Rocker Matt Healy, best known as one of Taylor Swift‘s ex-boyfriends, has backtracked on a threat to “slap” singer Azealia Banks.
Matt, lead singer and guitarist for rock band 1975, uses shock humor to get attention on social media. He spends a lot of time on social media arguing with his female followers.
But on Tuesday, Matt decided to take on Azealia Banks and threaten to “slap” fire out of the singer.
It all started when Azealia dissed British singer Charli XCX on X (formerly Twitter). Azealia commented on a photo of Charli XCX and wrote that the “Apple” singer “used to be sooo pretty.”
Matt rushed to Charli XCX’s defense by dragging Azealia’s looks and personality.
“Azealia you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to your ‘reads’. All the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and NICE people. I think this makes you jealous cos you’re so talented but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap bro,” he wrote.
Then he turned his attention to X users who trolled his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel for drinking raw milk. In an interview with High Snobiety, Gabby said, “I recently started drinking raw milk and I love it.”
One person wrote: “Let her drink the raw milk and sh*t out her intestines. I’m done advocating for rights these dummies don’t want.”
Others noted that cows don’t drink raw milk – cows prefer to drink water.
Matt responded to the comments by threatening to “slap” his followers.
Azealia then hopped in the comments to drag Gabby.
Matt warned Azealia “I am not the one,” after she described him as a “homosexual heroin addict” who looks like he and Gabby “share needles.”
Matt and Azealia’s followers are currently at war with each other on X. Matt later backtracked and halfway apologized for threatening to slap a woman.
