‘Attention,’ the critically polarizing first single from Doja Cat‘s forthcoming fourth studio album ‘First of All,’ has only been available for a day but it’s already caught the attention of her arch nemesis Azealia Banks.
The ‘Ice Princess‘ performer, who has kept a one-sided beef between herself and Cat alive for at least the last three years, reared her Twitter claws again recently in a stinging criticism of the GRAMMY winner.
Look inside to see her thoughts about Doja’s latest song.
Taking to social media over the weekend, Banks may have lit into Doja’s latest effort by labeling it ‘wannabe’ and a ‘boring’ approach to ‘authentic Rap,’ but she started her rant with a mini-praise session.
“I really be wanting to like Doja’s music but it’s all just sooo try hard,” she said on Instagram Friday (June 16). “Her first album was actually cool as hell,” she said before later calling the 2018 ‘Amala‘ album Doja’s “own authentic art voice.”
Interestingly, the flattery comes just a month after Cat slammed her own breakout projects – ‘Hot Pink‘ and ‘Planet Her‘ as “mediocre Pop.”
From there, Azealia’s assessment went left.
“It’s not giving that pissy stairwell / bacon egg and cheese / vanilla Dutch nyc energy she’s reaching for,” Banks said, suggesting Doja “sounds like a white girl that grew up in a house.”
Later in her unusually specific review, the ‘Big Big Beat‘ beauty claimed her chart-topping counterpart is clearly going through an identity crisis.
“Her approach to trying to conceptualize an authentic rap record is giving angel haze NYC WANNABE levels of boring rippity rap/ cheesy soho whiteboy hypebeast circa ’06,” Azealia relayed. “She’s giving me those weird fka twigs biracial girl identity crisis vibes.” she claims.
Look below to see what else she said about Doja before launching into similarly scathing commentary about blockbuster rapper Kendrick Lamar.
