    AceShowbiz – Azealia Banks is fighting for her rights. Over the weekend, the rapper took to Instagram to ask her fans not to stream her debut album, “Broke With Expensive Taste”, because all the profits are going to go to her label Prospect Park’s chief executive, Jeff Kwatinetz, instead of her or any producers involved in the project.
    She admitted to being in “deep pain” for asking her fans such a thing, but it’s something that she has to do. “The pain I feel right now is so deep. I lost ‘212’. I worked so hard on that record. But every stream goes into his pocket,” so Azealia said. “I have the master drive and will figure out a way to press physicals so you can enjoy the music and I can pay the producers the royalties they have been waiting for six years for.”
    In another post, she shared screenshots of Jeff’s e-mail to her that found him promising not to put his interest ahead of his artist. “I assure you I only stepped in to do that to be helpful and to solve problems in front of us,” he said at one point in the lengthy mail. “My goal was to insure the best marketing and promotion as I truly believe if done right money made in touring, endorsement and other pursuits will dwarf the record money.” In the caption of the post, Azealia called his mail “the original lie.”

    Not stopping there, the “Anna Wintour” rapper later followed it up with another post warning her fans of what Jeff might do in the future. “He will most likely try to press more physicals. Do not purchase them,” she said. “Only when they are available via ME will you actually be able to support myself and the producers involved. Do not buy them via Spotify, Amazon, eBay or any other site until I give you the word.”

    “Broke With Expensive Taste” was released in November 2014. Receiving positive reviews from music critics, it debuted at No. 30 on Billboard 200.

      Iggy Azalea Calls Azealia Banks 'Dumb' for Threatening to Get Her Song Removed

      The ‘Black Widow’ raptress responds after the ‘212’ hitmaker announces that she has trademarked ‘p***ypop’ and taunts the Aussie star, ‘positively will come after her for using one of my Brand Names.’
      May 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Iggy Azalea is not letting Azealia Banks’ mean-spirited posts ruin her mood. The Australian star, who is reported to have recently welcomed her first child with her boyfriend Playboi Carti, has responded after her longtime nemesis claimed to have trademarked the word “p***ypop” and threatened to get Iggy’s song “P***y” removed.
      Instead of getting worked up, the 29-year-old raptress doesn’t seem to be bothered by Azealia’s threat. “Actually that’s not the way copy right works,” she posted on Twitter on Tuesday, May 19 after learning of the New York City’s artist’s announcement. “I don’t sell soap names that so it doesn’t matter. That’s not even how trademark works.” Calling out Azealia, she added, “The girls are dumb. Move on.”
      Iggy went on arguing why Azealia’s threat misfired, “Also my track list is P***y Pop not ‘p***ypop’. It isn’t even the word she has trademarked.” She went on telling her fans to stop worrying about this, writing, “Please stop feeding into this type of dumb s**t & ignore her I hate seeing you guys get upset or worried about nonsense.”
      Earlier on the same day, Azealia took to her Instagram Stories to announce, “I officially own the trademarks for P***YPOP & BUSSYBOY. Today is an excellent day.” Taunting her nemesis, she added in the post, “@thenewclassic I would have your team remove ‘P***ypop’ before things get ugly.”
      “Definitely have proof of usage prior to her song release as well as a slew of disparaging tweets from her about my company. Absolutely, positively will come after her for using one of my Brand Names,” she went on claiming, before making her point, “Can’t make a song called ‘Doritos’ if the CEO of Doritos does not approve of usage. I do not approve of usage.”

      Many have since slammed Azealia for her petty move, with one commenting, “She gotta be embarrassed at this point . Bc I am for her.” Another called her out, “She’s soo bitter sheesh,” while some others called her “miserable” and “toxic.”
      Someone else slammed her as “mentally ill,” while a fan of Iggy warned her to “leave iggy alone. F**k.” Fed up with her bitterness, one other complained, “Azealia really gotta grow up, this behavior is so tired and boring at this point.”
