(Photos) Azealia Banks Tries To Justify Her Outburst On Zayn Malik & Skai Jackson
Azealia Banks berated former One Direction singer Zayn Malik with racial epithets yesterday, after he disagreed with her insinuation that he was copying her style. She also decided to diss the UK as a whole and its music scene, which seemed rather absurd, considering that she has more fans there than she does in the U.S. At one point, 14-year-old Disney star (and meme queen) Skai Jackson innocently shared her opinion on her Twitter page, prompting Azealia to then come for her as well. The results were messy, with Skai coming out the clear winner in the situation. Since then, the backlash has been swift and harsh, and an upcoming UK festival has already dropped Azealia as the headlining act. Now she’s attempting to justify her words, saying that she was speaking out of anger, that Zayn felt he was too good to acknowledge her, and that she had to remind him that she and he are the same and are looked at as “other” because they’re people of color.

Zayn Malik Responds To Critics Saying He Bit His Album Artwork Off Lil Wayne
Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik is out on his own, and he recently released the cover art for his upcoming solo album. Featuring a photo from his childhood, updated with his tattoos from adulthood, many couldn’t help but notice Mind of Mine‘s striking resemblance to Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III cover – and promptly called Zayn out on it. Zayn has now responded via Twitter, explaining he’s “not tryna be no rapper,” and that his ideas have been with him “a long time.” Longer than 2008 – when C3 was released, though? Doubt it! He also RT’d a fan who noted that other artists have long been using their baby pictures for cover art (funny how all of their examples were rappers that Zayn is “not tryna be”), but the difference is clearly the tattoos. What do you think? Check out the comparisons in the gallery and let us know your thoughts! Mind of Mine is slated for release on March 25.
