Following Bebe Rexha‘s Met Gala debut, the singer participated in an X (formerly Twitter) feud with Azealia Banks after the latter made some controversial remarks regarding the former’s body. The “Me, Myself & I” singer clapped back at Banks, suggesting “therapy” and “healing.”
Here are details on Bebe Rexha and Azealia Banks’ Twitter feud
Bebe Rexha and Azealia Banks got involved in a public spat that originated from the latter’s remarks regarding Rexha’s recent Met Gala appearance. The Love Beats Rhymes star posted on X, “Sis gives me – hormonal birth control implant or something.”
She added, “It’s giving implanon/nuvaring she needs removed or depo shot that needs to stop happening (I’m not even tryna play her).” The 212 singer’s remark led to Rexha’s series of responses.
Rexha shared on X, ” you might wanna jump on some type of therapy.” She suggested the antidepressant “lexapro” worked great for her. “Something that helps with the deep rooted sadness and chaos you keep projecting. Healing looks good on everyone. Try it,” the singer added.
In another now-deleted X post, Rexha highlighted how people can be quick to judge someone’s body without knowing the struggles behind it. The singer opened up about her journey with infertility and failed pregnancy (via Entertainment Weekly).
Rexha expressed that she feels “tired” of people commenting on her weight. She added, “I have PCOS and struggle with infertility.” The singer also revealed that she got pregnant before, and it didn’t work out for her.
The “I’m a Mess” crooner noted, “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.”
Meanwhile, Banks continued the online argument. “The Big Big Beat” singer advised Rexha, “You should really get off Lexapro, lmao, weight gain is a TRADEMARK side effect of Lexapro.”
The singer detailed her own journey with psych meds, revealing what didn’t work for her. She shared, “Lexapro LITERALLY made me fat!”, claiming it made her depression “worse.” In another post on X, Banks claimed she can be Rexha’s “support sister.” In the lengthy post, Banks noted, “Lexapro is not working for you girl Them long tapers are a scam too. I can tell ur up to like 40mg. Just drop to 20mg.”
