During an interview with New York radio station Hot 97 on Thursday, Banks often became emotional as she detailed why she has issues with Azalea.
"I feel like in this country, whenever it comes to our things, like black issues or black politics or black music or whatever, there's always this undercurrent of kinda like a 'f--- you," she said.
"That Iggy Azalea s--- isn't better than any f---ing black girl that's rapping today.
“The Grammys are supposed to be accolades of artistic excellence,” she added. “Iggy Azalea is not excellent."
She added that award shows like the Grammys recognizing artists like Macklemore and Azalea sent a problematic message.
“When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is, ‘oh yeah you’re great, you’re amazing, you can do whatever you want to.
“And it says to black kids: you don’t have s---, not even the s--- you created for yourself, and it makes me upset.”
“Special msg for banks: There are many black artists succeeding in all genres. The reason you haven't is because of your piss poor attitude,” she began her Twitter rant.
“Your inability to be responsible for your own mistakes, bullying others, the inability to be humble or have self control. It’s YOU!
“You created your own unfortunate situation by being a bigot and don't have the mental capacity to realize yet,” she continued. “Probably never will.”
“Now rant, make it racial! make it political! Make it whatever but I guarantee it won’t make you likable & THATS why ur crying on the radio,” Azalea tweeted.
Banks responded with some angry tweets of her own.
“Dear LordT, I Pray for this Clueless White Girl,” she responded.
