Mama Michelle Visage has HAD IT with Azealia Banks’ repeated use of the phrase “faggot.” In an interview with The Gay UK, Michelle explained
“All of my gay friends call each other the ‘F’ word… I don’t, and she being a female shouldn’t. It’s wrong and it’s offensive. If she were a gay man and said it with the same venom it would still be offensive.
“I wish her well but I don’t know what she’s doing with that attitude.”
Banks, of course, has a long history of using the slur, and has been heavily criticised for it in the past.
Pink News UK reminds us that she was first criticized in 2013 when she told entertainment blogger Perez Hilton that he was a “messy faggot” who should kill himself. Later she defended her comments, arguing that gay men are misogynistic and that if gay men can say ‘bitch’ then she should be able to say ‘faggot’. Banks again criticised for a homophobic outburst against a flight attendant, where she was caught on video calling him a “fucking faggot”. In response to the criticism the rapper went on a bizare and vile rant on Instagram where she said she wanted to pepper spray a gay man in the face. She subsequently labelled the LGBT community the ‘gay white KKK’.
Gay men be saying the most misogynist sh*t, but as soon as you call them a f*ggot they wanna get upset.
‘Somebody gotta check these f*ggots man. I don’t give a f*ck!! NO MAN Is going challenge my femininity. It’s not happening.
‘Gay men can call you a bitch, and talk about YA hair and YA nails, but as soon as you call them a f*ggot, all sh*t breaks loose’
