Kanye West has been getting slammed on social media after he spoke highly of Donald Trump on “SNL” over the weekend. And one of the people who blasted him was pop singer Lana Del Rey, who then got a heated response from Azealia Banks. “Trump becoming our president was a loss for the country but your support of him is a loss for the culture,” wrote Del Rey, who sung at Kanye and Kim Kardashian‘s wedding. “I can only assume you relate to his personality on some level,” she added. “Delusions of grandeur, extreme issues with narcissism. If you think it’s alright to support someone who believes it’s okay to grab a woman by the p—y just because he’s famous, then you need an intervention as much as he does.” That’s when Banks chimed in and said Del Rey is using West to make herself look like she’s in the political know. She also said the singer is involved in witchcraft. “Don’t use Kanye for your own vapid attempts to seem politically aware when there is so much more bootleg witchcr...

In theory, the feud between rapper Azealia Banks and tech titan Elon Musk should be a fantastic summer drama.

After a few days’ respite, Banks is back to spilling details of her travails with Grusk: This week she  revealed some texts  between herself and Grimes where the two contemplate getting pregnant at the same time, and Banks declares herself “a very fierce protector of children [who] can see them in the invisible world.” She...

Millions of followers just woke up to the startling prospect of life without Elon Musk Instagram updates. That means no scenes from a Jerusalem speakeasy. No “motherf%^$# mashed potato” captions. No previews of SpaceX spacesuits. And they can forget about those candid date-night shots. Perhaps the Tesla TSLA, +3.94%  boss is taking the next step toward minimizing his mercurial social presence by shutting down his popular Insta account. After all, he shuttered some of his companies’ Facebook pages earlier this year, saying Facebook FB, +0.44% which owns Instagram, gave him “the willies.” The timing, however, has some tongues on the internet wagging. The vanishing of his account comes amid unfolding drama involving Musk, the musician Grimes, who has been dating Musk, and rapper Azealia Banks. It started last week when Banks said she’d been hanging out at Musk’s house and,  according to Business Insider , she overheard him “scrounging for investors” after  his i...
