The tea is scalding right now!

Azealia Banks hit out at The 1975's frontman Matty Healy in multiple scathing rants after he made some controversial and highly insensitive comments about female rapper Ice Spice earlier this year.

The 34-year-old British singer has been making headlines ever since he was rumored to be dating singer-songwriter Taylor Swift following her split from Joe Alwyn who she had been in a relationship with for six years.

Entertainment Tonight first reported the news of the 33-year-old singer's break up with the British actor on April 8, stating that a source close to the pair had revealed their separation happened "a few weeks ago."

"The relationship had just run its course. It's why [Alwyn] hasn't been spotted at any shows," the source continued before adding that "they simply grew apart and plan to remain friends."

However, it didn't take long for Swift to swap out one British man for another - though this one seems to have an entirely different vibe from Alwyn.

As Swift embarked on her Eras world tour, pouring all her emotions into her music, fans noticed that Healy was a repeated supporter amongst the crowd, which started rumors that the pair are actually dating.

It now seems as though fans' worst fears might actually be confirmed and the two might actually be in a relationship after they were spotted out on numerous "dates" together over the past few weeks.

You may find yourself asking: "Why are fans so disappointed?"

Well, let's just say Healy doesn't have the best track record when it comes to being a decent human being. The 34-year-old has been accused of being on the wrong side of practically every single social issue out there including racism and misogyny.

And not only that, he has also made derogatory comments about other fellow musicians which has ruffled a few feathers.

As per the Washington Post, when appearing on an episode of 'The Adam Friedland Show' in February, Healy was caught laughing as the two podcast hosts made fun of rapper Ice Spice using derogatory terms about her body and ethnicity, calling her an "Inuit Spice Girl," and "chubby Chinese lady," while using "contrived Chinese and Hawaiian accents to mimic her."

Later on, when he was asked if the hosts had done a good impression of her, Healy responded with: "Yeah, that’s what Ice Spice is like" and then proceeded to call her "dumb."

The 1975 singer later addressed the comments during a concert the band was playing at in New Zeleand, saying: "Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued."

"It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a d***. I love you, Ice Spice. I’m so sorry," he said, according to the Independent.

But it seems as though no one's ready to accept Healy's apology, especially not Azealia Banks who took to Instagram to slam the singer in a bunch of scathing rants.

"Does Matt Healy know that no one actually thinks The 1975 make good music and that he’s a lame poser with a trash cliche band name that actually means nothing," she wrote on her Instagram Stories, sharing a screenshot of an article about Healy’s Ice Spice remarks.

"He’s clearly so pressed that a Black girl who knows nothing about him or his music is making more moves and money than him. Does he know that Black women are more coveted [in] today’s industry because there’s a BIG BUSINESS in female rap," she continued.

Things only got worse as Banks dedicated a further three Instagram Stories to calling out Healy as well as sending a stern warning to his alleged new lover.

"Taylor, this guy is gonna give you scabies. He’s not on the level of powerful p*** u worked HELLA hard to build," the '212' rapper captioned another post on Tuesday.

Banks added that there are "so many much cooler people" in the music industry to go for and put forward James Mercer from the band The Shins as a potential.

"You should really tap James Mercer from The Shins," she said before adding: "James Mercer is honestly one of the best lyricists ever. Ugh this dude is a full incel. You cannot be letting him climb the rich white Coochie mountain sis."

In another audio clip, Banks also urged Healy to "wash his d***" a simple, yet effective takedown.

"Bruh, you need a banana bag, a liquid IV, you need a strong green salad, you need some water, you need to wash your d*** and you need to wash your f****** nasty, like, wet rat hair, honey," she added.

Big yikes.
