Azealia Banks wants to collaborate with Zayn Malik

Well, this is a turnout for the books.

Less than six months after she launched a vile, racist tirade against Zayn Malik, Azealia Banks has revealed that she hopes to collaborate with the former One Direction star someday.

Hmm, something tells us that this ship has well and truly sailed.

Azealia recently apologised to Zayn for her horrific, unprovoked Twitter attack in an open letter, telling the MailOnline: “I actually apologised a couple of times, but I don’t think it got through to people. I think when the situation was still so fresh, people weren’t just not wanting to hear it.

"I guess I didn’t give the apology I thought people could really hear because there was just so much going on.

"And now that the coast is clear, I thought, ‘Let me tell you guys again what I meant, I’m very sorry’.”

And she has now dropped the collaboration bombshell, explaining: “I definitely would love to collaborate with Zayn. From here, I watched the Naughty Boy thing and I have always seen where he’s going.

"He’s definitely helped him get that sound, that sound that’s different but still cool, very relevant but it’s different and it’s new and special - which is something I think I do very well.”

Azealia sparked outrage back in May when she took to her social media page to attack Zayn; it all started when he tweeted: “No lies… I see you reaching but I don’t care. My @’s too good for you.”

American rapper Azealia immediately thought that he was referencing an Instagram post that she’d made where she compared his new music video for ‘Like I Would’ to one of her own, and her response was to bombard the star with cruel messages for the rest of the night.

She wrote: “Dude, I make better music than you. Simmer down with that fake white boy rebellion and that wannabe beiber swag. lol u a b*tch n*gga for even responding like that. Keep sucking this yung rapunxel d*ck u hairy curry scented bitch.

“Imma start calling you punjab you dirty b*tch.

"You a d*ck rider for real for real. Ride this d*ck until the wheels fall off Punjab. [sic]”

An hour later, without Zayn responding, the rapper continued: “Lol u were the only p*ki in the group and you knew you were there for a reason.

"You were the the token brown boy. All those white boys in 1D disrespected you and made you their PET.

"You were only apart of 1d to draw brown attention. You are and ALWAYS will be a TOKEN to the UK. [sic]”

She then retweeted a selfie of Zayn multiple times, adding a derogatory caption each time, including: “'I eat sand for breakfast and suck d*ck for dinner’[sic]”.

Azealia then called Zayn a “f*ggot” and his mother a “dirty refugee”.

Zayn didn’t respond to Azealia’s vile abuse until hours later, where he rather calmly replied: “Why you been saying nasty things about me ? I wasn’t talking about you lol ?”

That wasn’t enough to appease the rapper though and she continued to tweet abuse at the star, with Zayn not responding or publicly commenting on the attack again.

Azealia ended up having her Twitter account suspended and is currently embroiled in a feud with Hollywood actor Russell Crowe, who she alleges physically assaulted her even though eye-witnesses have denied that this is the case.
