Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Rapper Azealia Banks completely let loose in a recent interview on Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning.

The 23-year-old Harlem native sat down for a 45-minute interview covering everything from her feud with Iggy Azalea to news events like the shooting deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Banks expressed her feelings on white rappers making gains in the hip-hop industry.

“I feel like, in this country, whenever it comes to our things, like black issues or black politics or black music or whatever, there’s always this undercurrent of kinda like a ‘F*** you,'” Banks said. “There’s always a ‘F*** y’all n***as. Y’all don’t really own shit. Y’all don’t have shit.’ That Macklemore album wasn’t better than the Drake record. That Iggy Azalea shit isn’t better than any f***ing black girl that’s rapping today.”

The female MC later called out T.I. for promoting his protege Iggy Azalea and slammed his wife Tiny. “You out here trying to promote this white bitch. They got your wife on VH1 and that bitch can’t fu**in’ read. You’re a fu**in’ shoe shinin’ coon. How dare you.”

She later was moved to tears discussing the issues plaguing black people in America today, “Until y’all mother***ers ready to talk about what you owe me…at the very f***ing least you owe me my identity and to not exploit that shit,” she said, before bringing up the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
