Azealia Banks reveals she suffered a miscarriage
Azealia Banks took to her Facebook page Tuesday to announce that she suffered a miscarriage. The Harlem rapper admitted to feeling “confused and guilty” before deleting the post.
She also stated that she is in “shock” over the tragic ordeal.
Banks reportedly shared (and deleted) the message in order to hear from others who had suffered a similar loss. She wanted to know if they too felt like a “failure.”
She also said, “So I’ve just had a really major life event happen and I want to talk about it because this wouldn’t be an Azealia Banks page without loads of oversharing right?
“Anywho, I’ve just had a miscarriage and am pretty taken aback by it all and really confused and in shock and guilty and a bit depressed and like a failure and very ashamed,” Banks went on.

“Has anyone else had this same experience who cares to share some words of wisdom or words of anything regarding this topic?” she asked.
Banks went on to say, “The self-loathing bit is a real struggle for me at the moment so share any words here, They will be greatly appreciated. Thanks (sic).”
There was an outpouring of support for her after the post first went live with one fan saying, “Your not a failure! Its normal to feel these emotions after a traumatic event i felt the same after mine. Its hard to believe right now but it does get easier over time. You never get over it but its easier to live with. You grieve how you need to and remember it wasn’t your fault and your not a failure (sic).”
The tragedy comes on the heels of the altercation between her and Russel Crowe at a dinner party he hosted in mid October. She filed battery charges against Crowe and then dropped the charges earlier this month.
