Azealia Banks has a lot to say about comedian Dave Chappelle’s recent Netflix special, “The Closer.”
The outspoken rapper took to social media to call Chappelle out as well as Louisiana artist, Boosie Badazz.
“Dave Chappelle and Lil boosie are both entirely too grown and entirely too black to be this concerned about other people’s sex lives. It’s highkey embarrassing. Dave Chappelle is also about four years too late to the transphobia outrage attention grab.” she wrote.
Banks continued: “As far as Dave Chappelle goes… you are more than obviously attracted to transwomen. And that is okay! Life is short, Explore!”
Chappelle has denied claims of being transphobic as well as reports that he’d refused to sit down and speak to members of the trans community.
“It’s been said in the press that I was invited to speak to the transgender employees of Netflix and I refused. That is not true — if they had invited me I would have accepted it, although I am confused about what we would be speaking about,” he said in a video posted to Instagram. “I said what I said, and boy, I heard what you said. My God, how could I not? You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix. It seems like I’m the only one that can’t go to the office anymore.”
A few years back, it was Banks that was accused of being transphobic. Last year, she was booted from Twitter for a second time following a series of allegedly transphobic and homophobic remarks.
“CANCEL ALL THESE DUMB—S LUXURY TRANSGENDER HEALTHCARE’ RIGHTS’ AND REDIRECT THE CASTRATION FUNDS TO THE LATINO FARMERS WORKING TO ACTUALLY FEED ANY OF US THROUGH THIS CRISIS,” she tweeted.
She continued: “THEY DESERVE ACCESS TO THE TRUMP COVID TREATMENTS MORE THAN ANY OF YOU A—HOLES NEED TO CHOP YOUR C—KS OFF AND GET BREAST IMPLANTS AND HORMONES. THIS IS BULLS—T.”
