Azealia Banks has sparked controversy after admitting she lied about supporting Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Initially, the singer announced her intent to vote for Harris, citing concerns over Elon Musk’s influence on U.S. politics. However, Banks reversed her stance, revealing on X (formerly Twitter) that she actually cast her vote for Donald Trump, while also making a public plea for tax breaks and lower international shipping rates.
Banks shared her appeal on November 6, specifically requesting Trump’s assistance in reducing USPS international shipping costs, which she claims affected her business, CHEAPYXO, during Biden’s presidency. "PLEASE GET THE USPS TO LOWER THEIR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE IN 2016," Banks wrote, explaining that higher shipping costs had negatively impacted her ability to conduct international business.

The artist’s admission has fueled a wave of criticism on social media, with several users reacting harshly to her political pivot. One user labeled Banks as "annoying and bipolar," while others called her “spineless” and criticized her for voting against her prior statements. Despite the backlash, Banks’s request underscores her frustration with current shipping costs under USPS, which she claims have nearly tripled since 2016.
