Matty Healy and Azealia Banks became embroiled in a seriously messy X fight on Tuesday evening, leaving social media users absolutely stunned.
British singer Matty was forced to backtrack after he threatened to “slap” Azealia “so hard” that he would get a Guinness World Record after she insulted his fiancée Gabbriette.
And the whole thing actually started when Azealia quote-tweeted an old clip of Charli and wrote: “Charli used to be soooo pretty. Ugh. Boaaa, I swear them weho gays be having the girls questioning themselves meanwhile they all scraping k off a cookie sheet, eating cold bossanova and sharing panties. Tuh.”
Defending his friend, Matty responded by writing: “Azealia you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to your ‘reads’. All the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and NICE people. I think this makes you jealous cos you’re so talented but everything else about you is a failure. Just rap bro.”

He then referenced Gabbriette, who he got engaged to earlier this year, in a now-deleted tweet that read: “And on that point if I see one little shit bag twitter barista say ONE thing about my Gabi, EVER, I will use my mental illness to full affect and I will dox and fuck you up I’m so over pretending to have different standards online cos it’s ’not real’. Well, a fuckin slap is.”
Azealia quote-tweeted this and wrote: “The bitch look like Frankenstein to me. You both look like you share needles. Lmao,” which clearly enraged Matty.

“I know you think your life is some episode of the library is open but I am not the one,” he tweeted Azealia. “Talk to me like that I’m not gonna side eye you at an awards do I’ll fucking slap you so hard I’ll get a Guinness world record for the highest a rat some bitch calls a wig has ever flown.”
But Azealia was seemingly unfazed, replying: “What type of pussy ass nigga goes online and incriminates himself this way? Lmfao a man could slap the shit out of Gabi and you wouldn't do a damn thing. You're too busy kissing men on stage for clout.”

And Matty quickly seemed to realize that he’d gone too far, writing: “Nah I can’t be saying I’m gonna hit a girl that’s insane I’m sorry. You just can’t keep being so mean about my mates and my mrs it’s really hurtful gets me well defensive.”

Referencing Charli’s collaboration with Lorde on her song “Girl, So Confusing,” he added: “No but we should actually sort this out on the remix @azealiaslacewig.”
“No, you're going to hit me. I want you to. Because I have a surprise for you,” Azealia tweeted Matty as he continued to backtrack.
“Nah fr I was just trying to match your vibe im scared now im sorry bro, i was just sticking up for my mates. Im not tough lol,” he wrote, later adding: “She’d fuckin batter me tbf.”

“This is round about when I’d normally deactivate,” he went on to acknowledge, before deleting his original threat and writing: “Ok I’m gonna delete that tweet that was not cool even if I was angry.”
“I’m just having fun with my friends on the computer :),” he concluded.
