Recently, the American musician Azealia Banks has been subjected to heavy repercussions after making various racist comments on the artists Lisa and K-pop by Blackpink in general.
In particular, returning on March 1, when a fan asked if he had any idea on the album just released by Lisa, “Alter Ego”, replied Azealia Banks, “I don’t listen to kpop”. While appreciating a song or a genre is often a matter of personal choice, many have encountered a problem with such a declaration, finding it to transport racist shades.
In particular, in the cast of Lisa, its entire album is in English, not in Korean, and the same female idol comes from Thailand, not from Korea. Even the artists who are not Korean, making it difficult to group his new album within the term “K-pop”. For many, this means that Azealia Banks is ignoring Lisa’s identity all together simply because she doesn’t like K-pop artists.
Furthermore, when these problems were raised by the fans, the Azealia banks not only refused to correct his initial statements, but also made humiliating comments on the K-Pop artists in general, calling them “garbage”.
“SIDEBAR: How the fuck are all these Garbage K-Pop stars who get all this love from the notoriously racist European fashion houses before the Pleora of Hiphop artists who have shown love, guiding their sales and immortalizing them in songs in the last three decades? “ The musician wrote, adding, “Especially when these K-Pop artists are largely producing American Hip-Hop music of Facsimile? Don’t you understand that the influence begins and ends with Black America LMAO? “

Azealia banks also made a bribe, saying it “Fashion + Europeanism as a joint package is in strong decline” Due to the ascent of Asian influences in culture, adding “The end of an era is very close and European + beauty is really losing the cultural war”.
All these comments led to accusations of racist and xenophobic banks with criticisms aimed at his floods in the citations.
