Earlier this month, Azealia Banks dragged rapper Eminem into an epic Twitter rant involving Tyler, The Creator's controversial ban from the UK:

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

@AZEALIABANKS: "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, several loyal supporters of the "Rap God" legend were not very amused with Banks' rather hysterical cyber blast. The viral backlash still continues:

@EminemmForeverr: "@AZEALIABANKS Eminem is a pure genius. You, not so much."

@Eminem_2015_: "Eminem at age 42 - selling out shows, countless records on his name... @AZEALIABANKS at 42 - no [one] follows her on twitter."

@MarshalIMatherz: "cant get the name from out your mouth can you. thats the only part of 'Eminem' that's ever gonna be in there."

@SLlMSHADY: "Ugly rat. People only give you attention when you talk about eminem. Gorilla. Flop. Rat. @AZEALIABANKS."

@princeess_G: "Oh yeah that's right you just wanna turn this into a racist problem cause you are just jealous of Eminem."

@SLlMSHADY: "why do you always bring eminem into everything??? Lol I guess that's the only way you'll ever get attention you flop."

Ouch.

But now Banks is seemingly backing down:

@AZEALIABANKS: "@WilliamHarveyM as much as you would love it, Eminem and I don't have any beef with one another. Sorry."

@AZEALIABANKS: "Just to say, I don't think anyone should be banned from anywhere for creating art. I only chose Em be he is the most mainstream example."

As usual, Shady remains quiet on social media. But will Banks' latest attempt at nasty provocation finally inspire another epic diss track? Stay tuned...
