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.”
Matty Healy, the enigmatic frontman of the British pop-rock band The 1975, has amassed a net worth of $15 million as of 2024, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His journey from humble beginnings to international fame has been marked by talent, perseverance, and a knack for captivating audiences worldwide.

Lead singer of pop rock band The 1975 Matty Healy has found himself crossing paths with plenty of high-profile musicians this year. Most notably, the singer spent a few weeks as Taylor Swift’s speculated boyfriend. Many Swifties reacted negatively to the news citing various controversial statements Healy has made in the past. He also crossed paths with Azealia Banks and found himself being called out by pop singer Rina Sawayama. But one of the controversies that has stuck the most are strange comments he made about Ice Spice on a podcast.
Healy appeared on The Adam Friedland Show where he told a story about trying to reach Ice Spice through Instagram DMs. That spun into a tirade where the podcast hosts play offensive guessing games about the rapper’s ethnicity. While Healy doesn’t exactly participate directly he clearly finds the spectacle funny. Apparently, Matty felt the need to apologize as Spice was asked about it in a recent interview and she revealed what he said.
Ice Spice tells @Variety Matty Healy apologized to her after his racist comments:
“I saw him at the Jean Paul Gaultier party a couple days ago, and he was like ‘Hey, you OK?’ & I’m like, ‘Of course.’ He apologized to me a bunch of times. We’re good.”
“When I had heard that little podcast or whatever, I was so confused. 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? Ice Spice explains to Variety. She also revealed that she eventually received an apology from the singer. “But then they apologized or whatever. And the whole time, I didn’t really care.”
Spice also explained that she caught up with Matty recently and the pair have made up. “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.” In the full interview she discusses a number of other artists and controversies she’s been a part of. What do you think of Matty Healy’s apology to Ice Spice for comments from a podcast he appeared on? Let us know in the comment section below.

As Stereogum notes, during a controversial February episode of The Adam Friedland Show, “Healy mentioned Ice Spice, whom he said he tried to DM on Instagram. The group then tried to guess at the rapper’s heritage by referring to her as Hawaiian, Inuit, and Chinese, while mocking those accents.” The publication later noted, “Healy didn’t participate in those mocking accents, but he laughed along with the podcast hosts.”
Fast-forward to today, when Healy addressed the situation on stage. He said:
“I just feel a bit bad, and I’m kind of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you. Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a dick. I love you, Ice Spice. I’m so sorry.
I don’t want anything like that misconstrued to be mean. I’m not… I hate… I don’t mind being a bit of a joker. […] It’s OK for me to be, like, a trickster or whatever, but I don’t want to be perceived as, like, being barmy. Because honestly, I just love you guys, and I love doing this. […]
The truth I just want to say, ‘Hello. This is a bit embarrassing. I’m sorry if I get it wrong. We all get it wrong,’ you know? I just have to do it in public and then apologize to Ice Spice. My life’s just a bit weird. I am genuinely sorry if I’ve upset her because I f*cking love her.
