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.

NNORDY

 

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums.

Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
