To accompany the absolute slay of her Billboard cover story photo shoot, Azealia Banks was right on schedule with yet another neck-turning quote. This time concerning her carnal desires for President Obama, the Harlem rapstress offered a rather candid thought about the nation’s commander-in-chief.
“He’s so fine,” she said. Those big-ass white teeth and ears hanging off his head? I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I want to f**k the president.”
And in a strange turn of events for the outspoken emcee, she took to Twitter to express regret for her statement. Assuring her followers that she was “just joking and being silly,” Banks remarked that the quote was taken out of context. She also expressed a hope that the full cover story would include more pertinent quotes from her sit-down with the magazine.
