Here’s a headline we weren’t expecting to read on a Tuesday morning: Controversial rapper Azealia Banks has reportedly been involved in a hotel room altercation with actor Russell Crowe.
Earlier this month it was revealed that Banks had signed a deal with RZA – who also happened to star in American Gangster with Crowe. When Crowe decided to throw an intimate bash at his Beverly Hills hotel room, Banks arrived as a plus one with the Wu-Tang Clan founder – and reportedly began criticising the music choice and saying that the box social was filled with “boring white men.”
Here’s where it gets nasty. When another guest began addressing Banks’ behaviour, she reportedly said “You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino shit.” Lord have mercy. Banks is then said to have raised a glass before Crowe put his Gladiator skills to use, bear-hugging Banks and removing her from the room.
Of course, this is all hearsay, and in a series of now-deleted Facebook posts, Banks claims she was racially and verbally abused, also stating that she has proof of her version of events:
Damn, this feels like Kanye West and Taylor Swift’s secretly recorded phone call again, except involving way weirder parties. We’ll have to wait and see these receipts to deduce which version of events proves true.
