American rapper Azealia Banks has this week expressed her support for independent Senator Lidia Thorpe’s extraordinary tirade against King Charles.
The King had just finished his speech in the Great Hall of Canberra’s Parliament House when Ms Thorpe shouted a barrage of abuse at the monarch.
The controversial rapper has praised the senator’s actions, arguing that all white Australians should be deported.
“She ripped,” the 212 hitmaker wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, sharing a clip of Ms Thorpe’s rant.
“Like literally… what are the white people in Australia doing there?”
Azealia continued, revealing that she supported the deportation of white people from the country.
“I fully support the mass deportation to Britain for all white people in Australia,” she wrote.
“And all their assets, bank accounts and belongings should be confiscated and sent home barefoot.”

Azealia continued and followed up with a second shot, this time at the royal family, claiming they had nothing to do with Australia.
“The UK and the Queen’s Crown need to go pick up her naughty bebe’s kids and take them the fuck home,” her expletive-laden tirade continued.
“Give Scotland and Ireland their independence so they can build walls around themselves and not have to deal with an Australian migrant crisis and get Australia out.”
Azealia’s comments came after Senator Lidia Thorpe, a high-profile indigenous activist with a track record of stunts at major political events, shouted “f*** the colony” and “you are not my king” in Parliament on Monday House in Canberra.
Replying to a clip of Senator Thorpe’s outburst, Azaelia wrote: Literally… what the hell are white people in Australia doing there?’
“I fully support the mass deportation to Britain for all white people in Australia,” she wrote. “And all their property, bank accounts and belongings should be confiscated and sent home barefoot.”
Azaelia went further and followed the broadside with a second shot, this time at the Royal Family, claiming they had nothing to do with Australia.
‘Give us what you stole from us! Our bones, our skulls, our people, you have destroyed our country,” said Senator Thorpe.
‘Give us a treaty, we want a treaty in this country! This is not your country, this is not your country! You’re not my king, you’re not our king. You’re a genocide plotter!’
As she was dragged from the scene, she was heard shouting: “F*** the colony, f*** the colony.”
The reaction on social media to the controversial senator’s outburst was swift and brutal.

Senator Thorpe’s actions in Parliament were preceded by a bizarre altercation with police hours earlier.
As a small group of protesters outside the Australian War Memorial were ordered by police to move on, Ms Thorpe was seen arguing with a police officer holding her shirt.
She then took off her shirt and stormed away from the officer.
“Everything we suffer in this country is due to that colonial invasion,” she said after the fight.
Ms Thorpe, who was elected Greens senator for Victoria before leaving that party and becoming an independent, has often expressed her feelings towards the monarchy.
‘Give us a treaty, we want a treaty in this country! This is not your country, this is not your country! You’re not my king, you’re not our king. You’re a genocide plotter!’
Last year, she and representatives of eleven other countries signed a letter calling on King Charles to apologize for the consequences of colonization.
It’s not the first time Azealia has spilled the beans about Australia with the fiery rapper vowing never to return Down Under in 2022 after claiming a previous show in Brisbane was the “most racist, demoralizing experience” of her life.
‘I’m so sorry guys – actually I’m not sorry – but listen: the last time I was in Brisbane and you all threw s*** on stage and damn near f***ed me in the face with a bottle of soda or whatever that thing was,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I’m too far away from home… I’m a beautiful black woman and I’m not going to stand in front of an audience of white people and have them laugh at me. I’m so not sorry.
“I’m not sorry at all.”
The incident ended a disastrous tour for the rapper after planned performances in Melbourne and Sydney were postponed due to “visa issues”.
In 2013, she was targeted by Australian fans who threw items at her on stage and later described the Australian crowd as “violent and belligerent.”
Azealia apparently agreed to play Brisbane on the 2022 tour after her initial reluctance to strengthen safety measures, but then backed out, claiming her requests had been ignored.
