Azealia Banks Suspended After Vile Transphobic Tweets

Azealia Banks is always stirring the pot, ending up in headlines more frequently because of her controversial takes than for her music. While she remains a very talented artist, her divisive opinions have led her to be dropped by many of her fans and, this week, she crossed the line again.

The “212” rapper was tweeting about how she believes farmers deserve to be first-in-line for the stimulus package that Trump sends out but, in doing so, she decided to vocalize her thoughts about the trans community. Most notably, she stated that she does not support free healthcare for transitioning men and women.

“CANCEL ALL THESE DUMBASS LUXURY TRANSGENDER HEALTHCARE ‘RIGHTS’ AND REDIRECT THE CASTRATION FUNDS TO THE LATINO FARMERS WORKING TO ACTUALLY FEED ANY OF US THROUGH THIS CRISIS,” wrote Azealia Banks on Twitter.

She continued with even more disturbing statements, suggesting that trans individuals simply suffer from body dysmorphia and claiming that, if trans men and women can get free healthcare and surgery, then why shouldn’t cisgender women who want to enhance their bodies?

Her statements are all kinds of transphobic and it’s no surprise that she was suspended from using Twitter because of them.

This is not the first time that Azealia has shared such views. She has also been restricted from her social media accounts on more than one occasion.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
