In a text posed uploaded to her page, she wrote: “Now that the immediacy of the infamous incident has worn off, I’ve had sometime to decompress & take a more rational assessment of things.

Azealia Banks on stage
The star’s personal Twitter account was shut down after she uploaded the insulting picture post about the Pillowtalk singer.
It showed images taken from both their videos and she accused him of stealing ideas from her Yung Rapunxel video for his track, Like I Would.
She wrote: “Damn Zayn be mood boarding the s**t out of me… I’m not mad about this though. Zayn is a cutie pie.”
The image also went out on her Twitter page and although Zayn didn’t respond directly to her, he wrote: “No lies… I see you reaching but I don’t care.”
She replied: “Dude, I make better music than you. Simmer down with that fake white boy rebellion and that wannabe Bieber swag.”
But it was his final retort of, “My @’s too good for you,” that got her gloves off and her claws out as her racist and homophobic remarks began – and didn’t stop.
She wrote: “You a d*** rider for real for real. Ride this d*** until the wheels fall off Punjab.”
Then there was absolutely no stopping her as she continued: “What isn’t a reach is that a 4 track EP scored higher on metacritic than ur debut album,” before posting a photo of Zayn and tweeting as though she was him, “trying to make myself known but I’m still known as the token sand n****from 1D”. She then accused Zayn, of giving his number out to fans.

A music industry source told The Sun: “Her music was provocative and critically acclaimed and her 2011 breakthrough track, 212, is still a club anthem. But now she seems to be employing a troll strategy to get people talking about her.
“It’s working in the short-term because she’s in the news but it is overshadowing her as an artist.”
