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 answers Azealia Banks' Met Gala diss with a painful confession: 'Maybe now you'll think twice'
Bebe Rexha met Azealia Banks' trademark toxicity with vulnerability, and a revelation about her health, after the "212" rapper shaded her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala. The Grammy-nominated "I'm Good" singer, who walked the steps of the Met in a custom Christian Siriano gown, said in a since-deleted tweet shared Monday that she lives with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and suffered a pregnancy loss. About an hour before Rexha's confession, Banks (who was not present at the Met Gala) commented on a photo of the singer at the fashion event, writing: "Sis gives me — hormonal birth control implant or something. It's giving implanon/nuvaring she needs removed or depo shot that needs to stop happening." The "Chase It" singer-songwriter, who has previously spoken out against body-shaming trolls, said in her post that she was over comments about her appearance. She said that she suffered with infertility, adding, "I got pregnant, and it didn't work out." She did not reveal when the pregnancy occured.

"I never owed anyone that truth, but maybe now you'll think twice before commenting on ... anyone's body." Rexha bolstered her response to Banks with a second tweet on Tuesday, channeling the rapper's reputation for antagonistic social media posts. In the past, Banks has feuded with numerous musicians including Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Iggy Azalea, Rihanna and Doechii, among several others. The "In the Name of Love" singer encouraged Banks to seek professional help, including therapy and medication used to treat depression and anxiety. "Lexapro worked great for me," she wrote in the tweet. "Something that helps with the deep rooted sadness and chaos you keep projecting. Healing looks good on everyone. Try it." Hours after Rexha's tweet, Banks seemingly dug her heels in and claimed there was a link between the singer's use of Lexapro and her failed pregnancy. "I def had a miscarriage on SSRI's, too," Banks wrote before encouraging her latest social media adversary to "get off the SSRI's period."

Bebe Rexha Responds To Azealia Banks' Body-Shaming Comments After Met Gala
Last Updated: The two have been in a heated exchange on social media since Bebe Rexha's Met Gala appearance. Bebe Rexha has frequently been subjected to body-shaming, and this time, the pop singer is voicing her frustration with the constant scrutiny of her weight and health. Her recent Met Gala appearance sparked an online debate, but it was Azealia Banks' harsh comments that really set Rexha off. The singer made her Met Gala debut in a Christian Siriano gown, perfectly aligning with the event's theme, but it was Banks' criticism that angered Rexha the most. Azealia Banks' Body-Shaming Comments The 33-year-old rapper shared a picture of the Say My Name hitmaker from the Met Gala 2025 and dropped a scathing remark. 'Sis gives me – hormonal birth control implant or something. It's giving Implanon/nuvaRing she needs removed or depo shot that needs to stop happening (I'm not even trying to play her)," the post read. While fans were quick to call out the rapper's criticism, Bebe Rexha also responded, asking Banks to seek some help. 'And you might wanna jump on some type of therapy, sis. 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," Rexha wrote in a tweet. In a now-deleted tweet, the singer expressed going through mental fatigue upon seeing such body-shaming comments about her body, further reiterating her diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome. 'I'm tired of people commenting on my weight. I have PCOS and struggle with infertility. 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," she tweeted. In the midst of the back-and-forth between Bebe Rexha and Azealia Banks, the latter shared her personal health journey. Banks revealed, 'Lexapro LITERALLY made me fat!!! I'm not kidding. And it made depression even worse. I took SSRIs for years and quit in 2019. First citalopram (Celexa), then escitalopram, and then stopped and switched to an ashwagandha + maca + turmeric combo." She went on to advise Rexha to focus on addressing her weight loss concerns. It's important to note that Bebe Rexha has been open about her health struggles. In 2019, she bravely shared with her fans that she was battling bipolar disorder, further shedding light on the personal challenges she faces alongside her ongoing career.
