Vince Staples and Azealia Banks had their misunderstanding spill out all over Twitter as the two engaged in a back-and-forth over a failed collaboration before turning into a disagreement about their miscommunication.

This whole mess started earlier today when Azealia mentioned Staples in a series of stream of consciousness tweets.

Banks doubled down by mentioning Staples again.

Vince was eventually made aware of Banks tweeting about him, but things turned left real quick.

Azealia told Vince to stop mentioning her, adding, “I don't need you to defend me nor do you need to throw my name out there when you need to virtue signal about how righteous of a brother you are then dip when I ask to collab.”

That’s when their exchange really hit into high gear.

Vince did try to deescalate the situation, but Azealia wouldn’t relent.
