  • Beyoncé (2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2023, 2024): In 2016, after Beyoncé released her visual album Lemonade, Azealia criticized it as "the antithesis of feminism" and called her a "poacher" and "thief" who "takes food out of darker skinned women's mouths & pretends to be inspired", also tweeting that she wasn't "intelligent enough" to come up with original ideas for the album. The following year, she tweeted at Beyoncé, apologizing for her past "tantrums" and writing that she was "so so so inspired by" her and her "presence in the art world". The next year, she again accused Beyoncé's choreographer, Azealia's former dancer Ashanti, of stealing her choreography for her song "Count Contessa", and wrote that Beyoncé was constantly "steal[ing] from talented women and try[ing] to out do them" and needed to "get over herself". On Azealia's 2020 list of predictions, she predicted that Beyoncé and Jay-Z would start an open relationship in 2022 and then get a divorce in 2026. After the release of Beyoncé's sample-heavy album Renaissance in 2023, Azealia replied to a fan on Instagram that if Beyoncé had tried to sample her for the album, that she would have sued her along with "Sony, Columbia, Parkwood, Tidal AND Blue Ivy".

ALL whilst drinking molly water in 2023 and wearing cartoon-like neon yellow fake gold slick Rick chains".
  • Cardi B (2017, 2018): After Cardi's song "Bodak Yellow" went number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2017, Azealia tweeted that she was the "poor mans nicki" and was an example of "black industry men ... letting white men at Atlantic buy them into hating their own women". Cardi then posted a video of Azealia singing along to "Bodak Yellow" at the club, captioning the video, "One of the reasons Bodak Yellow went #1! Cuz even the HATERS love it!" During a 2018 appearance on The Breakfast Club, Azealia called Cardi "an illiterate, untalented rat" and a "caricature of a black woman".

An undated screenshot from Azealia's IG story (possibly from 2020) shows her calling Charli XCX an "ashtray" and saying that she was one of the girls who "tried" her and were "not aging well". In another alleged screenshot from her IG Stories in 2023, Azealia called Charli "so damn phony" and a "performative hag" who had been "bending over for the gays for years" despite them "still think[ing] ur a snoozefest". She tweeted the following year, in response to a fan asking if she had heard Charli's remix of her song "Girl, So Confusing" with Lorde, that Charli was doing "phony fake friends fake girl power shit" and was "miles more pretty talented and powerful than" the white women she was surrounding herself with.

She also accused him of being "more than obviously attracted to transwomen".
  • DC Young Fly (2018, 2023): Azealia made an appearance on the 2018 show Wild N' Out, where comedian DC Young Fly joked that Nick Cannon couldn't get Cardi B on so he got "Azealia ugly ass" instead, which Azealia called "very antiblack" in response. After he later made a joke about her still having an underbite after getting her braces off, Azealia cried and they stopped the show for an hour and a half for Azealia to collect herself. Following the death of DC Young Fly's partner Ms. Jacky Oh in 2023, Azealia implied that her death was karma for DC "call[ing] such a gorgeous woman as Azealia Banks ugly on National television while a bunch of black people laughed" and writing that "that Jackie o girl must have been so deeply insecure about herself" because of DC's "deeply rooted hatred of self as jokes pointed at women's beauty".

Azealia later said in an interview that she scrapped the song because of the duo being "really rude in an interview" and that she might leak it as an "f-side, a fuck-you side".

Doechii replied to the comment asking her to leave her alone and writing, "It's not my fault you sellin bussy soap and I'm sellin platinum records." Doechii posted again on her IG story, calling Azealia an "insufferable" colorist and "an attack dog for the very same white gays you allegedly vehemently despise" who was hawking "Mary Kay products", where Doechii herself used to work. She also called Azealia a case of "wasted talent" who was "one post away from the psych ward" and whose "brain is fried from meds". Azealia responded in a series of IG stories, calling Doechii's music "stereotypical oontz oontz shit" and saying that she had "poop barnacles on her batty jar", that her references to the swamp were because of her "swampy buttcheeks" and "candida overload", and that her record label needed to get her a "diflican [sic" prescription.
  • Doja Cat (2021, 2024) Azealia posted a video on her IG of her watching Doja's music video for her song "Juicy", wherein she remarked on Doja's "old white lady face" and "cellulite" and said, "This bitch is disgusting. The face look drunk and tired and lazy." In the video's caption, she further referred to Doja as "flabby ass pre diabetes doja cat" and "an actual disgusting white woman abomination". Twitter user @katalyssst wrote in a tweet that Azealia was contradicting herself by fatshaming Doja but admitting she was a "bonafide star". Azealia screenshotted the tweet and said that Doja, who "makes music for ten year olds and is very derivative", had "horrible" bars that made no sense and was reminiscent of "iggy [Azalea] trying to use her white heritage to ride nickis tattered coattails". Doja responded in two tweets, writing cryptically, "im farting in a big way" and "What would u do if u were living in a gangster's pair of dice?"

Erykah responded in another tweet, writing, "Well shit I did try. Maybe you’re right.. I’m just to old to get it. You cool tho?" The next year, Azealia reignited their feud by tweeting that Erykah hated on her because she "wants to be the only one in hip-hop kicking knowledge." Erykah apologized for the feud and wrote "1 thing I know 4sho about YOU is that you r an advocate 4 your folks". Azealia apologized in turn for "all the stupid things I said in response".
