Azealia Banks Invites Cleotrapa to Open for Her, Shades Ice Spice: 'Because I Have F*cking Respect & Class'

Azealia Banks has shown that she's #TeamCleotrapa in the feud between the rapper-influencer and Ice Spice.

As the beef between Ice and Cleo heated up on Tuesday (September 3) involving the latter claiming that she was deprioritized on the Y2K! World Tour, Banks shared her disappointment in Ice. Banks claimed on X that she was originally into the Bronx native's "lil' orphan Annie vibes."

The following day, Banks invited Cleotrapa to open for her at her Halloween show and promised her money, space to get ready, and whatever she wants on her rider.

"She will-be paid, have her own space to glam, whatever she wants on her rider..because I have fucking respect & class," Banks wrote.

In multiple TikToks posted earlier this week, Cleo claimed that due to Ice's "manipulative" behavior on tour, the two were no longer friends. The Y2K! artist supported these claims, and although she said that the two had "fun" while on tour, she accused Cleo of acting "entitled" during an X Spaces session.

But in defense of Cleo, Banks also called out the rapper's manager, James Rosemond Jr., who addressed Cleo in a series of since-deleted X posts.

"Ice spices manager is a bird ass n***a 4 trying to add insult to injury when a young girl is expressing how she feels," Banks wrote. "He's trying to make cleo look like an amateur when the fact that he's even chiming in at all is ghetto, low class and a huge sign of having zero skin in the game."
