When one door closes, another opens, and that’s exactly the case for Cleotrapa. Azealia Banks announced that the “Von Dutch” artist will join her for a performance at Terminal 5 on Halloween (Oct. 31), following a nasty fallout with Ice Spice earlier in the week.
“I don't like how everyone is trying to make Cleotrapa look,” Banks wrote on Twitter on Wednesday (Sept. 4) before announcing the show. The rapper shared, “She will be paid, have her own space to [do] glam, [and] whatever she wants on her rider because I have f**king respect and class.” The Staten Island native confirmed the news by quote-tweeting the post with a kiss mark emoji.
Banks also had some words for Ice’s manager, James Rosemond Jr., who claimed that Cleotrapa attempted to go “viral for clout” instead of settling her differences with the “Deli” hitmaker privately.
“Ice Spice’s manager is a bird a** n**ga for trying to add insult to injury when a young girl is expressing how she feels. He's trying to make Cleo look like an amateur when the fact that he's even chiming in at all is ghetto, low-class, and a huge sign of having zero skin in the game,” read one tweet from Banks. A separate upload to the app contained a more personal jab: “How about he get his artist some filler for those smile lines? She's aging like f**king milk.”
For those who missed it, Cleotrapa and Ice’s issues stemmed from the former’s alleged mistreatment throughout the “Y2K! World Tour.” The bubbling star, who served as a supporting act, uploaded five TikTok videos on Monday (Sept. 2) claiming how she wasn’t paid for the trek, was forced to change in bathrooms, and how her meals weren’t covered.
Ice responded via Twitter Spaces, where she accused Cleotrapa of “crashing out” for likes and views. “I genuinely was trying to help her,” the Grammy nominee claimed.
