I wonder if you’d be fine with Crowe getting slashed by a hoodrat.

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people. Females is the word black people started using because “bitch” was deemed offensive. It’s only after it went mainstream and white boys started using it that everyone started getting cut up over this term.

Hate to rain on your #LoveBanks parade, but I find it funny you championing her so much when she’s had this to say about y’all:

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.

This is Jezebel.

I’m on Team I Didn’t Threaten To Cut Someone.

She tried to stab someone, yet you’re harping on his usage of the word “females”?!

Agreed. I really don’t understand the snark in the post. Although he’s clearly closer to Russell Crow, I look at the RZA here more as a neutral observer to the events telling it like it is. He genuinely sounds shocked and upset and embarrassed by her actions.

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…

He likely is a sexist. A sexist that tried to help a sister out based on her talent and not because he was trying to fuck her.

I dig her music but, as a gay man, I find her foul as a person.

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.

Except for threatening to cut throats, right? That is my definition of harmful.

Rza is cool. Banks if a fucking disaster.

I think we’ve given Azaelia Banks enough chances

Why are you trying to defend Azealia, I mean, Russell Crowe is no angel, but Azealia is a documented crazy person and she should get help.

A few weeks ago Azealia hit me up for some economic help and bong I gave a helping hand.

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.
