Azealia Banks has stormed the headlines this week after her racist and homophobic Twitter rant at Zayn Malik. Banks was scheduled to perform at Hackney’s Born & Bred festival in June but was subsequently dropped by Rinse FM for her offensive tweets.
Now, according to the Metro, the Home Office is looking into Banks after spending last night (may 11) “studying” her tweets.
Although it doesn’t comment on individual cases, the Home Office said: “Coming to the UK is a privilege, and we expect those who come here to respect our shared values.
The Home Secretary has the power to exclude an individual if it considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conductive to the public good or if their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds.”
