Azealia Banks has continued to court controversy on Twitter this time hitting out at female artists on drugs.
Talking on the social networking site, the rapper who first tweeted: "but who told her she's an artist", before going on to say that being "fashionable" and on "drugs" doesn't make you an artist. Immediately users who saw the Tweets began trying to speculate who exactly Banks was refferring to.
While she failed to name exactly who she was talking about it could be any number of the big female stars in music from Miley Cyrus, to Lady Gaga and Rihanna who have all openly discussed (and done) drugs in the public forum this year.
But.... Who told her she was an artist?

Being fashionable and on drugs doesn't mean you're an artist. It means you're fashionable and on drugs.

Meanwhile in a recent interview with Elle, Banks has reffered to herself as the female Kanye West, through the affinity that they both have the same star sign.
"Kanye is a genius," Banks said, "Kanye and I are like the same person but boy and girl. We're pulling from the same cloud, the same inspiration. We're both Geminis, we're the two premier avant gardists in hip hop music. It's just me and him. I think our consciousnesses are swirling around each other in some weird kind of way..."
