Rapper Azealia Banks took to Twitter Monday to explain an Instagram photo in which she appeared in “whiteface.” However, in the process of clarifying the intent of the image, she referred to white people as “crackers,” and also referenced the N-word.
Banks originally posted this photo, which turned a few heads:

She was reportedly putting on the makeup to transform into an ice princess for a video shoot, but by the time she was finished “explaining,” she had given herself new set of public relations issues.
She tweeted to set the record straight:
***Language Warning***

She also had a few words for members of the LGBT community who were critical of her, posted soon after a gay Vice editor published an article accusing her of homophobia:
Gay media has to stop using homophobia as a means to try and victimize itself and scar the names of its opponents.
