Azealia Banks told Taylor Swift to break up with new boyfriend Matty Healy or risk getting “scabies.”
The rapper, 31, took to her Instagram Story Tuesday to urge the “All Too Well” songstress, 33, to ditch the controversial musician for a “much cooler” — and less problematic — partner.
“Taylor, this guy is gonna give you scabies,” Banks wrote atop a black screen. “He’s not on the level of powerful p–s u worked HELLA Hard To build.”
“Ugh, so many much cooler People in music to work with,” she continued, before suggesting that Swift should hit up James Mercer from The Shins instead.
According to Banks, Mercer is “one of the best lyricists ever” while Healy “is a full incel.”
“You cannot be letting him climb the rich white coochie mountain sis,” she concluded.
The rant came after Healy, 34, defended his appearance on the “Adam Friedland Show” podcast, in which host Adam Friedland made racist and sexist remarks about rapper Ice Spice.
In the episode, Healy laughed as Friedland and co-host Nick Mullen called Ice Spice an “Inuit Spice Girl” and “chubby Chinese lady” while mocking Chinese and Hawaiian accents.
The “Somebody Else” singer also encouraged the hosts to do an “impression” of a Japanese Nazi, which he found particularly funny.
Despite apologizing previously, The 1975 frontman told the New Yorker Monday that the controversial episode doesn’t “actually matter” and that anyone who was offended by the episode is “deluded.”
“Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy,’” he explained. “That doesn’t happen.”
“You’re either lying that you are hurt, or you’re a bit mental for being hurt,” he continued. “It’s just people going, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.’”
Banks also reposted a screenshot of his latest remarks to her social media, calling Healy “a small white opinionated male” that makes “crappy ass mid-2000s indie” music.
“Does Matty Healy know that no one actually thinks The 1975 makes good music and that he’s a lame poser with a trash cliche band name that actually means nothing and he is clearly so pressed that a black girl who knows nothing about him or his music is making more moves and money than him,” she wrote.
“Does he know that black women are more coveted in today’s industry because there is BIG BUSINESS in female rap,” she continued. “He is obviously so weak in the knees, thin-jawed and drug addicted that it’s easy to catch his crusty ass lackin.”
Amid all the drama, Healy has also been making headlines for his shocking new romance with Taylor Swift.
The pair first sparked dating rumors after Healy attended Swift’s Eras concert in Nashville earlier this month.
Since then, they’ve been spotted out and about in New York City on numerous different occasions, including at Casa Cipriani where the pair were seen kissing.
Although neither Swift nor Healy has directly addressed their romance, the latter hinted at the speculation during The 1975’s concert over the weekend.
