Azealia Banks brands Zayn Malik a ‘faggot d**k rider’ in latest homophobic rant

Rapper Azealia Banks has attacked former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, branding him a “faggot” and a “dick rider” in her latest Twitter tirade.

Banks, who has not released a successful single in four years, previously defended using the word ‘faggot’, claiming it is not a gay slur.

The singer is known for her high-profile anti-gay Twitter tirades – though she claims she cannot be homophobic because she identifies as bisexual.

Writing about former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, she said: “LOL @ZAYNMALIK IS A FAGGOT”.

When Malik posted a tweet appearing to mock Banks’ comments, the rapper went into full meltdown – continung to refer to the singer as a “faggot” while sending racist abuse to Malik, who is a Muslim.

Referring to him as a “sand nigga”, she added: “imma start calling you punjab you dirty bitch.

“you a dick rider for real for real. Ride this dick until the wheels fall off Punjab.”

Claiming Malik had leaked her phone number, she added: “u were the only paki in the group and you knew you were there for a reason.”

“your mother is a dirty refugee who won’t be granted asylum.”

She previously defended her homophobic tirades.

Banks insisted: “You can be a straight faggot… Faggots are men who want to bring women down, fuck with their heads, control them.”

On another occasion when she was challenged on her views, she claimed: “even if i am a homophobe… so wat? [sic] i still make more $ than u”.

However, Banks now insists that it is impossible for her to be homophobic, because she is bisexual.

She wrote: “Why do gay men think everything I post about being gay is about them?! GIRLS ARE GAY TOO. I LIKE VAGINAS.”
