A female rapper has sparked controversy with transphobic and racist comments about BLACKPINK's Lisa at the 2025 Met Gala, leading to widespread backlash on social media.
AdvertisementAzealia Banks, known for her musical talent as well as her controversial remarks, has once again sparked outrage with comments that have drawn criticism for their transphobic and racist nature.
Previously, she was accused of targeting BTSâs Jungkook, and now, her comments about BLACKPINKâs Lisa at the 2025 Met Gala have put her in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
On the platform X (formerly Twitter), Azealia Banks posted a comment under a viral image of Lisa from the Met Gala, calling the idol a âladyboyâ â a derogatory term often used to refer to transgender women in Southeast Asia.
Azealia Banks went on to criticize Lisaâs physical appearance, even suggesting that Lisa âis a man.â She also used her platform to criticize the K-pop industry, insinuating that many female idols might actually be men.
AdvertisementThese comments, which included racist and transphobic language, have led to widespread backlash. Many have condemned Azealia Banks for her harmful and discriminatory words, calling for her to take responsibility for the damage caused to the transgender and K-pop communities. This is not the first time Azealia Banks has been criticized for making controversial statements about Lisa, intensifying the backlash against her.
At the 2025 Met Gala, Lisaâs bold outfit also sparked controversy. Designed by Pharrell Williams, the custom bodysuit featured sheer material and a âno pantsâ style, drawing attention for its striking appearance. The lower half of the bodysuit appeared to feature an image resembling civil rights icon Rosa Parks, which led to a heated debate online. Many felt the design was inappropriate given the theme of the exhibit, âSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style,â which honors the legacy and influence of Black fashion.

According to the Daily Mail, the outfitâs design was created by artist Henry Taylor, known for his portraits of both famous and ordinary people. When asked whether the image on Lisaâs outfit depicted Rosa Parks, Louis Vuitton, the brand behind the ensemble, refrained from confirming the identity, stating that Henry Taylor frequently paints both well-known and unknown figures.

As the controversy continues to unfold, Azealia Banks faces mounting criticism for her comments, with many calling for accountability for her harmful remarks.
