Azealia Banks Started a GoFundMe to Sue Russell Crowe

Azealia Banks is known for being the one to provoke a feud; however, the controversial rapper has a problem with Russell Crowe for something he reportedly did to her in 2016.

She claims the actor spit on her and forcefully removed her from a hotel party in Beverly Hills, and now she has started a GoFundMe to help fun a lawsuit filing against Crowe.

"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," the fundraiser's bio states. 

"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," the 27-year-old added.

"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 behavior," Banks concluded.

Azealia originally filed a battery report against Russell Crowe, claiming she was choked, spit on, and called a racial slur by the 54-year-old in October 2016 but later dropped the case. At the time of publication, her fundraiser has earned $2,000 of its $100,000 goal.
