Watch Azealia Banks' new music video Luxury
Just as the title says, the Harlem rapper Azealia Banks lives a life of luxury in her newly premiered video for her single "Luxury" off Fantasea mixtape. Directed by Clarence Fuller, the clip reveals the "212" rapper performing against the New York skyline and dancing on a few rooftops.
The release of the "Luxury" video comes after Banks pulled her new single "Esta Noche" on the day of release earlier this week (September 25) after its producer blasted her on Twitter, claiming she didn't have permission to use the song.
The track was by Rotterdam-based producer Munchi and was due to be released as a single on Tuesday, however, this was scuppered after Munchi took to Twitter to claim the track had been prepped for release without his permission. He also claimed he was offered $25,000 and then $50,000 and a public apology in exchange for his cooperation, which he appears to have rejected in no uncertain terms in a string of tweets:
"No releasing my track, being a spoiled brat, releasing coverwork, release dates before even reaching out is a good look right?" he wrote. "Tell your camp the deal is off I don't want your fucking $25.000. Fuck off. Go be a puppet bitch to someone else."
Azealia Banks will begin her sold out UK tour at Manchester Club Academy tomorrow night (September 28). On October 13, Banks hosts her Mermaid Ball at the London Aquarium, which will see performances from Banks and surprise special guests.
