Skai Jackson gave Azealia Banks the ultimate seat last week with their viral Twitter feud over Banks’ racial and homophobic slurs against Zayn Malik. Well now that her usual popping off has her banded from Twitter, Skai is speaking out on the incident, her thoughts of Azealia and reveals that she thinks the rapper has great talent but uses her platform inappropriately.
While speaking to Teen Vogue, the 14 year old Disney star revealed:
“I know who Azealia Banks is, and I would always see her trending on Twitter,” Skai explains. “At first I would never really pay attention to it, but then I realized she was trending because of all the negative things and all the racial slurs that she was saying to [Zayn Malik].”
“She’s a bully, and I’ve been bullied when I was younger. I’m against bullying, I hate it because I’ve dealt with it. I felt like I had to say something on my Twitter.”
She continued her thoughts on Twitter banning Banks and says a social media break is good for her.
“There should be consequences that happen when you say things about people, especially racist things,” Skai says in reference to Banks’ recent Twitter suspension. “I’m honestly going to say I’ve heard some of her music; she is a talented person, but all that talent is being covered up with all this negativity that she’s causing on her own.”
“I hope that she takes a break from social media and everything and lays low for a little bit,” she explains. “Even if that is deleting your Instagram or deleting your Twitter for a certain amount of time — which I’ve done before, just to get back into myself and get back in tune with myself. I definitely hope she realizes that what she’s doing is not cool. She may seem like she’s hurting people but she’s not. She’s kind of making a fool of herself and making a mockery of herself.”
Totally agree!
