Rapper Azealia Banks has landed herself in yet another social media ordeal. Posts by Banks celebrating her engagement to Ryder Ripps prompted accusations of anti-Semitism.
Rather than apologize, Banks launched into a transphobic tirade.The saga began February 22, when Banks posted a picture of her new engagement ring on in a since-removed Instagram post. “I said yes!!!” Banks captioned the photo. “I just got engaged k*nts.
I’m crying …. I’m Jewish now. MAZEL TOV BITCHES! WE IN HERE…. YERRRRRRR.”Commenters on the post, however, pointed out that marrying a Jewish man does not make Banks Jewish.
Rather, she would have to go through a full conversion ceremony to be considered Jewish herself.“Getting engaged with a Menorah ring doesn’t make you.
