Azealia Banks Demands $1 Million From Singer Matty Healy In Cease & Desist Over Slap Threat

Azealia Banks is escalating her feud with Matty Healy, demanding $1 million and a public apology in a cease & desist letter from her legal team.

The legal notice, shared by Azealia Banks on her X account, accuses the #The1975 frontman of “threats of violence” and “overt racial epithets” following their heated online exchange.

Azealia Banks’ attorney, Wallace J. Collins III, wrote,

“Your attacks against my client’s professional reputation, your overt racial epithets, and your most recent threats of physical violence… have been well-documented.”

He went on to call Matt Healy’s actions “wrong and malicious.”

The feud began when Matty Healy fired back at Banks for her tweet about Charli XCX, saying she “used to be soooo pretty.”

He wrote,

“Azealia, you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to your ‘reads.’ All the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive, and NICE people. I think this makes you jealous cos you’re so talented, but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap, bro.”

Banks responded by saying Healy’s fiancée, Gabriette Bechtel, looked like Frankenstein and accusing the couple of sharing needles. Healy escalated further, writing,

“I’d f****** slap you so hard I’ll get a Guinness world record for the highest a rat some b**** calls a wig has ever flown.”

Healy has yet to respond publicly to the letter’s demands, which include ceasing defamatory statements, issuing an apology, and paying $1 million to Banks.
