Azealia Banks Returns to Tel Aviv Amid Controversy | Hip-Hop News

Azealia Banks is back in Tel Aviv for a high-profile October 8th show, reportedly working on new music with an Israeli producer — amid a raging cultural divide in hip-hop over Palestine. Known for her provocative past, she once wore an Israeli flag onstage and defended her Zionism while criticizing Black solidarity with Palestinians. Now, as over 400 artists boycott Israeli platforms, Banks openly questions why Black Americans support a cause she says lacks shared history or mutual benefit — all while her Tel Aviv tickets sell out at nearly $700.
