Unfortunately for rapper Azealia Banks, becoming a household name is easier said than done. In the last three years of her career, she’s only managed to score one hit single, 2012′s “212,” which got her praise from “I Am A God” emcee himself, Kanye West. But since then, aside from attending the MET ball with Alexander Wang, for whom she did a fashion campaign, all has been quiet on the western front for the 23-year-old Harlem native.
Azealia’s recent Twitter beefs have not helped her solidify a release date for her debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste. But Monday, after hearing of her nemesis Iggy Azalea‘s new effort with T.I., entitled “No Mediocre,” Banks tweeted: “You want no mediocre…but have you seen your wife?” Of course this prompted T.I. to publish the following to his Instagram page:
Tiny kept it cute and quite mute for the most part, but did send out the following meme of Rihanna:
Well damn.
T.I.’s insult-laced tirade was also full of threats, and caused Banks to impulsively tweet before deleting most of the following:

T.I. and Banks have a long history of beefing. Last year, when his protege Iggy Azalea was asked about feud her with Banks, during a radio interview, T.I. caught heat for getting involved in a “girl fight.”
