Azealia Banks knows how to get attention — whether she’s making disparaging comments about Lizzo’s weight, calling Cardi B illiterate, sending shots at Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj or boiling a dead cat. Now, Banks is using Kanye West’s name to promote her forthcoming single, “Fuck Him All Night.”
On Tuesday (July 6), the controversial rapper shared the single’s cover art to her Instagram account, which looks like an ode to Rolling Stones’ famous cover art for the 1971 album Sticky Fingers. The photo features a close up of Banks’ denim bikini bottoms with her hands across her crotch and “K-A-N-Y-E W-E-S-T” nails prominently on display.
She wrote in the caption, “Fuck Him All Night. (OFFICIAL COVER).”

But the promo didn’t end there. Azealia Banks had another, um, trick up her sleeve. In a since-deleted Instagram post, Banks’ “K-A-N-Y-E” hand was wrapped around a dildo in yet another attempt to shock her fanbase. When someone asked if the single title meant she had slept with Kanye West or wanted to sleep with Kanye West, Banks replied, “I was fuckin’ him all night.”

Banks has had somewhat of a fixation on Kanye West over the years. After she called off her engagement in April, she jokingly daydreamed about what life with Kanye would be like on Twitter.
“The powerful black demon entity awaiting in my ovaries and Kanye’s testicle is finally about to be unleashed upon the world,” she said at the time. “All of you n-ggas are going to JAIL.”
She continued, ““ just want to be the mother of a fully African Azealia Banks X Kanye West child. We would most likely have a Sagittarius baby as payback for the both of us talking shit about JAY-Z. We would make the art world stop. It would be another 50 years before anyone was adept enough to cause a shift.”
As Banks trended on Twitter, she was soon forced to clarify it was all a joke with “You guys really took that Kanye joke and ran with it huh?”
Considering the blatant disdain Banks has exhibited for over the years, it’s hard to believe anyone would take her comments seriously. Last July, Banks went on a Twitter tirade following Kanye’s tear-filled rant about abortion during his first presidential rally in South Carolina. She claimed Kanye doesn’t suffer from a mental illness and instead, is simply hiding his homosexuality.
Banks’ “Fuck Him All Night” single likely arrives on Friday (July 9). Until then, check out her posts above.
