Azealia Banks | Where Are They Now? | Controversial Career & Cat Incident
Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

After Azealia Banks would drop hit songs like “Anna Wintour”, “Black Madonna”, and “212”. After Azealia Banks would find herself mixed up in public feuds with near everyone in Hollywood including Lana Del Ray, Zayn Malik, and even Russell Crowe. After Azealia Banks would horrify a whole ton of people on social media, posting a video of her digging up her cat and boiling it in a vat of water to bring it back to life. Azealia Banks is a name that causes a pretty strong reaction to almost anyone who hears it. For those who love her immense talent, she’s one of the best rappers in hip-hop, a fantastic dancer, and a true artist. But to her detractors, she’s obnoxious, racist, and possibly circling the drain of a failed career. Let’s not forget, her breakthrough song was “212” and she released that bad-boy almost ten years ago now. At that time, she was heralded as the next big thing in rap music. Not only was she trendy and confident, but she was also actually a good artist and a fantastic performer. And while her music, when it gets released, is still gobbled up by her fans, over the years Azealia has become more well known for initiating one-sided beefs than almost anything else she does... well, that and things like digging up her cat, Lucifer, just to bring it back to life. And this is not the first time Azealia has shocked the world with her behavior. Far from it.
