Azealia Banks just cannot stop picking feuds on Twitter. And now, the "Heavy Metal and Reflective" rapper isn't going after newcomer Iggy Azalea, she's calling out legendary R&B singer Erykah Badu.
After a fan asked Badu on Twitter if she'd ever listened to Banks, Badu threw some mild shade in the rapper's way, simply saying that she had "tried." Banks, always one for drama, found out about the conversation and decided to jump in, calling out Badu for being old and "jealous" of her new success (and Playboy cover?).

When artists grow old and begin to recognize their own mortality they throw shade at younger spirits — AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) February 14, 2015
Soon, Badu responded to Banks, saying "Well sh*t I did try. Maybe you're right.. I'm just to old to get it. You cool tho?" she wrote to Banks, though she did one key thing - turned on her Twitter geolocation, noting that she was in Queens, New York. (Banks is a notorious Harlem gal.)
The feud continued, with Banks jibbing at Badu for being old, smelling "musky' and presumably challenging her to a fight, though Badu was insistent that she was just playing all along.

Though the feud seemed to have ended on Valentine's Day, Banks went at it again yesterday (Feb. 15), calling Banks "childish," though still seeming like she was ready for a fight.

Lol I think it was very childish of her to try and insinuate that I should show up and fight her... Like.. How old are you? — AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) February 15, 2015

In the end, can't we all just make some music and get along? (Seems not.)
