Things got heated online between Azealia Banks and Bebe Rexha after this year’s 2025 Met Gala, where fashion usually steals the spotlight—but this time, so did the drama.
Bebe Rexha showed up to the blue carpet in a sleek black gown with a plunging neckline and a sparkling diamond necklace. While many praised her glam look, Azealia Banks wasn’t feeling it and took a jab at her on social media.
The “212” rapper posted a harsh comment, saying Bebe’s look reminded her of “a hormonal birth control implant” and went on to compare it to contraceptive methods like Implanon, NuvaRing, and Depo-Provera shots, implying something was “off” with her appearance. The comment came off as a mix of body-shaming and medical jabs—unsurprisingly, it didn’t go over well.
Bebe Rexha didn’t hold back in her response. She clapped back with a sharp but thoughtful reply, asking if Banks might want to consider therapy. She even recommended Lexapro, an antidepressant, saying it helped her and might help Banks with the “deep-rooted sadness and chaos” she keeps projecting onto others. “Healing looks good on everyone. Try it,” she added.
After dropping that truth bomb, Rexha posted again a few minutes later, signing off with a peaceful, “Ok I’m gonna go enjoy my day now. Have a good day everyone. Love you.”
For those who don’t know, Bebe has previously been open about her struggles with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and its impact on her fertility and body weight. She even once shared that she had experienced a miscarriage, a deeply personal loss she had kept private until recently. In her words, “Maybe now you’ll think twice before commenting on anyone’s body.”
While Rexha seemed ready to move on from the drama, Banks wasn’t done. She fired off more posts, now targeting Lexapro, warning that it causes weight gain and telling Rexha to stop taking it. The posts reignited the conversation and pushed the feud even further.
And it wasn’t just Bebe who caught heat—Azealia Banks also took aim at other celebs, criticizing Sabrina Carpenter’s outfit and even mocking Katy Perry’s AI-generated Met Gala image, which had gone viral.
In short: what started as a Met Gala fashion moment turned into a full-blown online war, bringing up issues like body image, mental health, and internet cruelty. Whether this feud will die down or keep escalating remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: Bebe isn’t afraid to speak her truth, and Azealia is unapologetically outspoken, for better or worse.
