Azealia Banks Says She Was Drugged & Raped Last Night

Azealia Banks went on Instagram live last night and detailed her experience in tears. She cried while revealing that she was drugged and raped, and that she felt ashamed, embarrassed, and didn’t want to do music anymore; stating “I can’t do anything now.” Banks even blamed herself partially.

“I just feel dirty, so stupid right now. I was just hanging out and one thing led to another.”

Banks has since deleted her posts, but posted an update saying she is fine now, surrounded by her brother and friends.

You can check out her post below. And more information will be posted as the story develops.
