Rihanna, Banks feud over Trump

-

AZEALIA Banks has posted Rihanna’s cellphone number on Instagram amid a social media feud, and has slated the Work hitmaker for trying to use her fame to influence the public.

The 25-year-old singer embarked on a digital feud with Rihanna over the weekend, which saw her screenshot a picture of the 28-year-old vocalist’s personal contact details and share it with her almost 500 000 Instagram followers.

The 212 musician captioned the post: “Bombs away! (sic)”

However, Banks has since deleted the upload, and the number has been disconnect­ed.

This news comes after Banks slammed fellow celebritie­s for using their fame to “stir” and influence the public, following US President Donald Trump’s order to ban citizens from several countries from entering the US for the next three months.

Bajan star Rihanna spoke out against the new leader, and tweeted: “Disgusted! The news is devastatin­g! America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!”

To which Banks retorted: “As far as Rihanna (who isn’t a citizen, and can’t vote) and all the rest of the celebritie­s who are using their influence to stir the public, you lot really, really need to shut up and sit down.

“Stop chastising the president. It’s stupid and pathetic to watch. All of these confused people confuse other confused people.”

But Rihanna didn’t take the comment lightly and retaliated with an indirect comment about Banks, who recently claimed she was a witch and was involved in murdering chickens as part of a spiritual ritual.

Alongside a picture of Rihanna sporting just a black piece of fabric to cover her ample assets as she pouts for the camera, she wrote: “The face you make when you an immigrant. #stayawayfr­omthechick­ens #iheartnugg­ets #saveourhen­s. (sic)” – Bang Media
