Azealia Banks thinks Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj “make basic a** music.”

The 24-year-old rapper has lashed at the three stars, who have been embroiled in different feuds recently, in an unprovoked rant on Twitter and accused them all of being unoriginal.

Responding to Nicki and Miley's confrontation and the 'Anaconda' hitmaker's decision to bury the hatchet with Taylor on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (30.08.15), the 'Ice Princess' hitmaker tweeted: “Miley Cyrus HAS to know her shit is whack as f**k. It has to be a joke... Isn't she making fun of herself? Yes? No?

“Either way the s**t is trizzy as f**k and sucking up too much air.

“All of y'all b***hes are whack and make boring music and rip all ur styles off the downtown NYC girls

“It's so funny to wake up and see nicki and Miley or nicki and taylor fighting when you ALL make basic a** music. it's a ki !!!

“ITS A CONTEST OF THE BASICS. BASIC BASIC BASIC (sic)”

When a number of fans reminded her that she has previously praised Nicki, Azealia responded: “No shade, It just is. Just because I really enjoy someone's music doesn't mean that I don't enjoy mine more LOL.

“[Nicki] be trying her hardest to be on the same level with these white b***hes....like don't u get that these white girls are trying their hardest to be you? Why are u tryna be them? Idgi

“I know she [Nicki] knows she's better than them and IT MAKES ME SO MAD ...cause it sets a standard for basicness that other black girls follow!! not cool !!! (sic)”

She also targeted Beyoncé when another fan pointed out that the 'Partition' singer got Nicki to remix the track after originally recording it with Azealia.

She wrote: “I haven't been eating my skin bleaching tablets !!!!”
