Known
for her outspoken lyrics and her Twitter wars, Azealia Banks is fast proving to
be the most talked about female rapper and singer to emerge from Harlem.
And now the bisexual
rapper is causing more controversy off the stage thanks to a scandalous Dazed & Confused cover which has been banned in no less than
seven countries.
In the picture, which
has already set Twitter aflutter, Banks can be seen inflating a raspberry coloured condom and is over the
headline 'Azealia Banks blows up'.
The issue is not
available on sale in Singapore, Dubai, Malta, Switzerland, India or Thailand
because it is deemed too risqué.
Ron Stanley, editor of Dazed & Confused magazine speaks out about the controversial Azealia Banks condom cover. “Azealia liked it, and we thought it would be fun and suited her because she’s a strong, provocative character,” he said. “I knew this cover would be talked about, but didn’t expect a confident, young woman posing with an inflated condom to cause this much fuss. It’s funny that in a world where extreme images are so accessible, someone posing with something that is used for safe sex is what we get worked up about.” ….
What
are your thoughts???
