Azealia Banks compares Birmingham fish stall that made her ill to Wuhan wet market
Azealia Banks has claimed that a fish market in Birmingham has made her ill, comparing it to a âWuhan wet marketâ.
The rapper made the comments on X on Thursday (September 26), six days after playing at the cityâs O2 Institute as part of her âBack To The Union Jackâ tour.
It would appear that shortly after the show, she paid a visit to the fish stalls at the Bull Ring Indoor Market, and it did not go well.
âThe city officials in birmingham, UK, need to do something about the fish market at the bullring market,â she wrote. âIts giving putrid pathogen Wuhan wet market tease and just being in there I caught some shit.â

âJust spent the last two days bathing, massaging, drinking tea sweating that shit out,â she added. âThatâs not cool bâ.
By comparing the market to Wuhan, she is invoking the speculation that a market in the Chinese region is where the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Banks went on to clarify what she was doing in a fish market to begin with: âI was looking for some falsely advertised beauty supply shop I saw on Yelp, and it was this little stand inside a outdoor building with this rank ass fish market boofin up the whole space. I wasnât like, on tour trying to buy raw fish lmao,â she wrote.

Banks is no stranger to ruffling feathers online. Earlier this month, she suggested Taylor Swift should sue Elon Musk over his comments about her, which Banks described as âharassmentâ.
After Swift announced she was publicly endorsing Kamala Harris, Musk responded on X, âFine Taylor ⦠you win ⦠I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.â
âNah this is actual sexual harassment,â Banks replied on X. âTaylor should flex on his ass and sue him for loads of cash n level up to be the most undefeatable richest woman in the history of music. Take his fucking money taylorrrrrrr!!!!
âPut his ass in a hole sis. Lmao the pop girlies would all be so crumb. I love this,â she added in a subsequent tweet.
Back in March, Banks was also openly critical of Beyoncéâs new country direction on âCowboy Carterâ, describing it as âwhite women cosplayâ and stating that she feels the singer is âsetting herself up to be ridiculedâ.
Those comments led to an unlikely online friendship being forged between Banks and KT Tunstall, after the former bemoaned the latterâs absence from the album.
Banks also reignited a years-old feud with Lily Allen this summer, also in connection with âCowboy Carterâ. After Allen gave her own criticisms of the album, Banks accused her of past racist comments and told her to âsit this one outâ.
