In what has to be the weirdest, most pointless Twitter rivalry ever, known troublemaker Azealia Banks has started a “beef” (hate that expression) with known doesn’t-give-a-fuck-er Lily Allen over… ugly kids? Husbands that look like thumbs? I mean, it’s just sorta silly. I was gonna be all, “Here’s how it went down!” but.. I kinda just told you. Azealia said something on Twitter about how when she met Lily Allen once, she seemed all “coked up” and that her husband looked like a thumb? So Lily retaliated, calling her a one-hit wonder (which is kinda true, actually, since ‘212’ received commercial success but homegirl’s been riding that wave for almost 2 years now). Then Azealia called her kids ugly and none of it makes any sense!!! I don’t understand! What is the point of this?
@lilyrosecooper LOL ill be a one hit wonder but you have ugly children and a coke habit….. Shhhhhhh. #SHUTUP #ATMJAMISON

Lily was also spot on when she pointed out that Azealia must have a song coming out – which she does, with Pharrell (that’s mostly him whisper-singing and her doing a tiny bit of rapping… not very good) – and basically ended the whole to-do like so:
And my husband ? Don't go there bitch Or your totally unnecessary security detail may actually have something to worry about #wannabe

Lily also referred to Azealia as “Amanda” – as in, she of the crazy “ugly” tweets. I used to really love Azealia and a lot of her old tracks are great, but she’s literally spending so much time TRYING to be an icon that she’s missing out on the actual work that it takes – like, you know, great music. Plus, it’s just really, really corny to call someone “ugly” as an insult. Are you in 4th grade?
I’m growing bored of Azealia, she had some great tweets about racism and stuff but then she just started getting into twitter fights and yawn.
Amazing concert of Azaelia last night, at the Musilac Festival!
So lively onstage! Very fit and enthusiastic.
I LOVED that gig.
Can’t wait to here more from her!
