Azealia Banks or Kremlin mouthpiece? - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



Azealia Banks is trending again – but not because of her music. In a shocking series of statements, the rapper praised Vladimir Putin, mocked a Ukrainian POW, and repeated Kremlin-style talking points on Russia’s war against Ukraine.

In this episode of Break the Fake, Benjamin Lee tells you more about Azealia’s deleted posts, her public pro-Putin stance, and the disturbing trend of Western celebrities being used as propaganda tools.
