Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks had another Twitter showdown after the “212” rapper clarified her despise for the Aussie artist.

During an interview with New York radio rank Hot 97 on Thursday, Banks often became emotional as she detailed why she has issues with Azalea.

“I feel like in this country, whenever it comes to our things, like black issues or black politics or black composition or whatever, there’s always this undercurrent of kinda like a ‘f— you,” she said.

“That Iggy Azalea s— isn’t better than any f—ing black girl that’s rapping today.

“The Grammys are supposed to be accolades of artistic excellence,” she added. “Iggy Azalea is not brilliant.”

She added that awards shows like the Grammys recognizing artists like Macklemore and Azalea sent a problematic message.

“When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is, ‘oh yeah you’re splendid, you’re incredible, you can do whatever you want to.

“And it says to black kids: you don’t have s—, not even the s— you made for yourself, and it makes me upset.”

The “Fancy” rapper got wind of Banks’ radio interview and fired back on Twitter.

“Special msg for banks: There are many black artists succeeding in all genres. The reason you place of protection’t is because of your piss poor mind-set,” she started her Twitter rant.

“Your incapacity to be responsible for your own mistakes, bullying others, the incapacity to be humble or have self control. It’s YOU!

“You made your own unfortunate situation by being a bigot and don’t have the mental capacity to realize yet,” she continued. “Probably never will.”

“Now rant, make it racial! make it political! Make it whatever but I guarantee it won’t make you likable & THATS why ur crying on the radio,” Azalea tweeted.

Banks responded with some mad tweets of her own.

“Dear LordT, I Pray for this Clueless White Girl,” she responded.

“None of this will make sense to her in anticipation of she herself has children with a black man and has to deal with having black children in America,” Banks continued. “The interview was about things way beyond your mental capacity.

“Itchy Areola, you are so stupid and selfish to make any of this about yourself in particular. My tears had absolutely nothing to with you and everything to do with the high classes and the media in general.”

Banks wasn’t done discussing her interview and the Twitter fallout with Azalia. On Friday, she took issue with how the media was reporting on their feud.

“Look how the white media publication uses a terrible picture of me to sensationalize their point,” the rapper tweeted, along with a link to an article.

“Do you see how much of a general attack on me there is in person JUST BECAUSE i am a black woman speaking about things that matter to ME,” she added.

Soon after voicing her frustrations, Banks got props from a fellow composition star: Solange Knowles. She retweeted Banks’ comments and then voiced her support for her, tweeting her “thank you.”

“Signed, a composition fan. A black girl,” Knowles wrote.
