While you were prepping for this ridiculously cold weather, on Friday, Banks threw hella shade at the TDE rapper for his comments on Ferguson and Mike Brown. Shortly after her tweet storm, Lupe and Cudi both get involved. Check out the tweets below.
Just so you know the full story
Here’s Kendrick’s quote to Billboard: “I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it’s already a situation, mentally, where it’s f—ed up. What happened to [Michael Brown] should’ve never happened. Never. But when we don’t have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don’t start with just a rally, don’t start from looting — it starts from within.”

“When we don’t respect ourselves how can we expect them to respect us” dumbest shit I’ve ever heard a black man say.

There are things in society that benefit a select few of us. fine…. But don’t put down the rest by saying they don’t respect themselves — AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) January 9, 2015

I really pray for the minds of the urban youth, I really do because I was once on the side of feeling like I wasn’t owed anything… — AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) January 9, 2015
Once on the side of feeling like black people ain’t shit because that’s what America and my social studies textbooks taught me

Becoming an adult and doing my own research has REALLY opened up my fucking eyes, and I get upset to know that….. — AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) January 9, 2015
There are still young black kids in our public schools being indoctrinated with the same shit they pumped into my head.

And fuck all this shit about erasing racial barriers and getting along… Why does white America think blacks even wanna be here?! — AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) January 9, 2015
I really just want my fucking reparations, and want you guys to stop killing my sons and telling my daughters they’re ugly.

So the convo ended with Lupe congratulating Banks on her record being in the NYC museum exhibit…
I would die to have my music in a museum exhibit celebrating the heights of black artistic achievement along side Basquiat’s. She did that
— Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) January 10, 2015
Oh yeah…Funny thing is she didn’t even know her own music was in the museum….I was the one who told her. I’m balanced now…namaste — Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) January 10, 2015
This was the best tweet by far though:
