Azealia Banks Bashes Beyonce’s “Lemonade” You know that joke about Azealia Banks growing up to be Khia ? Well…. The controversial rapper got into it with author Ta-Nehisi Coates about the importance of Beyonce’s “Lemonade.” While Ta-Nehisi thought “Lemonade” was an inspiring body of work, Azealia thought differently.
