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. Twitter Fingers said Bey’s album was just the singer trying to “hop on the blackness trend” and making it about herself…after years of “avoiding her blackness.” I disagree. Beyonce is only trying to capitalize on a national conversation and make herself the star of it. https://t.co/VTPs67SRWJ — BRUJA DEL BLOQUE (@AZEALIABANKS) May 1, 2016 @tanehisicoates Don't think for a second that beyonce was intelligent enough to come up with any of those ideas on her own. — BRUJA DEL BLOQUE (@AZEALIABANKS) May 1, 2016 @tanehisicoates She's not an artist, she's a poacher. she takes food out of darker skinned women's mouths & pretends to be inspired. — BRUJA DEL BLOQUE (@AZEALIABANKS) May 1, 2016 @tanehisicoates Beyonce spent her entire career purposefully avoiding “blackness” but now that it's a trend she's trying to capitalize on it — BRUJA DEL BLOQUE (@AZEALIABANKS) May 1, 2016 AB also went on to say Bey never talked politics in an effort to gain white acceptance. ITS NOT. because its coming from an entertainer. she's capitalizing on a national convo, w/o actually having 2 https://t.co/7me7EFdFBx — BRUJA DEL BLOQUE (@AZEALIABANKS) May 1, 2016 @DVNLVZU and now that black women's suffering is a a national conversation, she wants to hop on it and make our suffering “trendy”. — BRUJA DEL BLOQUE (@AZEALIABANKS) May 1, 2016 @DVNLVZU she needs to stay under Jay-z's foot where she belongs, and stay out of the creative woman's way. — BRUJA DEL BLOQUE (@AZEALIABANKS) May 1, 2016 Does Azealia have a point or is she just being the Twitter troll she’s always been?

Today, music legend and eccentric pop culture icon Prince died at age 57 . While police are still investigating the cause of his death, TMZ has obtained the audio recording of the 911 call made after he was found dead at his Paisley Park compound in his native Minnesota. In the emergency dispatch call, an operator is heard confirming a “male down, not breathing” at Prince's address. According to TMZ, the singer was found unconscious in an elevator in his home. Paramedics attempted CPR, but were unable to revive him. Prince was pronounced dead on the scene at 10:07 a.m., central time. Last week, after a concert in Atlanta, the singer was rushed to the hospital after his plane made an emergency landing in Illinois. Reps for Prince informed media he was battling a bad case of the flu, and that he had been treated and was back on the plane bound for home within three hours. The “Purple Rain” megastar performed a concert the next day and assured fans he was fine. Now, fans are wondering if there may have been a deeper issue that the notoriously private celebrity was hiding. Some have speculated that he knew his death was pending, as he began penning his memoirs last month and made a eerie comment during a party at Paisley Park last weekend. “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers,” he told attendees. Listen to the 911 call below:

Today, fans are mourning the shocking death of Prince , the visionary music legend who brought us unforgettable hits like “Kiss,” “1999” and “When Doves Cry.” The singer was found dead in his Minnesota home, just one week after his plane made an emergency landing to treat what representatives later said was the flu . However, Matt Fink, who played keyboards in Prince’s band The Revolution in the 80s, tells Radar Online that he believes Prince had more health problems than he had let on. “I can’t believe it was flu related,” Fink said, referring to last week’s incident. “At that time, I speculated it was not good,” he added. “But I was glad he was well. I assumed he was fine, that he was healing.” View Slideshow: Prince: Stars React to the Death of Iconic Singer In 2009, Prince revealed that he had been born with epilepsy and suffered seizures when he was a child. However, Fink said his friend never mentioned it to him. “He never discussed it. He brought that up much later after the band.” Fink said Prince had disclosed a separate health condition, but didn’t reveal any details about it. “He told me he had a heart murmur as well,” he claimed. “But we never discussed it.” “We’re in major shock right now,” he concluded. “It’s very difficult to express how we (the members of the band) feel. It’s a tough time.” At the time of this writing, the cause of death for the artist is still unknown. View Slideshow: Prince: Remembering the Music Legend’s Life In Photos
