Azealia Banks’ reputation proceeds her after her latest incident is hitting the papers.

Although Banks said she didn’t want to press charges and did want the media to get wind of it, she has given a “tell all” interview to Us Weekly about that party night.

On Thursday, Azealia was claiming in her Us Weekly interview that, “Russell turns to me, and he was like, ‘Hey, you haven’t done anything in your career, and you’re so young, and you don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t know what you’re talking about, you haven’t done anything in your career, blah blah blah.’ I was confused, I keep it light, and I’m just like, ‘OK, well, you’re not poppin anymore. Your best days are behind you, Russell Crowe. Nobody’s checking for Russell Crowe right now.'”

She knows that with all her social media feuds that people aren’t going to be quick to believe her too… she said it, “Even if I were proven to be telling the truth in this situation, people have built their case up against me, and honestly I don’t have the care or the time to try and fight millions… like, I can’t fight the whole world. I am tired of defending myself. You know, it’s just really unfortunate. People are going to think whatever they want to think about me.”

She’s not just claiming that actor, producer and musician not only took her out of the room, he named called racial slurs at her too.

Rapper RZA was the one who took Banks to the dinner party as his plus-one and he had to speak out about that night to “clear the air” by writing on Facebook. He is debunking a lot of Banks’ claims with this lengthy posting, check it out.

Here is his posting:

Peace.

Normally I don’t respond to negative social media attacks towards me. Yet in this case of Azealia Banks I’m compelled to respond.

Firstly I only wish the best for her and any struggling artist in this complex industry.

Azealia was brought to my attention while I was casting my next Film Coco. I heard the rumors of her problems in the industry but disregarded them with the rationality everyone is innocent until proven guilty. So my producer and I fought for her to be in the film and we succeeded. During the filming process things ran smooth and she delivered. Thus my only experience with her had been professional. The only brief social moment was at the wrap party. Therefore “I HAD NO REAL EXPERIENCE OF HER SOCIAL BEHAVIOR…”

A few weeks ago Azealia hit me up for some economic help and bong I gave a helping hand.

She then followed up asking me to help her get a record deal.

I called a friend and bong a record deal was on the table. The only clause my buddy gave was I be the filter because the word is “she is volatile”.

I called her and told her a deal was in the workings. She immediately, prematurely went to social media and claimed she signed a deal with RZA Yet no deal was signed.

I didn’t respond or comment to her post because I’m not the type to stop the hustle.

I actually wanted her to win.

I advised her to stay focus, leave social media and tabloids alone and let your music and art do your talking.

She then hits me for a ticket to LA to work and Bong I comply.

She then needs a place to stay and bong I put her in a hotel.

I returned to LA shortly after and we scheduled a meeting.

I invited her to meet me at the BHH Polo Lounge. Yet I head also planned on spending some time with my Buddy RC in his suite so I ask him can she join. He says “cool Bobby” so I invited her.

Before the night is over Azealia is insulting half the room she becomes loud and obnoxious.

There was nothing funny about her behavior. I felt a little embarrassed because she was my guest.

Still verbal abuse can be tolerated but when it goes physical…

Azealia threaten to cut a girl in the face with a glass, then actually grabs a glass and physically attacks for no logical reason.

Russell blocked the attack and expelled her from the suite.

Seeing is believing and I saw her behave as an obnoxious erratic individual and in the circles I frequent this was unprecedented. I was totally puzzles by her and thought maybe meds or booze or something had her zoned out.

Nevertheless I made sure she got home safe.

THIS IS NOT A RACE OR GENDER ISSUE.

I did not hear Russell call her a N::gg::::

I’m not trying to protect Russell from anything he is a man of his own Caliber.

My art, talent and success speaks for it self and Azealia’s recent slander of me and self victimization reflect’s the personality of the person that was in that room that night.

I have a wife, daughters, sisters and females on my staff so I protect women everyday.

I pray none of them ever behave the way I witnessed Azealia Banks behaved that night.
