal involving the 1975 frontman Matty Healy, saying she “didn’t really care” about it, despite an online controversy that had social media users up in arms for days.

The incident she’s referring to took place in spring this year, when Healy appeared on The Adam Friedland Show. Healy mentioned Ice Spice, which prompted the show’s hosts to guess at her ethnicity, all while using derogatory and stereotypical accents for Chinese, Hawaiian, and Inuit people. While Healy himself didn’t participate, he also didn’t push back; in response, fans criticized him heavily on social media (although, to be fair, a lot of that appeared to be driven by protective Taylor Swift fans who just didn’t seem to think he was “good enough” for her).

“When I had heard that little podcast or whatever, I was so confused,” she said. “Because I heard ‘chubby Chinese lady’ or some sh*t like that, and I’m like, ‘Huh? What does that even mean?’ First of all, I’m thick. What do you mean Chinese? What? But then they apologized or whatever. And the whole time, I didn’t really care. But that’s funny because I saw him at the Jean Paul Gaultier party a couple days ago, and he was like, ‘Hey, you OK?’ and I’m like, ‘Of course.’ He apologized to me a bunch of times. We’re good.”

Here’s a prime example of why maybe everyone should consider chilling out a little bit. It’s understandable to be invested in our favorite entertainers to a point, but getting all offended on their behalves when they rarely even notice the stuff we expend so much energy on can’t be healthy. Besides, if Ice Spice is too busy doing deals with Dunkin’, working on her debut album, and collaborating with Healy’s ex Taylor Swift, maybe we could all learn from her example and mind the business that actually keeps us paid.
