Now, the American has returned to Twitter to defend her actions saying she was âangryâ.
In a post which she captioned âThoughts on everythingâ the 24-year-old said âI said what I said to Zayn because I was angry. He felt as if he was too good to acknowledge me yet not good to copy me creativelyâ.

She then continued writing âI had to remind him that weâre both in the same boat in this industry and people of colour by reminding him that no matter what you may think of yourself the world still sees you as âotherâ. As they see me.â
Despite the tweets it didnât take long for the outspoken star to have her say on the matter once again. In a series of tweets, she claimed she was âresisting the urgeâ to say more terrible things and then wrote âBut obviously Iâm insanely f*g talented and have already lowered myself to the levels of ppl who donât even deserve to share the same (sic).
The Twitter storm all kicked off when Azealia laid into the former One Direction man for after believing he had copied her music video. After Zayn wrote a tweet, the rapper took offence and began her disgusting rant.
Azealea responded saying âTrying to make myself know but Iâm still known as the token sand n***a from 1D.â
"Keep sucking this young rapunxel dk you hairy curry scented b*h. Imma start calling you dirty b*h. You a dk rider for real. Ride this d**k until the wheels fall off Punjabâ. (sic)
Despite Zayn telling her his tweet wasnât actually aimed at her, she continued her vile rant saying âDo you understand that you are a sand n****r who emulated white boysâ renditions of black male hood?â
Despite her response, it seems the rapper is yet to apologise for her behaviour.
