“I would have sued the fake basquiat dreads right off jay’s head.”
Azealia Banks would have attempted to break Beyoncé’s soul (and bank account) if the latter sampled her on her on 2022’s reference-heavy Renaissance.
“She knew better,” the recording artist wrote in an Instagram comment, responding to a fan who suggested that Beyoncé should’ve interpolated some of Banks’ beats for the dance record.
“Because I would have sued her, Sony, columbia, parkwood, tidal AND blue ivy. I would have sued the fake basquiat dreads right off jay’s head. I’m not the one.”

Banks’ comment came one year after Kelis went public with her frustrations over Beyoncé and The Neptunes for sampling her 2003 song “Milkshake” on Renaissance cut “Energy,” even though The Neptunes — comprised of producers Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo – also worked on “Milkshake.”
Banks’ discography includes several singles and one full-length studio album, 2014’s Broke With Expensive Taste, which reached No. 30 on the Billboard 200.
Still, she hasn’t notched a song on the Billboard Hot 100 across her 11-year career, though her breakout tune “212” reached No. 12 in the United Kingdom.

While she has built a steady fanbase, Banks is also often associated with her public feuds, including past foes like Grimes and Iggy Azalea, while she’s also criticized Lady Gaga after the pair reportedly collaborated on an unused Artpop album track in 2013.
In 2021, Grimes spoke about her beef with Banks, revealing that she wrote a song, “100% Tragedy,” about “having to defeat azealia banks when she tried to destroy my life,” she wrote in a Discord chat.
