Azealia Banks Slams Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Album as ‘White Women Cosplay’

The rapper also asked Bey why there wasn’t ‘a little effort into’ creating a ‘more artistic title’ for ‘Cowboy Carter’ in her lengthy public rant.

“Wow, we didn’t even try to put even a little effort into a more artistic title?” Azealia wrote via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, March 19, across the image of Bey’s latest picture of her country-themed album. After repeating that she feels Bey’s album exemplifies “white women cosplay,” Azealia added, “You’re reinforcing the false rhetoric that country music is a post-civl war art form.” Azealia then pointed out that Beyoncé has shared her platform with artists, such as Lady Gaga, the Dixie Chicks and Shakira, “but we’re supposed to buy into this falsified victim crap about not being accepted in a genre you’ve dabbled here and there?”
