Azealia Banks’ vile Twitter tirade against Zayn Malik saw her booted off Twitter and dropped as the headline act for a London festival last month. 

And the 212 rapper is now attempting to undo some of the damage her racist and homophobic tweets caused to her career. 

She’s apologised for her actions once again and has vowed to stop using the word ‘f*****’ in a new Facebook post. 

The 24-year-old, who issued her first real apology four days after her initial rant, says she now sees that not everyone is as ‘thick-skinned’ as she is. 


‘Ok, I’m never saying the word f***** ever again,’ she wrote. 



‘The amount of people that get hurt when I use the word vs. the amount of people I’ve said it to are just not worth it. 

‘Honestly… This isn’t a cop out, it’s just me realising that words hurt.’ 

Warning: Contains offensive language! 

The Harlem-born star went on to say that her infamous rants create the wrong impression and she’s really ‘sweet’, ‘kind’ and ‘caring’ deep down. 

‘By using those words I paint a picture of myself that isn’t the true me,’ she added. 

She explained that she didn’t want her actions to cause her to ‘lose out on a chance to make people feel good and smile’. 

Azealia ended the message by saying sorry to her loyal fans for letting them down.

‘To end this note I want to SINCERELY apologise to my fans for having let so many of you down over the years. 

‘I know that you all want nothing else for me but to see me win, and I thank the many of you who saw the beauty in me and have stuck around this far.’ 

The US star has become famous for her Twitter feuds over the years, but her tirade against Zayn, who she accused of copying her video for Yung Rapunxel in his most recent video Like I Would, was her most offensive. 

She went on to lash out at Disney actress Skai Jackson after the 14-year-old commented that she needed to ‘simmer down’.
