Azealia Banks has issued a cease & desist letter to The 1975’s Matty Healy and is demanding $1million (£790,000) in damages.The legal move follows on from an online altercation between the two musicians last week (December 4), in which Healy rounded on Banks after she criticised his friend and collaborator Charli XCX.Re-sharing a clip of the video for Charli’s 2014 song ‘Break The Rules’, Banks wrote: “Charli used to be soooo pretty.

Ugh.”Healy came to the ‘365’ singer’s defence, 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.” He then added that Banks is “jealous”, saying: “You’re so talented but everything else about you is a failure.

Just rap bro.”The feud then escalated quickly, with Banks saying: “The bitch look[s] like Frankenstein to me. You both look like you share needles.
