Who is Azealia Banks?
Born on May 31, 1991, in Harlem, New York City, Banks is the youngest of three sisters. Her father died due to pancreatic cancer when she was just two years old. Her mother was working at a retail store on 57th Street.
In a March 2023 interview with Dazed magazine, Banks shared that she would rather be more like a Dominican because she was raised by Dominican caretakers, since her mother paid them 'couple thousand dollars and just disappear for five weeks.'
Although she did grow up with dreams of being famous, Banks was initially interested in becoming an actor and not a rapper. She even started studying acting at LaGuardia when she was 14. She felt disappointed when she was not able to land a show on Nickelodeon.
Interestingly, Banks started rapping just because she 'had some boyfriend who rapped, and all his friends rapped, too,' she told Dazed. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Azealia Banks has total earnings of $3 million.
Some of her popular singles include 212, Liquorice, and Yung Rapunxel. In 2014, she released her much-awaited debut album, Broke with Expensive Taste.
