Azealia Banks is in the news again, and it’s for all the wrong reasons.
The controversial rapper was arrested for allegedly biting a female security guard on Wednesday night.
Page Six via the NYPD, is reporting that Banks was escorted out of club Up & Down in the Meatpacking District “when she became verbally abusive, pushed the female guard and then bit her on the breast causing swelling and redness.”
This time, spies said the trouble began when Banks arrived with an invited guest for the birthday of one of the club’s owners, Ronnie Madra. “It was an invite-only party,” said a witness. “You needed a stamp to get in.” When Banks tried to enter the private downstairs party and was told she had to go back upstairs to get a stamp, an altercation broke out with bouncers.
“There was a female security guard and a male guard,” a source said, adding they “didn’t recognize Banks” — who began “screaming at the top of her lungs, cursing” and using racial slurs. A club owner noticed the commotion and “gave her a pass to let her in,” but “once she was 15 feet inside, she starts to curse at the guards again, explaining who she was, that she’s on Rihanna’s album.”
Banks became angry after security reportedly didn’t recognize her.
