Besides being known for penning lethal bars, Azealia Banks is also known for her never-ending list of celebrity beefs. Now, the rising hip-hop star is embroiled in a beef with pop titan Lady Gaga and recently accused the “Applause” singer of stealing her music for her new album.
Earlier this week on Twitter, Azealia Banks accused Gaga of stealing a song called “Red Flame,” which will supposedly appear on Gaga’s forthcoming album, ARTPOP.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Banks then ended her diss by endorsing Gaga’s friendly pop rival, Katy Perry.
Team Katy.

Banks previously accused Gaga of stealing her style, claiming that Gaga stole her mermaid them for her “Applause” performance at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Banks was supposed to appear on Gaga’s new album, but after Banks’ public accusations of thievery were made, Gaga revealed that she’d pulled Banks from the album.
“She has a bad attitude,” Gaga said to a fan while appearing on “Good Morning America.”
