For an offensive comment made through her Instagram cosmetics account, netizens have American rapper Azealia Banks under fire after insulting BTS‘ Jungkook and K-Pop in general, which has reached great popularity in the American country.
The unpopular opinion issued by Banks was as follows: “Now that we’re not pretending that Chris Brown is not the biggest artist of the decade, can we tell those effeminate K-Pop artists to go away with their ghostly white asses and Michael Jackson-like choreography?”

The ARMY fandom quickly picked up that the ‘King of Pop’-like dances are in reference to Jungkook’s new solo song ‘Standing Next To You‘. Moreover, the rapper added an extra comment where she claimed that “K-Pop boy bands are just a bunch of little girls shaking their butts“, making it clear that she dislikes the genre.
There was immediately a barrage of comments for Azealia Banks, where she was labeled as a bad person, racist, and even accused of being xenophobic since she did not refer to an artist but to the entire Asian culture, ensuring that they should not be in the United States.
