RZA's Rep Goes Off At Azealia Banks Over RZA Disses In The Media

(AllHipHop News) The RZA and Azealia Banks have been at odds for quite some time, culminating with the female singer telling the elder statesman to "drop dead." Now, the RZA's public relations representative Tresa Sanders (who will now be known as TZA) has had enough. The veteran PR has stepped into the arena to fiercely defend the honor of her client. And, if you believe this is mere work, the tone of the letter should help fix that. There is significant passion in the these words.

AZEALIA BANKS NO MORE RZA BIZ ... He Betrayed Me!!

Azealia Banks is pissed at RZA for not defending her when Russell Crowe threw her out of his party, and says she's cutting him off for good ... personally and professionally. 

Sources close to Banks tell TMZ ... she'd been negotiating a deal to sign with RZA's record label for the past 3 weeks. We're told RZA's rep called her this week about closing the deal, and she made it clear ... the deal is OFF.

RZA -- who invited Azealia to the party -- doesn't seem to be losing any sleep over it. His camp insists she's "full of it" when it comes to the events in Crowe's suite, and she was squarely in the wrong.

Azealia Banks — Guest Of RZA — Tossed Out Of Russell Crowe's Hotel Room

Giving up Twitter didn’t stop the drama as Azealia Banks was tossed out of actor Russell Crowe’s hotel room Saturday (October 15), according to TMZ. The New York rapper was kicked out by the Gladiator himself after she reportedly threatened to cut him and his guests at a Beverly Hills party.

Banks, who was the guest of RZA, reportedly mocked Crowe for his music selection and called him and his guests “boring white men.” When a woman at the party defended the actor, Banks went in saying, “You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino s***.” When she actually started playing with her glass, Crowe made his move to grab the Slay-Z rapper and remove her from his hotel room. He then called security to remove her from the premises.

At least four people who were in attendance gave statements about what happened. Several, including RZA, said that she used the n-word during the confrontation.

When Banks told her side of the story, she said that Crowe was the instigator and said he called her the n-word, choked her and spit on her.

But even the Wu-Tang MC says that’s not what went down.
