Today in Azealia Banks Twitter spats… On Thursday, Erykah Badu responded to a fan inquiry about whether or not she listens to Azealia Banks’ music. Tweeting simply that she “tried” to, the Harlem rapstress caught wind of the reply and intervened to inquire about “shade.”
Tried “@pradahungry: Does @fatbellybella listen to azealia banks? Always wanted to know”

One observant fan, however, noticed that Badu’s reply to Banks included a geotag of her location. Acknowledging the deliberate change, Badu simply wrote “You caught that,” which prompted one final response from Banks:
You caught that .. “@bhrisbrown: Queen turned on her location. HELP pic.twitter.com/3LNTIPd7PT”
