Sending positive thoughts to Azealia Banks. The industry and the internet has treated her extremely unfairly. Yes she’s said & done some nasty things but so have many other celebrities with bipolar disorder, yet they are met with empathy and “free passes” while she is demonised. pic.twitter.com/U2By5E0eqJ
