After Vowing to “Slap Fire” Out of Lil Nas X, Azealia Banks Now Demands $1 Million & Apology from Matty Healy for Threatening to Slap Her Wig Off

Just weeks after making headlines for threatening to “slap fire” out of Lil Nas X for calling her a “bussy soap-selling chicken sacrificer,” Azealia Banks is seeking financial remedy from another music star for threatening to take similar action against her.

The latest in a saga that started last week, Banks has taken legal action (a cease and desist letter) against The 1975 singer Matty Healy in the wake of his threats of violence against her during a tussle on Twitter (now known as X).

The war of words started when Azealia declared “Charli XCX used to be so pretty” – remarks that triggered Matty as his bandmate George Daniel is engaged to the ‘BRAT‘ songstress.

“I think this makes you jealous cos you’re so talented but everything about you is a failure,” Healy said in now-deleted tweets. “Just rap bro.”

After Azealia responded with the inference that she could hire someone to do bodily harm to him, Matty replied in-kind.

“I’ll f—ing slap you so hard I’ll get a Guinness world record for the highest a rat some b-tch calls a wig has ever flown,” he shared at the time.

As his shocking remarks made global headlines, he took to Reddit to apologize – even claiming he felt “dreadful about how I acted violent – I think Azealia and all obvious flawed people all deep down have a heart and I hate that I have contributed to her mental fragility.”

“Your attacks against my client’s professional reputation, your overt racial epithets, and your most recent threats of physical violence against my client have been well-documented since you published them worldwide online (my client saved screenshots prior to you deleting your posts), and your attacks have now been republished in numerous press articles throughout the world,” said attorney Wallace E.J. Collins III for Azealia before asserting Healy’s deletion of tweets was “admission of guilt.”
