Rapper Azealia Banks praises DeSantis leadership, says she feels ‘way safer’ in Florida than in Los Angeles

Singer Azealia Banks offered Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis her ringing endorsement in a new interview, proclaiming that she feels “way safer” living in the Sunshine State under the Republican’s leadership than she ever did in liberal California.

The “212” rapper, who relocated to Miami in 2021, weighed in on the potential 2024 GOP frontrunner as she recalled spending the pandemic in Los Angeles “isolated and scared,” surrounded by virtue-signaling wealthy liberals displaying “Black Lives Matter” signs at their homes and businesses.

“Every which way I turn there’s a Black Lives Matter sign, and then we’re watching swathes of Latino people die every day because they’re considered essential workers,” she said in a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian published last week. “I had to go because I can’t do this — either Covid was gonna kill me, or depression.

The 31-year-old Harlem native, who previously endorsed Donald Trump for president, said that in Los Angeles she felt like she needed a gun for protection, while in Florida people “mind their f—ing business.”

At first I thought she was being sarcastic. But glad to see she wasn’t

Takes guts for a black person to put themselves on the line like that.

I give my props.

WHAT! WHO said that? Get the blood hounds, she’s escaped from the plantation. Cancel her, BOYCOTT HER!

“a few moments later”

What we have here is failure to communicate. You got your mind right Banks!

AND, if she is making any substantial income, she just received a large tax cut. Kalifornia taxes the crap out of the high income bracket.

In fact, recently Kalifornia sent out a trial balloon about taxing the wealthy who leave Kalifornia. Governor Grey Davis tried this, and when it went to court, the judges nixed that insanity.

That’s a good idea in general.

I’m dealing with enough gritting politics with my mother.

You are safer in Fl. by a long margin. Newsom has not done any favors to the people of Ca.

Not completely true. He's done a lot for his rich buddies.

The Gov. can accept her compliments, but he would be wise to keep his distance from Azealia Banks.
She is an independent thinker, yes, but she is also a well known crackpot, one who calls herself a Witch who practices
Santeria with real skulls. Azealia is well known in parts of England for accusing actor Russell Crowe of assault.

“Oct. 17, 2016 LA Times
“To recap my night, I went to a party with Wu Tang the rapper at Russell Crowe’s suite, at which he called me a racial slur, choked my, threw me out and spat at me.
The men in the room allowed it to happen.”

These accusations were refuted by a number of witnesses who have all said that it was Azealia who got aggressive and used dergogatory language. They are saying she threatebed other people at the party and talked about injuring them with a glass.

“You guys would love it of I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino s***!”, before grabbing a glass.

Russel Crowe Cleared In Alealia Banks Assault Case.
(Buyer Beware!)
