Azealia Banks Provides Update On Possible Iggy Azealia Collaboration

July 6, 2017. Leave a Comment

Harlem entertainer Azealia Banks yesterday  (July 5, 2017) on social media provided an update on the current status of a collaboration between herself and Australian rapper Iggy Azealea, whom she once famously feuded with and wished death upon.

While the reconciliation between the two is one nobody would have predicted three years ago when the feud was at its worst, Banks and Azealea share the commonality of seeing their popularity fall off a cliff because they both lack verbal filters and made a series of controversial statements that many viewed as unsupportable. In Banks’ case, her bigoted Twitter attacks on Zayn Malik were so severe she was kicked off the platform. As such, a collaboration would gin up a certain rubbernecking level of interest in their music, even if momentarily. Any long term upside is another story.

Despite the potential positives, Banks noted that while she was excited about the possibility of a collaboration, plans were not yet concrete. “Please let me clear up any misconception for anyone that took my words out of context: I am incredibly flattered and so excited about a future collaboration with Iggy,’ Banks wrote on Instagram. “Yes, she and I had our differences in the past, but we were so young and that was so long ago. She and I are both on a whole other level right now, and I have nothing but respect for her as a woman, an artist and a businesswoman. As such, I’m thrilled for the opportunity to work with her, or any other artist out there because I truly believe that united, we are stronger.” She added, “The deal is still in talks and we haven’t confirmed details or which song, but as soon as we do, I promise I’ll share with all of you!”

Banks was responding to Azealea’s July 3rd written Snapchat statement stating Banks would be included on her next album, Digital Distortion, originally slated to drop in June 2017. “Public Service Announcement, Azealia is going to be on DD. We are collaborating. Burn your wigs now or preserve them in your freezer for release day,” wrote Azealea.

Azealia followed up on on the same day on Twitter, writing that she understood that fans were taken aback by the announcement. “This has been something extremely negative for so long, if there is a way to make it positive and also be creative together, [I’m] here for it,” she wrote.

This unlikely reconciliation kicked into gear on June 21, 2017, when Azealea on Snapchat was inspired to state she no longer had any issue with Banks. “I just wanted to say fyi; re: A. Banks, call me crazy but girl; I don’t hate you. I don’t know you to hate you.”

XXL magazine followed up on Azealea’s olive branch with Banks, who commented, “I think a true reconciliation can happen once there is some acknowledgment of what hip-hop has been trying to tell her. I still don’t think she quite understands the effect her racial privilege and the socio-economic leverage that comes with it has on a marginalized group of women’s culture. Race aside, this is also a women’s issue. I hope that there will be a chance for us to have an open discussion about this, as I feel America and the world could really benefit from some candid discourse between two public figures about the world’s biggest sickness: racism. I wish for women of the future to be able to refer to this moment in women’s culture as an example of what can happen when people take time to understand.”

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
