Azealia Banks endorses Ron DeSantis: Rapper says she feels 'way safer' in Miami than woke LA - and reveals she moved to Florida because the governor is 'practical' and 'focused on the basic s***'

Rapper Azealia Banks is singing the praises of Ron DeSantis, saying the Republican governor of Florida encouraged her to swap Los Angeles for Miami and describing the potential presidential candidate as 'practical' and someone who is 'focused on the basic s***'.

Banks, 31, told The Guardian that she was disappointed by the virtue-signaling which she found rampant in Democratic-controlled California.

'Every which way I turn [in LA] there's a Black Lives Matter sign, and then we're watching swathes of Latino people die every day because they're considered essential workers,' she said.

'There are no Latino Lives Matter signs.

'That's not to negate any of the very real issues that black people in America face, but in a rich state like California, in a neighborhood like Silver Lake – here's Jenny with her f****** like biodynamic wine bar and her vegan cafe.

'She's got a Black Lives Matter sign in the window, but sis, did you pay attention to papi who delivered the milk? Did he get a free cup of coffee?'

The New York City-born rapper, famed for her tempestuous relationships with manager, collaborators and record labels, said the pandemic made her reassess her priorities.

Banks sold her Woodland Hills home in November 2020 in a non-judicial foreclosure for $845,000.

She bought the property in March 2016 for $850,000, but listed it one month later and reported repeated run-ins with neighbors.

DeSantis isn’t about virtue signaling. He’s taking action where many just say they’ll do something. More and more Americans will come to the Republican banner if they actual do something positive instead of just talking about it.

She once endorsed Trump too, and was savagely attacked, and lost shows and a contract, and later reversed. MEntally unstable, but not brain dead.

She likes DeSantis because he is “‘practical’ and ‘focused on the basic s***’.”

She hates CA Dems because they are virtue-signaling hypocrites.

She really understands the basic reason for any government t to exist. She sounds like one smart cookie.

He has yet to secure Florida’s elections.

Why is that?

He got rid of the Palm Beach and Broward County idiots. Do you have some specific? Because I’ve not heard anything about unsecure elections here.

DeSantis has secured Florida elections. Unlike some, instead of just non-stop whining about election problems, he took action in Florida.
