Who died during plastic surgery in a house fire.

He flies under the radar because he looks like a racist ghost who died during plastic surgery.

36 Chambers came out in 1993!

I think he was saying that to counter the people saying he stood by while RC called her a “nigger” which she totally made up.

I could see how it would be patronizing if she wasn’t going around calling him a chump for not defending her. She says she’s no longer signing a record deal with him, because she doesn’t want to align herself with someone who didn’t stand up for her.

Still, two lines in particular give pause as he concludes: “I have a wife, daughters, sisters and females on my staff so I protect women everyday. I pray none of them ever behave the way I witnessed Azealia Banks behaved that night.”

Yeah, I was wondering if I was the only person who immediately recognized the context for that particular sentence. He has been treating her like family up until this incident.

That’s exactly it, he explains it in the video.

she never takes up any truly harmful positions, so you shouldnt feel terrible about supporting her via her music.

It’s African-American urban vernacular, it’s not disrespectful.

While he’s entitled to feel how he likes, Azealia Banks is none of those things to RZA and it’s doubtful she needed or asked for his protection or his prayers.

Hm, I read “I have a wife, daughters, sisters and females on my staff so I protect women everyday.” less as patronizing and more as a direct response to Banks’ claim that “...the men in the room allowed it to happen.” She pretty openly accused RZA of not protecting her, seems like he was responding to that without…

Uh, no.

Yeah, it’s actually pretty sympathetically written given that he’s ultimately calling her a liar. It sounds like he’s genuinely disappointed that she ended up proving the negative rumors about her true.

Thank you. She needed somebody because she was in career limbo.

I think we’ve given Azaelia Banks enough chances

Keep trying to paint anyone but the perpatrator as the bad guy. You do know you don’t have to knee jerk defend every woman simply because she’s a woman?

it’s doubtful she needed or asked for his protection or his prayers.

Sorry, I’m with him. Sounds as if Banks has only herself to blame for being ejected from the party, and to falsely file a police report afterwards stating she was an innocent victim of violence and racism is wrong.

Frankly, we can think whatever we like. The result will be the same: She played herself. This was her second, hell, maybe even third chance to get in the game and get back to slaying for the people.
