Azealia Banks went on another epic Twitter rant against Detroit rapper Eminem after Tyler, The Creator was recently banned from the UK. So, is the infamous "Rap God" a prime example of "white privilege?"

The nation's home security announced on Thursday (August 27) that the "Trashwang" emcee will not be allowed to enter the UK for at least 3-5 years. Apparently, the 24-year-old singer's presence is "not conductive for public good," so he was forced to cancel several upcoming shows. Basically, Tyler's controversial lyrics "encouraged violence and intolerance of homosexuality [and] foster hatred" (via The Independent).

Pretty harsh punishment, and Banks is extremely angry about this rather hypocritical decision:

@AZEALIABANKS: "So if the UK is banning Tyler the creator for some old lyrics about harming women they should ban Eminem too?"

@AZEALIABANKS  Aug 27

: "Eminem has OLD ASS LYRICS that lean towards harming women... So if they're bringing up old sh*t... They gotta bring out all the old sh*t."

@AZEALIABANKS: "Oh yeah that's right... Eminem is white so he gets the courtesy of being forgiven in the public eye..."

@AZEALIABANKS: "Tyler is just a nerd who is not going to harm anyone. I think banning him from the UK is very very unfair."

@AZEALIABANKS: "Society just needs to be consistent with its outrage."

Well, do MstarsNews readers agree?

But this is NOT the first time the "Ice Princess" songstress cyber attacked the MMLP2 superstar (after Shady threatened to "punch" Lana Del Rey in a hard-hitting cypher from November 2014). But will Em finally respond with an epic diss track, this time?

An official statement from the UK explains the shocking ban:

"Coming to the UK is a privilege, and we expect those who come here to respect our shared values... The Home Secretary has the power to exclude an individual if she considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good or their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds."
