Now We Know Why Azealia Banks Wilded Out on 'Wild 'N Out'

Now We Know Why Azealia Banks Wilded Out on ‘Wild ‘N Out’
By Sydney Scott · Updated December 6, 2020
Looks like Azealia Banks’ recent outburst about her treatment on Wild ‘N Out may have been about being compared to Cardi B. A clip obtained by TMZ from the rapper’s episode shows the moment Banks stopped enjoying the jokes. During a game called “So Petty,” comedian DC Young Fly joked that the only reason Banks was on the show was because host Nick Cannon couldn’t book Cardi B. However, Banks wasn’t amused at all, calling the joke “anti-black.” “I didn’t think that was funny,” she adds in the clip.
Back in July, Banks slammed the Wild ‘N Out crew for making “colorist jokes.” In a since-deleted post on Instagram, the rapper said, “I did Wildin’ out today. There were tons of pre-planned colorist jokes and of course …. cry baby cried.” The rapper added that she felt the producers “planned this – hit me on short notice, told me I didn’t have to participate in the coon ass freestyle battles, (not my style) and I was to sing my song and go home.” Cannon later responded to the rapper’s comments on Instagram, writing “Don’t you hate when you create your own storms but forget your umbrella???” He added that “we are praying for you Queen.”

Don’t you hate when you create your own storms but forget your umbrella??? 🤦🏾‍♂️ @azealiabanks We are praying for you Queen 🙏🏾 #speedyrecovery #Healing She #Wildnout for real 😳 🤣 #Karma

A post shared by NICK CANNON (@nickcannon) on Jul 15, 2018 at 9:44am PDT

Of course, the moment blew up on social media, with many people commenting that Banks shouldn’t have gone on the show if she didn’t want to get roasted.

Nick Cannon gets roasted the worse on Wild N Out and he don’t cry. They talked about his failed marriage for how many seasons and he ain’t cry? Azealia Banks is just a typical “I feel personally attacked” ass Gemini.

And, others thought the rapper made valid points.

Azealia Banks discussed wild n’ out being disrespectful to her as a dark skinned black women & a day later I see a video of the Wild n out cast snatching off a black womans wig. Yeah. Okay.
