Interview: Rethinking Political Allegiances – A Conversation with Azealia Banks
Time.news Editor: Welcome, Azealia! It’s great to have you here. You’ve made quite a splash recently by switching your political support from Donald Trump to Kamala Harris. What sparked this significant shift in your views?
Azealia Banks: Thanks for having me! Honestly, it was a combination of frustration and concern. I’ve been watching the political landscape shift, and seeing Elon Musk’s influence creep into politics is alarming to me. I knew I had to take a stand against that, even if it meant stepping away from my previous support.
Time.news Editor: That’s interesting. You’ve historically been an outspoken supporter of Trump, which surprised many fans with your recent announcement. How do you think this change reflects your personal growth or the evolution of your beliefs?
Azealia Banks: Well, I think as we grow, our values can change, and that’s perfectly okay. I’ve always been known for my unapologetic opinions, whether it’s about music or politics. My support for Trump stemmed from some shared values at the time, but as he aligned himself with Musk, it just felt wrong to hold onto that. I realized I need to vote for what I believe is best for the future, and that’s not Musk getting any power.
Time.news Editor: You mentioned in your X account that Kamala Harris is “stupid and incoherent.” Can you elaborate on that? Is your support really for her, or more against Musk’s potential political power?
Azealia Banks: It’s both, honestly. I think Harris has her flaws, and it’s okay to call out those flaws. At the same time, I’m passionate about ensuring someone like Musk — who doesn’t know the first thing about governance — doesn’t get the chance to influence policies that affect our lives. Supporting Harris is a necessary step, even if I don’t agree with everything she represents.
Time.news Editor: It seems there’s a lot of history between you and Musk, especially after the 2018 incident involving Grimes. Do you think personal experiences in Hollywood shape our political beliefs?
Azealia Banks: Absolutely! Our experiences in the industry color our perceptions of public figures. The incident with Grimes and Musk left a bad taste in my mouth. It wasn’t just about collaboration; it was about feeling sidelined and neglected. When you see someone with that level of influence act irresponsibly, it naturally shapes your viewpoint.
Time.news Editor: You’ve expressed your disappointment in Trump as well, especially regarding his association with Musk. What do you think that says about loyalty in political affiliations?
Azealia Banks: Loyalty in politics is tricky. There’s often this unspoken pact to support a figure no matter what. For me, supporting Trump meant something positive in the beginning, but when loyalty overrides principles, it’s a problem. If my values don’t align with what a leader does, it’s time to reassess that loyalty.
Time.news Editor: In closing, Azealia, what would you like your fans to take away from this political evolution of yours?
Azealia Banks: I want them to understand that it’s okay to change your mind and grow. Politics is about the greater good, not just personal affiliations. Don’t be afraid to challenge what you believe or who you support, and always be vocal about your convictions, even if it stirs the pot.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Azealia. Your insights are thought-provoking, and I appreciate you opening up about your journey.
Azealia Banks: Thank you! It’s been a pleasure discussing this. Let’s keep the conversation going!
