Azealia Banks, who has a new mixtape and a video to promote, is pissed about Lemonade. In a lengthy (and possibly still ongoing) series of tweets, she called out Beyoncé for appropriation, weakness, and capitalism. But that wasn’t her first reaction. Initially, she loved the video. It’s quite a journey that Banks takes us on.
She opened her tweets by agreeing with Piers Morgan and things went from there. We’ll embed below, so you can read the highlights for yourself.

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

— BRUJA DEL BLOQUE (@AZEALIABANKS) April 24, 2016
We guess she had those mushrooms and changed her mind. It’s quite an about face. Banks, whose new mixtape is named SLAY-Z after Beyoncé’s husband, has a video. Did we mention the video? There’s a video. We’ll post it below, so you can watch her video.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
