Azealia Banks has posted about being raped on her Instagram story and has since then deleted the posts.
Her story on Instagram started with the claim: “Lowkey just got raped. I feel like dirt.” She was with a man when she says she was drugged and put in a difficult position.
Her Instagram story continues with Banks blaming herself for what happened and expressing the desire to take a break from releasing music in order to deal with her trauma. In her story, she says “I can’t even look at music right now. I don’t want to let anyone own. I’m going to delete all my accounts because I’m embarrassed. I’m gonna delete everything, and I guess I’ll just come back when I get it together. I just feel really broken down- just when I’m rebuilding myself as an artist. I don’t know how to face y’all.” Recently Banks has released her single “Anna Wintour” and had planned to release Fantasea II: The Second Wave later half of 2018.
