This time she has some words for music artist M.I.A , calling her “anti-Black.” It all started when M.I.A vented on Instagram about her relationship with former producer and ex-boyfriend Diplo . She denied that Diplo (real name Thomas Wesley Pentz ) is the reason for her success. “It’s important you don’t see me as a lil thing diplo discovered because I’m a brown woman,” she wrote. “and this is the first story of a brown female musician who smashed it for the first time. That didn’t happen because I accidentally walked passed diplo.” When talking about her success M.I.A, who is of Sri Lankan Tamil descent, also said, “There was no label no A N R no channels. a handful of people believed in me , then when I got a deal , they turned on me. This was why i forged my own path and style and genre. I didn’t want anyone to say they made me!” Azealia peeped M.I.A’s words and challenged the idea that she was completely original. See the rant below: Mia be lowkey trying to take credit for black culture and the shit is annoying. She's like clearly quite anti-black —

The Asian community is frequently bombarded with racist imagery in comedy, television and film. Today, they got a small victory in an otherwise apathetic war. According to NYDailyNews , actor Ed Skrein was set to star in the upcoming superhero flick “Hellboy” as Major Ben Daimio.
