Azealia Banks: "My mom became very abusive"
Quote:
Known for her outspoken lyrics and her Twitter wars, Azealia Banks is fast proving to be the most talked about female rapper and singer to emerge from Harlem.
And now the bisexual rapper is causing more controversy off the stage thanks to a scandalous Dazed & Confused cover which has been banned in no less than seven countries.
In the picture, which has already set Twitter aflutter, Banks can be seen inflating a raspberry coloured condom and is over the headline 'Azealia Banks blows up'.
The issue is not available on sale in Singapore, Dubai, Malta, Switzerland, India or Thailand because it is deemed too risqué.
In her candid interview with the magazine, Azealia didn't shy away from talking about anything, in particular her childhood.
Admitting that her family were not strapped for cash she said: 'We grew up in the hood, but we had some money. But I moved out when I was 14 to go live with my older sister, because my mom just had, well... issues.'
After my dad died, my mom became really abusive – physically and verbally. Like she would hit me and my sisters with baseball bats, bang our heads up against walls, and she would always tell me I was ugly. I remember once she threw out all the food in the fridge, just so we wouldn’t have anything to eat. It was like growing up a feral child, being raised by this person who was always yelling and screaming, hitting you and dragging you around and ****. Granted, she never had any drug or drinking problems – her house was clean, her hair was always done, and we had stuff – but she still ****ed me up real bad.’
And talking to Dazed & Confused she revealed that she has been very sexual from a young age.
She said: 'Growing up I was so curious about boys. I just loved them.
'I’d always get my recesses taken away for letting boys touch my butt in the lunch line I got in trouble for fooling around in school a lot.
'I just wanted to be touched, ya know? I just wanted to have sex.
'And my mom was always working so there was never anyone around to tell me no.'
