Azealia Banks has said some things about Nicki Minaj

  • March 14, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Demure rapper Azealia Banks doesn't think demure rapper Nicki Minaj paved the way for the current crop of "urban female artists".

Talking to Vibe magazine, she said: "I don't think the door was ever closed for urban female artists. There has always been a female killing it." Banks listed Eve as an example.

"Plus all the other altern­at­ive chicks like M.I.A. and [Santigold]. I don't think Nicki neces­sar­ily opened the door for anyone else but herself," she continued.

Despite calling Minaj "mad sexy" and wanting a duet in the future, Banks isn't a massive fan of Minaj's style, adding: "I think she's talented enough to sustain a very fruitful career without the ugly wigs and ugly costumes."
