It’s safe to say there is no love loss between Nick Cannon and Azealia Banks.
Friday (Aug 24), the now infamous episode of Wild ‘N Out featuring the artist aired on MTV. The episode included a segment called “So Petty,” where DC Young Fly called Banks “ugly” and suggested Cannon brought her on the show because he could not get Cardi B.
Banks visually offended by the comment, went on Instagram after the show and bashed DC Young Fly, and Cannon claiming the comments were anti-black and that she had felt uncomfortable. Then she threw some shots suggesting she should have joked about Cannon’s lupus.
The host of the show decided to give a big thank you to Azealia banks after learning that the show showed high ratings due to the controversy.
“In the words of our Forever First Lady Michelle Obama, “When they go low, we go High”. And I can honestly say I have great respect and admiration for @azealiabanks for coming back out and completing the show like a strong Queen and going High that day. Anyone who can even come on Wildnout and show a different side of themselves and have the courage to go up against some of the funniest, rawest, and most talented individuals in the game, says a lot about ones character.”
