Rap stars Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea got into another heated exchange on Twitter after Banks accused the Australian-born hip hop artist of culturally appropriating black culture and music while ignoring issues that plague black people.

The racially charged beef started after the 23-year-old Harlem native began tweeting on Wednesday about the grand jury decision not to indict the white police officer who killed Eric Garner, reports Us Weekly. Banks then directed her frustration with racism towards Azalea, accusing the white rapper of exploiting black music for money and fame.

"its funny to see people Like Igloo Australia silent when these things happen..." Banks said, referring to the 24-year-old "Fancy" rapper. "Black Culture is cool, but black issues sure aren't huh?"

"LOL... I'M PETTY, but it's so true, ugh, that wannabe black girl s--t makes me wanna throw a jar of my piss at her LMFAOOOO," she said, adding, "Like, fill a jar with piss and mayo and eggs and just dump that s--t on that b---h's head LMFAOOOOOOO."

The "212" rapper cited a quote by famous comedian Paul Mooney about white people who emulate black culture.

"If you're down to ride with us b----h you gotta RIDE ALL THE WAY. 'EVERYBODY WANNA BE BLACK, BUT DON'T NOBODY WANNA BE BLACK' - PAUL MOONEY."

Banks also compared her to superstar Nicki Minaj.

"The media needs to STOP trying to move igloo in on what Nicki has established," Banks wrote. "Nicki is a hard-working rap-BEAST. stop trying to degrade and BELITTLE Our culture with this f--king kkk iggy s--t."

She ended her tirade against the blonde rapper by tweeting at her directly, writing, "I just really want to know what your fascination with Black women is..... Why do you want to act like us? I need to know... Why do you imitate us in such a way that i feel like you are actually making fun of us? Why?"

Hours later, Azalea responded saying, "I see all hell broke loose while I was at rehearsals today," reports E! News.

She also addressed her rival head on, writing: "There's more to sparking a change than trolling on social media. World issues shouldn't be used as a poor excuse to promote fan battles... Make sure you do something to let YOUR government know how you feel when something is unjust., not JUST your followers on twitter... Make sure you sign petitions, hit the streets and protest or donate to groups helping to support and rebuild the community too."

"Also try not to judge anothers support or 'lack there of' solely on if they have ranted on twitter about it, thats not right or helpful," Azalea continued. "The world is too hung up on what is or isnt said on twitter... There's an actual world out there and multiple ways you can promote change... Be mad but be productive, please!"
