Azealia Banks apologizes on Instagram for racist and homophobic rant after being suspended from Twitter

Rapper Azealia Banks has apologized for a stream of racist and Islamophobic invective against former One Direction heartthrob Zayn Malik that led Twitter to suspend her.


Banks, who has long been notorious for provocative social media postings and has rarely voiced remorse, offered her 'sincerest apologies to the world' in a posting on Instagram, where her account remains active.

'Employing racial/sexual slurs/stereotypes in attempts to make fun of or degrade another person or group is not fair or fun for anyone,' Banks wrote.

Not long after the apology, she reposted what a fan said about her, lol
