Azealia Banks has lashed out at The 1975 frontman Matty Healy and warned Taylor Swift to steer clear of him in a scathing rant.
The rapper, who is no stranger to feuding with celebs online, took to her Instagram Story this week to call out the 'Love It If We Made It' singer. Here's just some of what she had to say:
So, for some background, Matty has found himself in the centre of some controversy recently regarding rapper Ice Spice.

During an appearance on the Adam Friedland Show, Matty laughed along as the podcast hosts made jokes about Ice Spice and joked about what Healy should say when sliding into her DMs.
Parts of the episode were so offensive that it was eventually removed from both Apple and Spotify - though it is still available on YouTube.
In April Matty did apologise for the upsetting comments during a The 1975 gig in New Zealand, telling the crowd: "I just feel a bit bad, and I'm kind of sorry if I offended you. Ice Spice, I'm sorry."
But, in a recent interview with the New Yorker, Matty appeared to take it back, insisting that what was said in the podcast episode doesn't 'actually matter' and that anyone who found it offensive was 'deluded'.

He had told the publication: "You’re either lying that you are hurt, or you’re a bit mental for being hurt.
"It’s just people going, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.'"
That comment didn't really go down well - particularly not with Azealia Banks, who isn't someone you want on your bad side.

Taking to her Instagram Story, she asked: “Does Matt Healy know that no one actually thinks The 1975 make good music and that he’s a lame poser with a trash cliche band name that actually means nothing.
“He’s clearly so pressed that a Black girl who knows nothing about him or his music is making more moves and money than him. Does he know that Black women are more coveted [in] today’s industry because there’s a BIG BUSINESS in female rap."
And that was just the beginning.
The '212' singer then launched into a rant about her opinions on The 1975 in general (spoiler: she doesn't like them), and Healy's appearance.

"You need a Banana Bag liquid IV, you need a strong green salad, you need some water, you need to wash your d**k, and you need to wash your f**king nasty wet rat hair, honey," she said, seemingly directing that comment at Matty.
She also had a message for Taylor Swift, who has recently been romantically linked to Matty - much to the dismay of Swifties everywhere.
Neither Taylor nor Matty have confirmed the rumours, but Azealia appears to believe them.
"Taylor, this guy is gonna give you scabies," she wrote.

"He's not on your level of powerful p*** you worked HELLA hard to build."
She continued: "Ugh this dude is a full incel.. You cannot be letting him climb the rich white c**chie mountain sis."
Yikes.
Matty hasn't yet responded to Azealia's posts.
UNILAD has contacted representatives for Azealia Banks and Matty Healy for comment.
