Rapper Azealia Banks fires back at Matty Healy with a cease-and-desist, accusing the 1975 frontman of cyberbullying and cyber harassment amid their social media feud.
Rapper Azealia Banks is demanding $1 million and a public apology from 1975 frontman Matty Healy amid their recent social media squabble.
The “Anna Wintour” and “Liquorice” rapper, infamous for her scathing rants on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), announced Sunday in a since-deleted tweet that her legal team had sent a cease-and-desist letter to Healy, accusing him of cyberbullying and cyber harassment, among other allegations. Banks shared the letter after she and Healy began trading blows on X last week.
The letter that Banks’ lawyer Wallace Collins sent requests that Healy refrain “from making further threats or defamatory statements” against the rapper, in addition to the requests for “compensation for damages in the amount of $1,000,000 in full settlement of this matter” and a “prompt public apology.”
Banks’ cease-and-desist continues: “If we cannot resolve this satisfactorily and expeditiously without Court intervention, then my client will be forced to commence legal action immediately and seek substantial monetary damages as well as legal fees and appropriate injunctive relief.
