Azealia Banks tells Lily Allen: 'Your husband looks like a thumb'

Azealia Banks has tried to make an enemy of Lily Rose Cooper, nee Allen, by lashing out at the singer's husband and her children. Not five months after she sniped at Rita Ora and the Stone Roses, the queen of Twitter beef is at it again, calling Cooper's children "ugly" and accusing her of being addicted to cocaine.

It doesn't take much to set Banks off. Though the rapper's debut album has yet to surface, the 22-year-old appears to be spending less time in the studio than feuding on Twitter with everyone from Angel Haze to Glaad.

Last night's incident began when one of Banks's fans forwarded a tweet by Cooper from April 2012, "YOURE ALL JUST JEALOUS CAUSE IM SOOOOOOOO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL AND HAVE SUCH A PRETTY FACE," she joked at the time.

Banks, who yesterday released her new single #ATMJAM, decided to leap on the comment: "Weak," she tweeted, "[Lily] can't talk though. Not when I met her coked up at yoyo... And NOT with that ugly husband she has."

Cooper responded, but at first seemed ready to walk away from the interaction until Banks replied, "Your husband looks like a thumb."

"Not even gonna @ her but if she wants to talk about weak, I'm sure her record sales to date should suffice. One hit wonder," Cooper wrote. "And my husband? Don't go there bitch Or your totally unnecessary security detail may actually have something to worry about #wannabe ... Ps we all need thumbs."

Banks smelled blood and continued to berate the singer: "LOL ill be a one hit wonder but you have ugly children and a coke habit..... Shhhhhhh. #SHUTUP".

The dispute was capped off last night, when Cooper posted a photo of some beef.
