We take a look at one of the most controversial, successful female rappers in our modern times, the ever allusive Azealia Banks. She has courted controversy for her famous feuds, her quickness to post on her instagram stories and use of slurs against marginalised communites. The latest Dazed cover is surprisingly poetic and insightful and brings in a new age for Azealia Banks who never really went away.

Pop culture moments include discussions of the Hunger Games films turning 10, Emma Chamberlin selling DM's for 10,000 dollars (allegedly) and Sofia Coppola's daughter making her nepo baby debut on TikTok.
