Twitter War: Azealia criticizes RIhanna's 'Work,' Azealia included in the American Music Prize's shortlist

By

While fans all over the world have been enjoying Rihanna's newly released music video 'Work' featuring Drake, rapper Azealia Banks, who claimed to have worked with Rihanna, was dismayed.

Banks ignited a clash in her Twitter posts. Again.

Banks claimed in a deleted post, she burlesqued Rihanna's new album as a pale imitation of Beyonce's 2009 Baby Boy video.

'Work video reminds me of baby boy video with Sean Paul except not as fly,'she posted.

'Me watching the mediocrity that is the music industry 2016,' she wrote, sharing a photo of a woman looking bored while smoking.

"Music is honestly so f-king trash and boring. Let's start a f-king beef and make s-t interesting. All these f-king pill popping divas doing the LEAST and the s-t is boring. Get these hoes a coffee and a pair of boxing gloves."

The outspoken artist called for more real music.

'Bring out the real artists!' she added.

Azealia then had some harsh words for the music industry in general.

Though Azealia may think the song is nothing more than noise from a "pill popping diva," the single has gone on to become Rihanna's 14th Billboard Hot 100 hit - and even knocked Michael Jackson out of the top three for most Billboard Hot 100 hits.

Azealia has previously gotten into Twitter feuds with musicians Iggy Azalea, T.I, Action Bronson and Erykah Badu, and Nicki Minaj.

This isn't the first time Banks has attacked Rihanna. In December, Banks tweeted a series of cryptic messages aimed at the singer after she cut her out of the final version of "Anti," according to Hollywood Life.

"These girls seek me out, ask for my help, then get intimated when they find out how easy it is for me to re-create and re-vamp their sound," she tweeted. "Like, I would really rather not be approached to collab, especially if everyone is going to chicken out. Lol."

Meanwhile, the debut album of Azealia is one of the twelve recordings shortlisted for the inaugural American Music Prize.

This list featured Azealia Banks' Broke with Expensive Taste, Banks' Goddess, Benjamin Booker's self-titled set, Bully's Feels Like, Chris Stapleton's Traveller, Ex Hex's Rips, Kamasi Washington's The Epic, Leon Bridges' Coming Home, Mikky Ekko's Time, Natalie Prass' self-titled debut, Shamir's Ratchet and Tweedy's Sukierae.
