By now, Azealia Banks is likely more familiar to audiences for being embroiled in Twitter beefs and controversy than her actual music. Tuesday was no different, as the rapper called out former One Direction member Zayn Malik for copying looks from a music video of hers in his latest video. She hurled homophobic and racial insults at Malik in response, eventually taking it to Periscope.
What isn't a reach, is that a 4 track EP scored higher on metacritic than ur debut album. https://t.co/sOkypvXx9R

For the culture, Disney star Skai Jackson took to Twitter, with thoughts that most people probably had in mind.
Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little😶😂

Then a full-on Twitter battle took place between the 24-year-old rapper and 14-year-old Disney star.
@AZEALIABANKS When a no hip having 14 year old has more class than you. Worry about your career. Get one. ✌🏾

“Fix ur life” – Skai Jackson, 2016.
@AZEALIABANKS I had a career before Disney and I’m sure I will after! And I know I won’t turn out like you bitter and miserable! Fix ur life
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
Some of the tweets included Jackson reading Banks on how she portrays black women.
@AZEALIABANKS and I'm sure my mom did a wayyy better job then yours did! You give black women a bad name. I'll be praying for you🙏🏾💋
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
Skai advanced in the verbal jabs with pun of the year.
@AZEALIABANKS you got dissed by a one directioner how miserable can your life be?? Now have several seats Azealia Stanks!
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
The “Jessie” star single-handedly annihilated Banks on Twitter using IG stats against her.
@AZEALIABANKS a meme with 2.3 million Instagram followers. My memes are more relevant than you😂 now that’s sad. Now bye Twitter troll
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
But she wasn’t finished yet, bringing attention to the state of Azealia’s edges.
@AZEALIABANKS now that was corny ! 😂 go fix your edges before you come at me! #byenow Hide behind your weaves much?
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
At this point, Skai is doing her community a service by helping a fellow entertainer’s career.
@AZEALIABANKS this wasted conversation is helping your career ! Bye hunny 💋
— Skai Jackson ♛ (@skaijackson) May 11, 2016
The reactions to Jackson’s read of Banks quickly escalated and are absolutely hilarious!

Maybe Camp Disney is just breeding its stars differently nowadays?

Next time we turn to Disney Channel, Skai will have her own personalized introductory greeting.
