Azealia Banks Says Beyoncé ‘Knew Better’ Than To Sample Her Music On ‘Renaissance’

Azealia Banks is dragging Beyoncé, again. This time the controversial rapper and singer had another bone to pick with the Houston native over her hit album Renaissance. 

On July 24, the 32-year-old femcee fanned flames at the Houston native on Instagram when a stan innocently commented that the Grammy Award-winning singer “should’ve sampled” Azealia’s music on Renaissance. Azealia wasn’t too thrilled to see the comment.

“She knew better,” Azealia penned to the fan. In a follow-up reply, Azealia said she would have taken legal action against Bey and her 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy if they had sampled her music. “I would have sued her, Sony, Columbia, Parkwood, tidal AND Blue Ivy. I would have sued the fake Basquiat dreads right off [Jay-Z]’s head,” she added.

“I’m not the one.” Oddly, Azealia appeared to be praising Bey in the same Instagram post where she talked about breaking the singer’s bank with a potential lawsuit in the comments section. The “212” hitmaker claimed that the mother of three “should have been nominated for a rock Grammy” for her hit song “Suga Mama,” which appeared on the pop diva’s second studio album B-Day. 

“‘Suga Mama’” is a ROCK song, and none of these stale rock bands have beat it. Go argue with ur mom. Beyoncé is eating all the white boys’ rock food on B-day,” the Fantasea crooner penned.
