MUMBAI: Rapper Azealia Banks did not seem to regret her use of homophobic slur when she went ballistic on a flight from New York to Los Angeles earlier this week.
The ‘Chasing time’ hitmaker landed in hot water after being caught on camera hitting a fellow passenger, a French man, who blocked her exit as they pulled their luggage from the overhead bin.
When a male flight attendant tried to calm her down, the 24-year-old hip-hop star called him a “f***ing f***ot.”

She complained about the double standard people use to judge others’ choice of words, saying, “America picks and chooses” and she also pointed out that it is a “major part of American culture that has to change.”
Showing no remorse, she added, “I only owe an apology to my fans.”
I've said my piece. I apologized to my fans. There's nothing else I can do.
