Azealia Banks has never been one to hold her tongue, no matter how controversial the topic, and via her Twitter account she has struck again. The Harlem native announced today that she’ll be voting for Donald Trump in the November presidential election, because he’s the only candidate she feels has what it takes to “bust up big business,” and it “takes sh*t to know sh*t so we may as well, put a piece of sh*t in the White House.” Here’s a piece of her full Twitter announcement.
Ok so, I think I’m ready to admit that I’m going to vote for Donald Trump.

I think Trump is the only one who truly has the balls to bust up big business. Hilary is too tied in with them and Bernie has no clout.

The other candidates are simply … “Them hoes over there” #thots

Just because Hilary Clinton and Bernie sanders say nice things about minorities doesn’t mean they actually mean them

Politicians have been saying “nice” things about colored folks and we’ve still been getting fucked.

Banks went on to express her true feeling on what it is to live in America and chase the elusive “American dream”: “Just how this web of lies and oppression has spawned itself into this global influence and made people proud to be a part of it.” You can read her full rant–and her replies to the people that have subsequently trolled her–here.
