Azealia Banks is copping flak online for taking shots at Eminem's music.

The contentious music artist, infamous for frequently incurring the wrath of the internet due to her scathing tweets against several rappers, took shots at Slim Shady in her latest rant. When she caught wind of one X user praising him under one of her tweets, she chose to voice her disdain for him:

"Nobody wanna hear that school shooter music," she started, noting that Eminem makes "disturbed" music.

She also claimed that he never writes songs that don't involve mental illnesses and also took shots at his s*x appeal, in addition to claiming Vanilla Ice is the best White rapper of all time.

Fans have since begun slamming her. Here's what blunt one user said on X, for instance:

"Azika omg can you do an alter ego that’s talented and makes music and isn’t a m*th user omg"

Droves are leaving scathing comments under Azealia Banks' tweet. Here are some more comments on X:

"You’re such an opinionated women my goodness. Do we ever have anything nice to say?" one user questioned.
"If only u could sell records as well as u poast, u wouldn't be so bitter!" another exclaimed.
"Azealia does not lie. Out here spittin truth bombs," someone claimed.
"He started out funny and then straight switched to angry," yet another chimed in.

Here's what the rest of X is saying:

"I agree 100%. He's the most overrated rapper of all time. He sounds like a corny white emo boy who has self-harm issues. And I hate his tone when he raps and the way he raps... It's so cheesy. He doesn't have a cool flow. Never liked him but he does have a few catchy songs," someone concurred.
"My God you’re so bitter about being a one hit wonder," another chimed in.
"That’s a good point. Vanilla Ice is underrated. Ice Ice Baby was such a banger. Marshall Mathers LP is legit though," one more claimed.
"You weren't even wrong until you got to Vanilla Ice," yet another echoed.

Scores online were visibly divided, though a large number of users took shots at Azealia Banks for her sentiments, noting that she seems to be jealous of Eminem's success.


Read Azealia Banks' seething remarks below:

In her tweet on X, Azealia Banks penned:

"Nobody wanna hear that school shooter music. This is hiphop, we don’t care or relate to white male anger and raps about wanting to kill your mother. 'Stan' is legendary for its own reasons but Eminem is just always too disturbed. One would think that at this point in his career he’d challenge himself to write even just ONE song that wasn’t about his mental illnesses."

She continued her seething remarks:

"Eminem is always going to be that mad white guy nobody wanna f*ck. When Eminem can make ONE a** shaker, and exhibit even 0.2 oz of s*x appeal we can revisit. But vanilla ice was and is still the best white rapper of all time. Argue with ur mom."

While it remains unclear if Eminem will be responding to Azealia Banks, it seems unlikely, given how he has been focusing on his family and grandparenthood.
