I don't think she's truly homophobic, but just trying to press the buttons of people who are extremely sensitive and taking her too seriously. If no one else's career ended because of bad things they did, why should hers?

i dont think any artist's career would survive if they called someone a sand n**ger, called UK rappers monkeys, got into a beef with multiple celebrities (including a 14 year old), used homophobic slurs, and condemned an entire race of people. Even the most prestigious amount of white privilege could not stop a person career from diminishing especially if they said/did these things as frequent as azealia. Azealia gets a pass on the racism because she's black and a pass on everything else because she's talented.
Everyone was fine when she was attacking and threatening to kill white people but now that she has attacked a minority, a lot of people say that she's gone too far. If iggy's career can be diminished over a viral video and several offensive tweets then why cant azealia's (and she done and said worst things than iggy). And you have to admit, its annoying. Even if she were just trying to press people's buttons and intentionally offend people, its annoying and 24 hour trolls are not necessary nor needed
