Azealia Banks Cancels 'Fantasea II'

Controversial rapper Azealia Banks has announced she is cancelling her upcoming album 'Fantasea II'. Making the announcement via Instagram story, she said she will release new music when she feels like it. 

The cancellation comes after an appearance on Nick Cannon’s MTV comedy series 'Wild ‘N Out'. Azealia claims she was unfairly treated on the show - a show which has the purpose of roasting guests - and the negative experience has left her reportedly unwilling to release the album. 

I did Wildin’ out today. There were tons of pre-planned colorist jokes and of course .... cry baby cried. Some little scrawny black Atlanta twink was prepared for me. They planned this - hit me on short notice, told me I didn’t have to participate in the coon ass freestyle battles ,(not my style) and I was to sing my song and go home. I show up and some guy who’s darker than me starts calling me ugly and being colorist, then all of a sudden a choir of the most disgustingly basic, local, cattle call “urban” pseudo comedic “FAT BECause You sit in a chair all day” greasy soul food induced south of the mason Dixon ,self hatred. Ass It#backwards, post-Jim crow , post traumatic slave disorder true self esteem less, Ward of the state CLOWNS with their low scale and highly UNimpressive resumes, start going off about how the beautiful Azealia Banks looks! I’ve never felt so much hate and rage for anyone else than I did in that moment. Yemaya was really on stage . Yemaya .....

Fans are understandably lax in sympathy for Azealia, with comments such as the below gaining traction on social media.  

One of the biggest bullies went on a show where they ROAST people and then wants to cry https://t.co/vzMggkqP4g
