Rose of Tralee Kirsten Mate Maher responds – after Azealia Banks calls her an ‘ugly Irish girl’

The reigning Rose has hit back at the rapper

Azealia Banks has been hitting headlines for all the wrong reasons this week, after she branded Irish girls as “ugly” on her Instagram Story.

The 212 rapper hit headlines on Monday after she removed herself from an Aer Lingus flight, following a row with staff on board.

During a furious rant on her Instagram Story, Azealia made harsh comments about the “ugly Irish” air hostess she was dealing with, and continued to brand Irish women as “ugly”.

After receiving backlash for her comments, the 27-year-old refused to apologise, and continued to poke fun at her comments on Instagram.

In a bid to defend Irish women, Instagram user @caithillnails decided to protest Azealia’s comments by sharing photos of Irish women – including Ireland’s reigning Rose of Tralee Kirsten Kate Maher.

She captioned the post, “You were saying @azealiabanks ?!” alongside the hashtag “#uglyirishgirl”.

Azealia then reposted the image, and wrote, “Nah you’re chopped sis.”

The 21-year-old Rose then responded by posting a selfie of her pouting on Instagram.

She captioned her cheeky post, “@azealiabanks @ me then ️ Kisses from a #uglyirishgirl #creased.”
