Oh, Azealia Banks. She really is a music news editor’s dream, isn’t she? Like she’s in cahoots with Google Ads to gain more hits for websites.

After release date delays, festival cancellations and several changes of management, it seems as if the pressure is getting to Banks as she leaves Twitter, seeks another manager and threatens to quit rap altogether.

She posted the following over several tweets, now obviously deleted:

“I know who you are yes…You short bald man…I know you planted these false stories. Guess what? I’m still not going to let you manage me again. I’ve dealt with enough cyber bullying to see right thru this. I will definitely be working BY MYSELF and saving MY 20% On management commissions while I avoid you sharks in the water….
I really want a female manager. Women are just so much smarter. I just want a really hardcore woman…Or a really gay man as my manager…You other n***as have WAY too much ego s**t with y’all. I just need a lady with some really intimidating glasses and a crazy shoe game to just stomp all you phonies out! Lol I’m dead serious tho…About not hiring another male manager. The next manager you all see will be the kuniest k**t ever.”
No longer wishing to be a rapper. I never was…. and as soon as i started paying attention to bulls**t urban media, i started getting myself in trouble. From now on i’m a vocalist, and will not be associating myself with the “rap game”… or whatever the f**k that means…no more twitter for me… it makes me entirely too accessible. Catch me on tumblr… it’ll be more interesting.”

But despite all the drama, ’212′ still feels as raw as ever. So let’s just take a minute and recap on that again:
