Lily Allen says she was helped "find her voice" by her feud with Azealia Banks.

The 'Hard Out Here' singer admits that her song-writing "sounded terrible" during her four year hiatus from music, but claims her Twitter spat with the '212' hitmaker - which started after the New York rapper called her children "ugly" - inspired her to pen new material.

Lily, who has daughters Ethel, two, and 15 month old Marnie, with husband Sam Cooper, told The Sun newspaper: "I tried to write through my pregnancy with my youngest, but the hormones were really weird and it was just really forced and sounded terrible.

"Then it wasn't until I stopped breastfeeding, six months on Azealia tweeted me on Twitter, that I was like, 'Yes you know who I am.' "

However, Lily insists the harsh comments all contributed to her comeback record 'Sheezus'.

She explained: "I found my voice again then, I just bashed it all out. It was like two years of writing before I found it."

Well, you obvious have never listened to Lily's music as, thats main appeal that has allowed her to sell millions of records WW including in coutries where her singles never charted higher than #80.

She's giving her way too much attention.

Its hard to stan for both but I sorta feel like no-one is right in this situation. Azealia started it, but Lily continues to egg it on. But, what I do know is the only one thats benefitting from it is Lily.

Originally posted by gloamingtheplain It makes sense. When someone tries to put your work/family/yourself down, you go back and show them you can do everything better than them.
