Wale and Azealia Banks engaged in a heated online dispute following a vague post by Wale that led to a series of insults and controversial comments from the rapper-singer.

The conflict between Wale and Azealia Banks erupted after Wale posted a cryptic tweet questioning authenticity in the music industry, which prompted Banks to launch personal attacks and controversial statements.

Wale expressed his views on not compromising his principles in the music business, stating that he doesn't engage in certain practices for popularity and nostalgia.

However, Banks used this opportunity to criticize Wale's music career, mentioning one of his songs and commenting on his style and image in a negative manner.

The online argument escalated with Banks further criticizing Wale's music and persona, hinting at racial stereotypes and making personal attacks against him.

Wale responded humorously to Banks' remarks, poking fun at her critiques and not taking her comments too seriously.

Banks accused Wale of being envious of her success and criticized his collaborations with mainstream pop artists, alleging that he panders to white producers.

The feud intensified when Banks used a homophobic slur against Wale, receiving backlash for her offensive language and past history of making anti-LGBTQ comments.

Wale concluded the exchange by dismissing Banks' comments and comparing her remarks to something a computer program and music review site would produce if they had a child.
