The feud between Azealia Banks and Russell Crowe has gone nuclear.
According to TMZ, Banks went to the police and filed a battery report against the Oscar Award-winning actor Sunday, October 16, claiming he choked, spit on her and called her a nigger.
"To recap my night, I went to a party at Russell Crowe's suite, at which he called me a nigger, choked me, threw me out and spat at me," she wrote in the now deleted post that was captured by Hollywood Gossip. "Last night was one of the hardest nights of sleep I've had in a long time. The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today. And just weak as fuck man. I want to fucking die. Just feel so low and mishandled and alone and fucking depressed right now. I wish I had someone to beat him up for me."
As we previously reported, this stems from an incident that occurred Saturday, October 15, inside of Crowe's Beverly Hills hotel suite where he was hosting a dinner and music listening get-together for about 10 people.
RZA of the Wu Tang Clan brought Banks to the event. She reportedly recently inked a record deal with the producer.
Some witnesses claim the Harlem, New York rapper was acting "erratic," laughed out loud at Crowe's music selection and made a remark to at least one male guest about "boring white men."
A female party goer insisted Banks chill out.
The 25-year allegedly responded by saying, "You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino shit."
After she grabbed a glass and cocked it, Crowe put Banks in a bear hug, threw her out of his suite, then had hotel security remove her from the premises.
Banks later demanded that Crowe apologize for the the way she was treated. When he refused she went to the Beverly Hills police and filed the battery report.
Raymani, Banks' agent, commented via his Twitter account about the incident, saying his client was "shell shocked."
"A statement has been issued regarding my client Azealia Banks, 'Azealia is tremendously distraught and disheartened. She is shell shocked and will speak out on the incident once she has had time to process the brutality and abuse she was unjustly subjected to,'" he wrote.

Banks posted on her Facebook paqe that she has proof to back up her claims.
Where this will go from here is unclear. Crowe insists he won't apologize because he doesn't think he did anything wrong.
