Azealia Banks attempts to raise $100,000 on GoFundMe to sue Russell Crowe

Azealia Banks has created a GoFundMe page in order to raise $100,000 to sue Russell Crowe.

The rapper is suing the Australian actor after an altercation the pair had in 2016.

The 27-year-old was removed from the Oscar-winning actor’s hotel suite two years ago after eyewitnesses alleged she made violent threats.

Azelia, however, recalled the event differently, taking to Facebook to give her account of the event.

She alleges, “he choked me, threw me out and spat at me.”

“The men in the room allowed it to happen,” she finished.

The musician is now looking for the public to help her raise $100,000 after being caused “irreparable damage to my acting career and my reputation” by the 54-year-old star.

On the fundraiser page Azealia explained her reasons for wanting to raise the money.

She said, “Russell Crowe spit on me at a party in 2016 and denied it, had a group of people gaslight me causing irreparable damage to my acting career and my reputation as well as loads of emotional damage…”

“Whatever money comes of this will be donated to ocean clean up charities”

Random photo of me in Paris at the W hotel – 2015. I believe this picture was taken in my favorite suite there… room #212. Still can’t find this dress. I think it was by Valentino. This was my favorite dress for a while I would pair it with Frederic Malle’s “lipstick rose” perfume. Somehow that perfume only smelled good when I wore this dress. – sidebar: if anyone has one of these dresses in a size 2 or 4 and in good condition I’d be very happy to buy it from you!! This was my witch dress!!

“This isn’t about a big payday for me, it’s about letting the world know that black women are victims to the same sort of disgusting violence men in Hollywood deal out to women and it’s important to send a message that black women also deserve justice and will get justice in these situations.”

“Crowe called me a nigger, choked me, and spat on me… if I were a white singer he wouldn’t have even thought about laying a finger on me. So many things like this happen in the entertainment industry and it’s time that ALL these perpetrators get reprimanded so they STOP this violent behaviour !!

The GoFundMe page, which was created two days ago, has raised $1,853 so far.

However, several sources, including Wu-Tang Clan member RZA, insist that Azealia was the aggressive one.

One witness told The Daily Mail that she was acting “erratically” and disliked Russell’s music selection.

The LA District Attorney can support the statement that Azealia was, in fact, the aggressor in a statement, “The physical escort out of the room was justified to prevent the imminent violence threatened by Banks.”
