Azealia Banks denied claims that she was evicted from a rental home in Florida. Sandrarose.com reported last week that Banks was evicted from her home after she owed 8,000 in past due rent.
On Friday, Banks responded to the reports on X/Twitter, writing, “Ummm. This is a lie. Lmao these Miami landlords be despeeeeraaaate.”
She added: “I’ve already moved CXO HQ to 7995 SW 154th Terrace Palmetto, Bay, Fl 33157.”
After being evicted, Banks tried to sue the homeowners for $50,000. She accused the owners and their attorney of harassment and contacting her at inconvenient times. She also alleged that the owners threatened to sell the eviction story to the tabloids if she didn’t pay up.
She said the owners raised her rent unreasonably and illegally, which violates Florida law.
In her response to the court, Banks, 33, stated that she withheld rent due to a rat infestation in the house. Finally, she shared a screenshot from a payment app with no date on it.
The homeowners verified that payment wasn’t real. And since Banks failed to deposit the amount she owed into an escrow account with the court, a judgement was issued against Banks on July 2.
In 2020, Banks got into a verbal dispute with a neighbor in Woodland Hills, California. The male neighbor knocked at her door complaining about her loud music. An argument broke out and then the neighbor allegedly pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and threatened to kill Banks.
According to Backgrid.com, Banks was extremely scared and posted a rant crying and pleading with fans on social media to come to her home to protect her before the Police arrive. She posted her home address on the social media app begging fans in the area to hurry to her house.
LAPD officers arrived and restored order. No arrests were made and after the LAPD left, Banks invited the fans inside her home.
