Azealia Banks Twitter Beefs with Lady Gaga


Harlem rapper Azealia Banks accuses Lady Gaga of ripping off her Mermaid theme.
Twitter beefer/sometimes-rapper Azealia Banks has insinuated that Lady Gaga is copying the mermaid/under the sea themes from Banks’ 2012 Fantasea mixtape and Mermaid Ball shows. The claims stem from the clam shell bikini Gaga wore at the 2013 MTV VMAs and the following tweet Gaga posted prepping her fans for her September 1 iTunes Festival performance: “I will be providing a list of acceptable attire for #SwineFest throughout the week. Item 1: Seashells. Item 2: Seahorses 3: Starfish.”
Banks caught wind of the fashion tips and soon marked her territory, tweeting “@ladygaga hmmmm sounds alot like Azealia Banks’ mermaid balls.” Mother Monster then hilarious tweeted out a GIF of a crying Ariel from The Little Mermaid,” which Banks followed with, “Not picking a fight. Just all looks soo familiar…. To me.”
We’re glad to see that as of this writing, nothing got heated. But there are a few things to consider here. First, Gaga recently announced that her collaboration with Azealia will not be on ARTPOP, so there could be some tension in their relationship. Secondly, it’s not like the under-the-sea thing is a new look.
Botticelli, Peter Pan, seapunk, etc. They’re both cribbing, OK? Thirdly, Gaga was also accused of stealing mermaid ideas from Bette Midler a couple years ago.

Gaga did the mermaid look back in 2011 so Azealia needs to sit down and shut up. She's always starting shit for no reason. Besides like the article says the mermaid theme has been done WAY before Gaga AND Azealia.

Uhm... well I thought Walt created the look and used Ariel as his muse. Didn't Ariel rock that ish first? Wait! No, it was the chicks that appeared in the original Peter Pan movie. The one's that were giving Wendy shade. THEY rocked that under the sea look first. Just sayin....

actually Gaga was mainly inspired by the image of VENUS riding a clamshell after her birth..that is the look she is sporting...which a lot of people are not getting. She even has part of the famous painting on her ARTPOP cover
