What will the world do without Azealia Banks outlandish behavior? The Harlem rapper’s latest episode of moronic judgment happened a little after midnight Wednesday as she arrested for laying hands on a security guard at New York City club UP & Down. The fact that Banks will strike a male security guard, it comes to no surprise that she punched a female bouncer.
New York Post reports:
Banks, 24, was at the club for a private party when she got into a dispute with bouncers and was tossed at about 12:30 a.m. Police sources said she was taken to the Sixth Precinct on a misdemeanor charge of third-degree assault and held there for evaluation till Wednesday evening.
The bouncers seemed to not recognize her, which led to her not gaining entrance into the invite-only event.
“There was a female security guard and a male guard,” a source said, adding they “didn’t recognize Banks” — who began “screaming at the top of her lungs, cursing” and using racial slurs. A club owner noticed the commotion and “gave her a pass to let her in,” but “once she was 15 feet inside she starts to curse at the guards again, explaining who she was, that she’s on Rihanna’s album.”
And Banks continued to outdo herself.
When security approached, Banks allegedly, “spit in the [female bouncer’s] face,” a spy said. As they escorted her out, “she bites the [female guard] in the breast, almost breaking her shirt .?.?. as they took her out.” A police source added the bite “caused swelling and redness.”
Outside, Banks weirdly declared, “I’m gonna call the cops!” a source said, and approached an NYPD Traffic Enforcement car. But the source said that when she returned to the front of the club with the cops, she “punched” the female bouncer and was taken away as she asked, “Why are you arresting me?” Her reps did not take our call.
