Azealia Banks has, it seems, been shut down by Twitter after an outrageous homophobic and racist rant was sent on her verified Twitter account to former One Direction star Zayn Malik.
She has also been removed as the headline act at London’s Born And Bred Festival after organisers saying they could not tolerate Banks’ language.
The rant included calling the former One Direction singer a faggot as well as using racial slurs. The UK’s Home Office is reportedly investigating to see whether Ms Banks will be allowed into the country for any future engagements.
“Coming to the UK is a privilege, and we expect those who come here to respect our shared values. The Home Secretary has the power to exclude an individual if she considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good or if their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds.”
The entertainer’s account on Twitter appears to be suspended.

A second attack against a gay man has happened in Brighton just days after another attack on two boyfriends which left one fearing for his sight.
Police in Brighton have confirmed that an arrest has been made in connection to this latest attack but have warned Brighton’s gay community to be vigilant against homophobia in the popular seaside town.
In this latest attack, former model Aaron Woods, 26, was left unconscious and with a broken jaw when he tried to defend two men who said they were being homophobically abused by a man.
When Mr Wood tried to intervene he says he was knocked to the floor – and doesn’t remember what happened next.
The alleged attack happened outside the Legends nightclub on Brighton’s seafront. Speaking to The Argus, Mr Woods said,
“My memory is pretty hazy but apparently I stepped in to help out these two young gay guys and he hit me. I went down and the next thing I knew I was in hospital covered in blood.
“It was a very heavy blow.
“I haven’t been able to sleep since the attack. I cant relax. I am absolutely terrified. I’m usually a very trusting person but this is scary.”
Mr. Woods, who is from Eastbourne, went on to say that he would never return to Brighton.
Mr Wood’s friend Katie Ripley along with a Legend’s doorman apprehended the the 21-year-old suspect from London. He has been charged with GBH with intent.
Prime Minister David Cameron has told the House of Commons that he wants NHS England to make a decision on funding Pre Exposure Prophylaxis PrEP Drugs on the National Health Service.
During his Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) today, David Cameron told the House Of Commons that he wanted a decision from NHS England this month on whether they would fund PrEP, a game changing anti-HIV drug, that has had incredible results in stopping new HIV infections.
The PM said that he recognised the growing rate of HIV in the UK and that he was pressing for a decision about the service’s ability to offer the PrEP drugs to those most at risk of contracting HIV.
During his PMQs MP Mike Freer asked,
“HIV infection rates are on the rise. NHS England has refused to fund Pre Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) drugs. Will he meet with me and leading charities to review?”
Responding, David Cameron said,
“NHS England is reconsidering this, I want them to make a decision this month. I recognise the growing rate of HIV in this country. I’ll make sure he gets the meetings he needs.”
NHS England said that it would continue to pay for PEP, a treatment that can prevent HIV infection after the virus has entered a person’s body, but has fallen short from offering PrEP.
Ian Green, CEO at Terrence Higgins Trust, welcomed the statement saying,
“We welcome David Cameron committing NHS England to making a long overdue decision on HIV prevention game changer, PrEP, this month. Thank you to Mike Freer for continuing to champion this life changing HIV prevention tool.
“We urgently need NHS England to make PrEP available for those most at risk. Every day this is delayed, seven men who have sex with men are infected with HIV.”
Pride season is upon us. Hundreds of thousands LGBTI folk up and down the nation will be visiting Pride festivals all over the UK… Here’s what you should take with you.
With Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people visiting one of over 60 prides across the UK, it’s a good idea to go prepared. They are often crowded and expensive and outdoors so here’s our top 10 tips on how to survive pride.
1) Raincoat

Pack a raincoat. I know it’s not sexy – make it a Vivienne Westwood if you have to, but the British weather can not be relied upon to be good. Make sure it has a hood – hair straighteners won’t work in the middle of a field in a portaloo.
2) Battery Powerpack

Smartphones are amazing at capturing the moment whether it’s through pictures, face time or you being able to update your social about who’s doing who. The only problem is the battery never lasts long enough. So grab a power source. Pride in London have released their very own this year – well worth the £12.00 – plus they come already charged.
3) Medication

Only the legal sort. Take painkillers. Nothing kills the moment than a stinking hideous headache caused by whatever this year’s headliner is supposed to be. Also take any meds you take on a daily basis. Take a 24 hour supply – just in case you don’t go back to yours.
4) Secret Tenner
Stuff it in your pants, your socks or secret it away somewhere else. You’ll never know when it might come in handy.
5) Uber
If you find yourself in a place you don’t know summon an Uber cab. If your area doesn’t yet have Uber then make sure you know the local cab firm’s telephone number or download their app. Make sure you have enough battery on your phone to make that call.
6) Sun protection

Despite the fact that it’s overcast you can still get burnt to buggery so make sure you wear sunblock. If you’re looking for a sunblock that doesn’t go all white and sticky so you look like a sweaty pig – we suggest Image Skincare prevention + daily matt moisturiser – expensive but well worth the extra.
7) Condoms and lube
You might get lucky so bring some protection and you might even get lucky with more than one person so bring lots. If you don’t use them – share them with your mates – make sure they’re protected too!
If you end up at someone else’s place you might want to bring a spare pair of undies – you know so the walk of shame isn’t so Ewwww.
9) Antibacterial lotion
The last thing you want to do is pick up a bug from one of the many thousands of people who will attend pride, so pick up some anti-bacterial lotion. Many of the portaloos provided at pride will also have anti-bacterial handwash for free.
A conceptual artist has apparently cut off his nipples and his belly button to sell them on eBay.
London based Artist Karim Boumjimar has apparently cut off both his nipples and his belly button and is planning to sell them on eBay.
Taking to his Twitter account Mr Boumjimar said that nipples “are useless” and since he’s removed his nipples and belly button he’s become very fast at swimming.
The Spanish-Moroccanaritst, who is now based in London has filled his social channels with pictures of his bare – nippleless chest showing the results of his surgey, which appears to be completely scarless.
He plans on selling his nipples, which both have piercings through them, on eBay and he is planning to make a necklace out of his belly button. He is hoping to sell for £500 to £1000 to help paid for the cost of surgery.
The claims have made many question the authenticity of the pictures uploaded to his social media. Some have suggested that he photoshopped his nipples and belly button out. However according to an interview with Dazed he had them removed in Bosnia, and plans to go back this summer to have more body alterations.
When asked if it was real, he added, “Oh, no no it’s real.”
Mr. Boumjimar also has a shop in which he sells his art, which includes an Aldi plastic bag vest top, reduced from £1000 to £200, MacDonald’s salt packet earings for £5.00 and “Organic” cigarette earrings for £15.00.

It’s Nicole Scherzinger. The singer is apparently due to make a return to judging the ITV talent show. She was last seen in 2013, when she helped Sam Bailey win the competition. She also championed with James Arthur and was responsible for allowing Rylan Clark through the judges houses.
The Sun is reporting that the former Pussy Cat Doll front woman is due to step in after Rita Ora suddenly quit the judging panel after just one year in the seat.
It is thought that she’ll join Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell for what could be the last season of the talent show.
To celebrate this week’s launch of The Angry Birds Movie (releasing May 13th), Peperami has commissioned a new poll which shows that punching your producer in the face is apparently not enough to secure the title as Britain’s angriest celebrity. TV personality Katie Hopkins has instead won this accolade. Katie received one in five of the 2,000 votes cast (20%), although the vote was swung by women, a quarter of whom voted for her, while men narrowly favoured Jeremy Clarkson for the top spot.
More than a decade of firings on The Apprentice secured Lord Alan Sugar third place, while Dennis Skinner MP came in fourth, having recently been removed from the House of Commons following an unseemly jibe at the Prime Minister who, himself appears in ninth place in the national poll.
David Cameron is not, however, perceived to be the angriest of the party leaders, with Nigel Farage taking that title, appearing in sixth place with 8% of the vote. Nicola Sturgeon and Jeremy Corbyn fall outside the top ten in positions 14 and 16 respectively.
Spokesperson for Peperami, The Animal, was enraged not to be featured in the top ten and said:
“Who is this woman anyway? You want to see angry? I’ll show you angry…”
The research revealed the top ten angriest celebrities and high profile individuals in Britain:
1. Katie Hopkins 2. Jeremy Clarkson 3. Lord Alan Sugar 4. Dennis Skinner MP 5. Jeremy Kyle 6. Nigel Farage 7. Simon Cowell 8. Andy Murray 9. David Cameron 10. Janet Street-Porter
