I feel bad for Azealia. She is so talented and an actually interesting and boundary-pushing artist, she deserves so much better.
She's on her last thread of internet relevance and now that she's cancelling so many shows I'm afraid she won't be able to book anything at all anymore. She'll descend into Z-list mixtape artist hell.
NB is the reason Unapologetic was panned by critics.
I was mainly just talking about official singles, but yeah NB was controversial as a part of UA. The media didn't make that big a deal about it though, to my knowledge. The Birthday Cake Remix felt a lot more... publicly scrutinized.
