"It's a full English album": Netizens give mixed reaction to Azealia Banks revealing she doesn't listen to K-Pop

Azealia Banks is making headlines again, this time for a comment that has left fans confused and angry. It started when she replied to a tweet on X regarding Lizzo's new album. And to everyone's surprise, she commented, saying, "I don't listen to K-Pop."

This quickly got attention, and not in a positive way. Lizzo's music has no connection with K-Pop. Yet, Azealia's comment left fans surprised.

Netizens were quick to call her out. Many pointed out that Lizzo's album is entirely in English. They questioned why Banks had brought up K-Pop in the first place.

Lizzo, just like herself, is an American rapper and singer. Netizens said it is disrespectful both ways. They believe she's not only insulting K-Pop, but also a fellow artist in the same industry as her.

Some people online thought it was just for the clout. She received a huge backlash for bringing K-Pop into this. The point cybercitizens are putting forward is that there was no need for her to even mention K-Pop. They believe she's doing it just to stir up some drama.

You are tr*sh, while Lizzo is thriving.

That is what someone replied to her comment. She received a lot of comments criticizing her statement.

Some were confused as to what she's talking about. They had no idea as to why she was even bringing up K-Pop, as the entire music is in English. They genuinely believe that she was misinformed, and it was not intentional.

There was another section of fans who were supportive of her comment. They expressed their dislike for K-Pop and thought what she said was absolutely correct and justified.

Overall, there has been a mixed reaction, and the drama is not over yet.

Azealia Banks and her History of Controversies around K-Pop

This is not the Azealia Banks and K-Pop controversy. In 2023, Azealia Banks made headlines and faced severe backlash for calling K-Pop artists "fruity K-Pop weirdos".

can we all pretty please tell these fruity k-pop weirdos to get out of here with their ghost white bleach b*oties and tr*sh Michael jackson choreo? The k-pop boy bands are just a bunch of twerkin Tw*nks.

She was quite outspoken and put forward her opinion without thinking about how it might turn the entire internet against her.

Talking about Lizzo, this isn't Azealia Banks' first time commenting on her. In 2023, Banks made some derogatory remarks about her appearance and talent.

She acknowledged her past behavior and said,

I was having a conversation last night and realised that I owe Lizzo a huge apology for popping so much sh*t.

But in the same breath, she attacked another artist, Busta Rhymes, criticizing his appearance and lifestyle.

Netizens believe this is a pattern she follows just to stay relevant.
