Like she would hit me and my sisters with baseball bats, bang our heads up against walls, and she would always tell me I was ugly.

Azealia Banks Net Worth

Azealia Banks is one of the richest Rapper from United States. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, Azealia Banks 's net worth $3 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)

She was a student at LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan.

She has chosen to adopt an alter-ego name “Yung Rapunxel,” a name she began calling herself because of a long weave she wore when working at Starbucks as a teen.

AllMusic characterizes Banks as “a stylish vocalist who combines hardcore hip- hop, indie pop, and dance music.” Meanwhile, The Guardian’ s John Robinson considered Banks’ style “an appealing blend of Missy Elliott and dance-pop.” In regards to her musical style, Banks has frequently been noted for the use of profanity in many of her songs, particularly her reclamation of the word “cunt”, examples including her debut single “212”, in which she uses the word more than ten times, or other songs such as “Fierce”, in which she refers to herself as the “cunt queen”. Banks attributes this to her upbringing in Harlem, saying, “…I’m from Harlem. I went to art school; I grew up with the cunts. And that term doesn’t come from me! People think I invented it, but I didn’t. To be cunty is to be feminine and to be, like, aware of yourself. Nobody’s fucking with that inner strength and delicateness. The cunts, the gay men, adore that. My friends would say, ‘Oh you need to cunt it up! You’re being too banjee.’ Banjee means unrefined and rough. You need your cunts: they fix your hair for you and do your makeup. They give you confidence and give you life.” She is also known for her often fast-paced rapping, or “flow”. In a review of Banks’ debut EP 1991, Chris Dart of Exclaim! found Banks’ rapping speed “remarkable”, commenting that she “manages a feat that takes most rappers the better part of a career to master: the perfect marriage of bangin’, club-friendly beats and smart, crisply delivered lyrics”.
