Chill, chill, chill. Despite what she led you to believe, Azealia Banks didn't do whiteface. Earlier today she posted the behind-the-scenes photo below with the caption "#whiteface." Later on she clarified that she was just getting ice princess makeup for, you guessed it, her "Ice Princess" video. Photos of the finished job confirmed her explanation.

So, no Banks isn't racist. She's just a troll. And maybe prejudiced for using "cracker."
