Only Beyoncé Can Inspire Azealia Banks To Play Nice

The rapper known for shade-throwing finally dishes out a compliment.

Azealia Banks at times is more well known for her social media shade-throwing than she is her actual music. It’s all a part of her large personality, and at times, it’s felt as though no one in the entertainment world is safe, not even Rihanna.

And then enter Beyoncé.

Beyonce’s incredible hour-long poetic visual album, titled Lemonade, finally aired last night (April 23) and for reasons surprising no one, it’s all everyone can talk about. 

Even Azealia Banks chimed in, saying something nice for once and not causing a frenzy amongst the BeyHive.

“Lemonade is amazing,” the rapper wrote on Twitter. “I need to repent. This is sooooo good omg. EXACTLY WHAT pop culture needed.”

Perhaps Banks will start channeling this Bey-inspiration, maybe by spending a little less time on Twitter and a little bit more time expressing herself creatively.
