Rapper Azealia Banks clearly doesn't have love on the brain — as she
sparked a heated social media feud with Rihanna over President Trump's travel ban.

The online altercation began shortly after Rihanna took to Twitter to
slam Trump's highly controversial executive order barring the citizens
of seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the United States.
"Disgusted! The news is devastating! America is being ruined right before our eyes!" Rihanna tweeted
Saturday evening. "What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!"
This clearly struck a negative chord with Banks, who unleashed a pointed
retort at the "Love on the Brain" singer calling out her political
views and targeting the fact she was born in Barbados.
"As far as Rihanna (who isn't a citizen, and can't vote) and all the
rest of the celebrities who are using their influence to stir the
public, you lot really REALLY need to shut up and sit down," Banks, who
has previously supported Trump, wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post,
according to People.
"Stop chastising the president," she continued. "It's stupid and
pathetic to watch. All of these confused people confuse other confused
people. Hoping the president fails is like getting on an airplane and
hoping the pilot crashes."
Rihanna then appeared to respond to the diatribe by sharing an Instagram post of herself making a kissing face using the caption, "the face you make when you a immigrant."
Rihanna also included the hashtags "#stayawayfromthechickens
#iheartnuggets and #saveourhens," which some interpreted as a reference
to Instagram videos shared by Banks last year that show her cleaning up a
floor covered in what appear to be feathers and other substances. She
claimed in the videos that she'd been practicing "brujeria," which is
Spanish for witchcraft.
The feud intensified even further when Banks posted Rihanna's phone number online, E! News
reported. Rihanna then reportedly returned the favor by publishing an
apparent text conversation with Banks, which included the "212" rapper's
number, according to Refinery 29.
Both numbers have reportedly since been disconnected.
