After the public Twitter spat between Azealia Banks and Skai Jackson, Skai has been crowned the “clap back Princess”. She opened up to Teen Vogue about why she is glad her responses to Banks went as viral as her memes.
A few day ago Azealia Banks decided to once again, use Twitter as her platform to attack. She went in on former Disney star Zayn Malik and eventually Skai Jackson. Unbeknownst to her, Skai was ready to clap back in the most classy manner. After the spat, the remarks Banks made eventually costed her all access to her Twitter account.
When asked about the incident, Skai shared:
“I felt like it was totally offensive and not right to say at all. She’s a bully, and I’ve been bullied when I was younger. I’m against bullying; I hate it because I’ve dealt with it. I felt like I had to say something on my Twitter.“
Banks went in so much on the 14 year old actress, that eventually Skai’s mother was pulled into the argument. Completely aware of the person she was arguing with, she says her mother has always instilled self confidence in her by saying,
“If you’re not confident in yourself, then what are you living for? Things are not going to be easy all the time, but know it will get better.”
Skai is definitely an inspiration and great role model for girls of all ages dealing with the criticism and comments from cyber bullies.
