Here's hoping that the musical career of Azealia Banks has finally reached the end of the line.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with her complete body of work, here's what she puts out when she's not putting out hiphop music, via BET.com and Twitter:
You will be penning songs for all the pretty girls you wish you were, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Lets find the biggest burliest blackest negroes and let them run a train on her. Film it and put it on Worldstar.
(T)ell (Eminem) to go back to his trailer park and eat his microwave hotpocket dinner and suck on his sister's t**ties.
"I dont know why he's ashamed to just be himself. I mean he wears dresses and gives makeup tips .Just come out! Be FREEEEEE!"
"Respect the fact I was inspired by your s**t...to spend more than f***ing 30secs paying homage to it...I'll piss on ur lawn."
"Pharrell changed his mind about wanting to be associated with me after he had his lite skin comeback."
"Whoever designed that racist a** Dolce and Gabanna collection needs a swift kick in the mouth and a big d**k up the a**."
She's also been taken off a plane for going off on a flight attendant, and arrested for biting a bouncer at a club. Imagine what she's like when she loses her temper...
Refinery29.com: ...Banks called out...former One Directioner...Zayn Malik...(because) his video for Like I Would looked a little too much like her past music videos. But she was quick to forgive, writing, "I'm not mad about this though. Zayn is a cutie pie."
Malik...decided to respond in a couple of subtweets... "No lies...I see you reaching but I don't care," he tweeted. "My @'s too good for you." Malik never specifically named Banks...but...that didn't stop (her)...
Banks called him a "hairy curry scented bitch" and "punjab." She also told him to "Simmer down with that fake white boy rebellion and that wannabe beiber swag," before calling him a "faggot"...Malik never responded to Banks' tweets...
14-year-old...Disney Channel star Skai Jackson tweeted, "Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little." You can probably guess what happened next...
"And you need to grow some hips and start ur menses," Banks wrote..."You need to get ur ass done and your tits done before you become a proper Instagram thot girly...Your mom will be up in Disney's Office's sucking dick for your next fourth lead role!!!"

She got a less diplomatic tweet from UK hiphopper MNEK: "Shut the f**** up already." Apparently feeling restricted by a 140-character limit, Banks escalated the battle to Periscope. Consider yourself warned that her response to Jackson and her remarks about Zayn Malik and UK hiphop are quite unrepeatable.
The problem is, Banks was scheduled to headline the second night of England's Born & Bred Festival on June 5 -- showcasing "rave-inspired dance music and soundsystem culture from grime, hip-hop and drum n bass to house, techno, garage and beyond":
Azealia's tweets about the festival:
"The UK really can't rap though. UK RAP is just a disgrace to rap culture in general."
"LOL, UK rappers ALWAYS lose. #BYE #GRIMESUCKS"
"UK rappers NEVER have swag. It's ALWAYS FORCED."
Complex.com: What probably resonated most with the festival...her aggressive attack on the UK music scene..."Y'all niggas in the UK cannot fucking rap." This prompted a series of angry responses...
Why do the police shut down @Giggs or @nines1ace raves but @AZEALIABANKS is cool to just come here threatening to bring arms? Don't get it
Please don't talk about Grime or UK rappers -- you are very average and I will spin you back into your mothers womb.
Trying to diss UK rappers and grime? She gon' learn today
Azealia Banks managed to piss off England. She best not try to come here she'll get the same treatment as the United bus
Is it petition time to get Azealia thrown off of Born & Bred? Cos racism, homophobia and now parring grime...
The festival's tweet about Azealia:

Being a legend in your own mind sounds like a very tough job.
