Looks like Azealia Banks won’t be getting in formation to buy Beyonce’s Lemonade anytime soon. Banks is just one of the celebrities who criticized Beyonce’s Lemonade calling her all but a traitor to black women. However, Banks did say in a series of tweets that the new album was bad for feminism and black women as a whole. We wonder how the Beyhive will react to that.
Though many found the album to be a revolutionary work of black feminism, Banks isn’t one of them and labeled the Lemonade singer a “thief” and a “poacher.” She also continued to call the album the “antithesis of what feminism is.” Ouch—tell us how you really feel, Banks!
This heartbroken black female narrative you keep trying to push is the Antithesis of what feminism is

You keep crying over a man and perpetuating that sad black female sufferance and it’s Not good for what we’re trying to accomplish here

Banks also alludes to what she considers Beyonce’s stupidity for staying with Jay Z and singing about it after the alleged cheating references.
Banks can’t seem to make up her mind since she has a fair amount of tweets supporting Beyonce but then changed her tune.
“Just six months ago you told every black girl in the industry to ‘bow down’ now you want to stick up for black folk lol [sic]” Bank wrote, before adding: “Queens are supposed to lead, they don’t step on the spirits of the girls who come after them then to just try and take that same spirit.”
Banks continued her Twitter war with others who wanted like to clarify what her message is. She tweeted how Beyonce is bad for feminism, but then tweeted how feminism is a white woman’s invention and that it has nothing to do with black women and she doesn’t agree with it. Twitter followers aren’t the only ones confused now.
FEMINISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BLACK WOMEN. Feminism is a white woman’s invention. Which is why I don’t agree with https://t.co/C9LAoA0BU4

The singer has since calmed down and has given Beyoncé a break from her diatribe, but who knows how long this peace will last.
