The feud betweenAzealia BanksandRussell Crowehas 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."
Aswe 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.

Back at it again,Keen takes it to another level from a prosperous summer time run.The Queens native goes from showing his side of town in Love My Style delivering the lyrics to the forefront. Now following up that video from earlier this year here is the new video "Let It Ring".
The video starts off with him and a female who love his carisma and style out and about in a small restaurant within the town. As always eyes are watching on this particular female due to the fact she is already taken and reported on her where abouts. Leaving the restaurant they both get it on in the hotel room as her boyfriend continues to look for her, just letting the phone ring.
This is leading up to the new project coming soon from the Queens rapper "Keen Sweat" in which will display an array of skills and records.
Trouble continues to prove himself as one of the most original artists in ATL with his new track Dig, produced by Cassius Jay.
Trouble, one of the most potent forces in Zone 6, is back with new music. He hasn’t dropped much since May’s Skoobzilla, though the tape was so damn hard that he hasn’t had to. Each song is its own street gospel, and his hard-earned street narratives create a visceral listening experience each time. Best believe his return track is gonna be a good one. The new one from Trouble is called “Dig,” and as shown on the cover artwork, it serves as a tribute to the late rapper and Atlanta bossman OG Double D, who was affiliated with Future’s Freebandz team. The trap-meets-swing production comes from Cassius Jay, a recent selection for Behind The Beat.
It’s hard to pin down what’s so special about Trouble’s style, as there isn’t a trending style he’s adhering to. He’s a master of timing even while remaining wholly conversational. His flows slow and quicken in concord with his emotions, and he’s able to work in catchy hooks as well as high-adrenaline verses all in one improvisational burst. I see Skoobzilla 2 written in the SoundCloud tags. “Dig” is a very promising start.
Trouble tells us that “Double D was a hustler and an inspiration to a lotta us on the Eastside. He was a real dude having real paper. Once he linked wit Future/Freebandz he was able to show the world his flava. Double D made you smile whether you wanted to or not.” RIP to the OG.
Russell CroweandAzealia Banksgot into a confrontation over the weekend that resulted in the "Gladiator" star throwing the rapper out of his hotel suite.
That much is agreed upon by Banks and other witnesses, but the exact details of why it happened and what exactly transpired depends on who you ask.
According to TMZ, The incident occurred at Crowe's suite at a Beverly Hills hotel Saturday, October 15, where he'd invited about 10 people over to have dinner and listen to music.
Rapper, producer, actor and director,RZA, brought Banks with him to the get-together.
Problems began when Banks allegedly called one of the guests "boring white men," after laughing out loud at the music Crowe had selected.
When told to quiet down by a female guest the "212" rapper launched into a bizarre rant.
"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," she allegedly said.
When Banks grabbed her glass and cocked it back, Crowe put her in a bear hug, threw her out of the suite, then called hotel security and had her removed from the property.
Banks posted a different version of events on her Facebook page.
"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."
TMZ reports that RZA says it was Banks who used the N-word, not Crowe. Four other guests told investigators that the rapper was acting "erratic."
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The 15-year-old daughter of Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay has been fatally shot in Kentucky, the athlete's agent and authorities said Sunday.
Trinity Gay died at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, the coroner's office for Fayette County said in a statement. The athlete's agent, Mark Wetmore, confirmed in a text message to The Associated Press that Gay's daughter had died.
Lexington police said in a statement that officers went to the parking lot of a restaurant near the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington about 4 a.m. Sunday after witnesses reported gunfire was exchanged between two vehicles. Officers located one of the vehicles and stopped two people for questioning, the statement added.
Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said police don't believe Trinity Gay was in either of the vehicles involved.
Tyson Gay competed in the last three Summer Olympics. He was part of a team that won a silver medal in the 4x100-meter relay at the 2012 London Games though that medal was ultimately stripped after Gay tested positive for steroids in 2013.
Trinity Gay was a sprinter at Lafayette High in Lexington and finished fourth in the 100 meters and fifth in the 200 meters at the state Class 3A high school track meet in May, records show. She also ran on a 4x200 relay team that finished fourth. Her father also ran at Lafayette and still holds the state record in the 100 set in 2001.
The police statement didn't identify Trinity Gay by name, saying a juvenile who was struck at the scene was taken by private vehicle to the UK Hospital and later pronounced dead.
Police were still searching for the second vehicle, police said, adding they are continuing to investigate.
A tweet from Kentucky High School Athletic Association Commissioner Julian Tackett said he was stunned by the death: "Shocked to hear of death of Trinity Gay. A life of such potential cut so tragically short. Sympathies to Tyson and entire family."

Youngsta told Vlad his first time being shot at was when he was 8 or 9 years old after he and his friends jumped an older man. "All my life I've been shot at I just never took it too serious..." Youngsta told Vlad he was shot three times 3 or 4 years ago and that's when he started taking being shot at serious. "Wrong place wrong time...I ain't have my gun on me, where I come from I was gonna ride through and hit anyway...I got shot off some sh*t I don't even know about to this day." Youngsta got hit in his leg and his arm when he was the target of gun violence.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to make the news for all the wrong reasons.
The Daily Beast reports that during the 13th season of NBC reality television show "The Apprentice," also know as "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice,' Trump kept referring to Lil Jon as "Uncle Tom."
The controversy began during a segment in which the rapper dressed as Uncle Sam to promote hair-care products.
“Look, he’s Uncle Tom!” one show staffer recalls the business mogul saying twice.
"Uncle Tom" is a term used to describe black men who are excessively obedient or servile to white people.
Arsenio Hall, who was a guest judge during the episode, heard Trump using the offensive term and made it known he didn't like it.
“We kept trying to explain to [Trump] that that’s not a word you can use, that it’s offensive,” another Apprentice employee told The Daily Beast. “One of the executive producers had to call him up directly to [plead with] him not to say it, and Trump was like, ‘No, that’s a saying, it’s Uncle Tom.’ There are several takes in the footage of the dailies that has him trying to figure out the difference between ‘Uncle Tom’ and Uncle Sam. He just couldn’t grasp that it was offensive… When [Trump] decides he wants to do something, that’s his way.”
Lil Jon addressed the issue via his Twitter account on Friday, October 14th.
"When this 'Uncle Tom' incident happened on Celebrity Apprentice in the boardroom several of my cast mates and I addressed Mr. Trump immediately when we heard the comment," he wrote. "I can't say if he knew what he was actually saying or not but he did stop using that term once we explained it's offensiveness. I also want to be clear that I don't agree with many of the statements Mr. Trump has said during his current run for President."
