The American rapper Azealia Banks said she had been invited to the Spectator magazine summer party in London.<\/p>\n

The performer, known for her social media feuds with numerous celebrities including Nicki Minaj, Zayn Malik and Lana Del Rey, wrote on X on Saturday: \u201cIll be in London July 3 for @spectator.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her message received a response from Michael Gove, the Spectator editor and former Conservative cabinet minister, who replied: \u201cLooking forward!\u201d<\/p>\n

The annual Spectator summer party is traditionally held in the garden behind the magazine\u2019s offices in Westminster featuring prominent figures across UK politics, media and culture.<\/p>\n

In May, Banks and fellow rapper Minaj publicly supported the Conservative party leader, Kemi Badenoch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Banks wrote on X at the time: \u201cSorry i made fun of you guys in Britain, i rolled over and realized its actually no longer a laughing matter and I shouldnt be making jokes. I hope you all vote conservative and Listen to Kemi Badenoch.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a later post, the 32-year-old said of Badenoch: \u201cShe is a star.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April, Banks shared a clip of the Conservative leader speaking in the House of Commons on X, with the message: \u201cKemi Badenoch is f**king iconic. World leaders will respect her Professionalism alot more than goofball Nigel [Farage].\u201d<\/p>\n

The artist is known for her forthright political views and on Saturday posted a link to an article entitled \u201cCongress advances unprecedented U.S.-Israel military integration plan\u201d and wrote on X: WE WON!!!!! PULL OUT OF NATO NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n

The New York rapper won wide acclaim for her debut single 212 which appeared on Rolling Stone\u2019s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The American rapper Azealia Banks said she had been invited to the Spectator magazine summer party in London.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":705409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":["post-705408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=705408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/705409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=705408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=705408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=705408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
