Kanye West, Kim Kardashian are ‘aggravating the black people at the expense of dragging their outrage’: Azealia Banks

Azealia Banks on Wednesday tore into Kanye West and his wife, Kim Kardashian, after West tweeted about President Trump.

In a post on Instagram, Banks accused the couple of angling for clicks while “aggravating the black people at the expense of dragging their outrage.”

Banks, who is a singer, also noted that West has new albums that will be released soon and said West “will never be president” and Kim Kardashian will “never ever be the First Lady. Give it up sis.”

No @kimkardashian Kanye is not ahead of his time. I said alllll of these things during the election. Y’all are aggravating the black people at the expense of dragging their outrage into more clicks/streams etc for whatever Kanye is about to drop. Outrage is internet engagement algorithm 101, y’all are not slick. Nothing at all profound, necessary or eloquent about anything your husband says. I wish you would make him read a book cover to cover before you send that black man into a world of white people with such base level theories as well as his very limited vernacular as pertaining to any of the pseudo-intellectual things he tries to say. Kanye will never be the president and you will never ever be the First Lady. Give it up sis.

West roiled the Internet on Wednesday, when he told his more than 18 million Twitter followers that he doesn’t agree with everything Trump does, but he still loves him.

“Thank you Kanye, very cool,” Trump responded.

Amid backlash, Kardashian defended her husband, saying that people should be “able to have their own opinions.”
