Azealia Banks and Bebe Rexha clash in vicious online feud: 'You might wanna jump on some type of therapy'
If Azealia Banks and Bebe Rexha's relationship were a song, it would be sung by Ariana Grande: "We Can't Be Friends." The "212" rapper and "Meant to Be" singer engaged in a public spat on Monday, following Banks' unprovoked critique of Rexha's physical appearance at the 2025 Met Gala. "Sis gives me - hormonal birth control implant or something," Banks wrote on X Monday evening, in response to a photo of Rexha arriving at the annual fundraising celebration wearing a black Christian Siriano ensemble. "It's giving implanon/nuvaring she needs removed or depo shot that needs to stop happening." Rexha responded the following morning, suggesting that Banks "might wanna jump on some type of therapy," and snarking that the antidepressant "lexapro worked great for me. Something that helps with the deep rooted sadness and chaos you keep projecting. Healing looks good on everyone. Try it." A few minutes after sharing her response, Rexha posted again, hoping to draw the back-and-forth to a close: "Ok I'm gonna go and enjoy my day now ❤️ Have a good day everyone love you." In a third post that has since been deleted, Rexha, 35, opened up about weathering constant criticism of her appearance and explained that she has a health condition. "I'm so tired of people commenting on my weight. I have PCOS and struggle with infertility," she wrote, referring to polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal disorder that presents challenges Rexha has been open about in the past. She continued, "I got pregnant, and it didn't work out and I've been carrying that pain in silence. I never owed anyone that truth, but maybe now you'll think twice before commenting on anyone's body."Rexha's attempt to shut down the conflict was only successful on her end, however, as Banks fired off several lengthy responses on Tuesday. "You should really get off Lexapro lmao, weight gain is a TRADEMARK side effect of Lexapro," Banks wrote in one, referring back to Rexha's original response. In another, she offered to be Rexha's "support sister if u need it's honestly nothing to be ashamed of because trust me... The problems that come from ssri's are a lot LOT worse than anything you feel you are going thru now." Banks' comments toward Rexha were part of a larger running commentary she posted in reaction to pictures from the Met Gala's red carpet, which this year was tinted a deep shade of blue, courtesy of artist Cy Gavin. The New York City-born musician, 33, had praise for Nicki Minaj's Thom Browne look ("Ok now that we can see the boning this look is a serrrve," compared Sabrina Carpenter to Lil' Kim ("This is very Notorious K.I.M. coded"), and had a mixed reaction to an image of Katy Perry look that was later found to be AI-generated ("Katy just gives me evil Madonna levels of behind the scenes corporate sabotage").

Bebe Rexha reveals pregnancy loss after Met Gala body shaming
Bebe Rexha has revealed she suffers from a hormonal disorder in response to online body shaming of her Met Gala look. The Meant to Be singer hit back at online commenters who had criticised her size on the Met Gala red carpet. Rapper Azealia Banks, 33, had singled out Bebe, 35, to body shame her appearance after Bebe wore a fitted, black Christian Siriano gown on the red carpet. "Sis gives me - hormonal birth control implant or something," the 212 artist wrote on X. "It's giving implanon/nuvaring she needs removed or depo shot that needs to stop happening (I'm not even tryna play her)." ADVERTISEMENT Bebe was quick to respond, with a now-deleted post explaining she has suffered from polycystic ovary syndrome - a hormonal disorder associated with heavier weight, irregular menstrual cycles, reduced fertility, acne, and increased risk of diabetes. "I'm so tired of people commenting on my weight," she wrote. "I have PCOS and struggle with infertility." Bebe then shared that she had suffered a pregnancy loss in secret. "I got pregnant, and it didn't work out and I've been carrying that pain in silence," she wrote. "I never owed anyone the truth, but maybe now you'll think twice before commenting on anyone's body." She went on to write a public reply directly to Azealia's post, suggesting the rapper embark on therapy. "And you might wanna jump on some type of therapy, sis, lexapro worked great for me," Bebe wrote. "Something that helps with the deep rooted sadness and chaos you keep projecting. Healing looks good on everyone. Try it."

Chappell Roan Joins Beyoncé In A Historic Feat
Chapel Roan's 'The Giver' debuts at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs and No. 5 on the Hot 100, marking her ... More first country chart hit and third top 10 overall. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 01: Chappell Roan performs during 2024 Lollapalooza Festival at Grant Park on August 01, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Erika Goldring/WireImage) Chappell Roan is back on the Billboard charts this week, but it's not just her usual pop cuts that keep her on the competitive tallies. While several of her older tracks remain, the singer is also entering a new era – one that could surprise fans who thought they knew exactly what to expect from her. Roan returns with a brand new single, 'The Giver,' and while the tune is already a hit, it's the way she's achieved this new success that makes this moment a major turning point in her career. This week, Roan's latest single "The Giver" opens at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart. The ranking blends streaming data, sales, and radio airplay in the U.S. to determine the most-consumed country tracks each frame. Roan earns her first appearance on the tally, as she's never before released music in the country genre. That means she's now scored her first-ever placement, top 10, and chart-topper on the genre-specific list all in one go. The fact that 'The Giver' opens in first place makes Roan part of a very exclusive club. Billboard reports that the singer-songwriter is now just the third woman in history to debut her first-ever entry on the Hot Country Songs chart at No. 1. The first to do so was Bebe Rexha, whose smash collaboration "Meant to Be" with Florida Georgia Line conquered the tally in 2017. That tune ended up holding court in first place for nearly a year. It still stands as the longest-running No. 1 in the chart's history. Last year, Beyoncé shocked the music world when she shifted into country with "Texas Hold 'Em." The song, the lead single from her then-upcoming project Cowboy Carter, also debuted at No. 1, giving her not only her first win on the tally, but also one of the few openings in first place for a female artist. "The Giver" isn't just a country smash. The track also opens at No. 5 on the Hot 100 this frame, instantly becoming one of the most popular songs in the U.S. across all genres. The cut marks Roan's third trip to the top 10 on the all-encompassing ranking. She reached a new career peak not long ago with "Good Luck, Babe!," which soared to No. 4. Before that, "Pink Pony Club" climbed to No. 7. That tune is still holding on, dipping slightly this week to No. 9.
