Bebe Rexha answers Azealia Banks’ Met Gala diss with a painful confession: ‘Maybe now you’ll think twice’

BBG News

At the 2025 Met Gala, Bebe Rexha faced criticism from Azealia Banks, but instead of retaliating with toxicity, she responded by revealing a health issue and showing vulnerability. This was in response to Banks’ comments about Rexha’s appearance at the event.

The Grammy-nominated artist who wore a custom Christian Siriano dress to the Met Gala recently revealed in a now-deleted tweet that she has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and experienced a pregnancy loss. Earlier on Monday, Banks, who did not attend the Met Gala, made a comment about Rexha’s photo from the fashion event, suggesting that she might need to have her hormonal birth control implant removed or stop receiving Depo-Provera injections.

The singer-songwriter famed for “Chase It,” who has previously stood up against body-shaming commentators, expressed in a recent post that she had grown tired of remarks concerning her physical appearance. In her message, she disclosed her struggle with infertility and shared that she had conceived but unfortunately the pregnancy didn’t succeed. The specific timeframe of the pregnancy was not provided in the post.

In a playful and provocative display of masculinity, Zendaya donned a stylish, cream-colored Louis Vuitton suit, while Whoopi Goldberg embodied the air of a Victorian-era intellectual dandy.

For a long time, I’ve been bearing that hurt quietly,” she went on. “I didn’t have to share that truth with anyone, but perhaps now you’ll pause before making judgments about the bodies of others.

On Tuesday, Rexha reinforced her stance against Banks with a second tweet, mirroring the rapper’s history of confrontational social media exchanges. Previously, Banks has had public disputes with multiple artists such as Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Iggy Azalea, Rihanna, and Doechii, to name a few. In her tweet, the singer of “In the Name of Love” advised Banks to consider professional assistance, specifically therapy and medication for depression and anxiety management.

For me, Lexapro was very effective,” she posted on Twitter. “Perhaps it could help with the profound sadness and confusion you’ve been expressing. Everyone seems to benefit from healing. Give it a try.

Following Rexha’s tweet, it appears that Banks was unwilling to back down and suggested a connection between the singer’s Lexapro use and her miscarriage. “I also had a miscarriage while on SSRI’s,” Banks stated, followed by an encouragement for her recent social media opponent to discontinue using SSRI’s altogether.

Entertainment & Arts

As a movie aficionado, I find myself sharing Bebe Rexha’s sentiments regarding the potential skip of the 2023 VMAs. Her apprehension over the red-carpet experience resonates with me as it often brings about a whirlwind of emotions – excitement, nerves, and sometimes, discomfort. It’s disheartening to see such an accomplished artist express feelings of stress due to comments about her weight. I truly hope that the VMAs provide a more inclusive and supportive environment for all artists in the future.

Monday saw Rexha making her first appearance at the Met Gala. Joining a multitude of entertainers, artists, and business magnates, she graced the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City with her stylish presence. Notable attendees included Doechii, Janelle Monáe, Zendaya, Diana Ross, Rihanna (who announced her third pregnancy), among others. The event was jointly overseen by Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour. Although LeBron James was designated as an honorary co-chair, he couldn’t attend due to an injury.
