Azealia Banks Regrets President Obama Comments

Azealia Banks’ recent interview with Billboard was filled with a number of interesting quotes, one of which happened to be a statement about her wanting to smash the current president, Barack Obama. After some time to consider her statements following the buzz made over the sound bite, the Harlem rapper now regrets the comment. As previously reported, Banks was quoted as saying she wanted to jump POTUS’ bones, “He’s so fine. Those big-ass white teeth and ears hanging off his head? I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I want to f– the President,” she stated. Now she is saying her words about Obama were just a little jokie joke. “Omg I was totally just joking and being silly in billboard about the prez I wasn’t actually being forreal,” she typed on Twitter. “No the part about the prez was not supposed to be in there I really wish I could take it back omg I was only joking,” she added.

This f*cker makes the left look bad. Even worse than Bill Maher or Lena Dunham could.

Musicians and actors say sensational stuff all the time for the fun and publicity of it. As soon as they do the same thing about something political it becomes a big deal and its somehow representative of "the left".

B.S. on both counts.

Like I said in another thread, she is a big mouthed nobody. Most young people see her as a joke because of her constant twitter fighting with other celebrities. She is basically a professional troll who nobody, of importance, really considers apart of the left.
