Azealia Banks went on a lengthy rant about Latto and the backlash she’s received during her career in several posts on X (formerly Twitter), on Saturday morning. After discussing her hatred for Lorde, Charli XCX, and more pop artists, Banks gave fans her candid thoughts on Latto.
“She is really missing out on so much iconicness by not being “mulatto,'” she began in response to one user. “2nd off, for all that social backlash and for people to be dumb enough not to realize her name is still Mulatto but abbreviated should prove that they stupid internet anger addicts.” In a second post, she added: “Who are not as socially insightful as they think they are and made all that ruckus just to get hoodwinked. PLUS IS HER CALLING HERSELF MULATTO AT ALL EVEN SLIGHTLY AS DENIGRATING And DETRIMENTAL AS BLACK ARTISTS CALLING THEMSELVES AND THEIR PEERS N*****S ALL DAY?????????????????”

PLEASE BE MULATTO ITS EPIC SIS.” From there, fans requested Banks’ thoughts on Ariana Grande, Ice Spice, and many more artists. Check out the entirety of her rant on X below.
