Azealia Banks has been stoking so many fires on Twitter -- beefing with just about everyone from Iggy Azalea to Nicki Minaj to Kendrick Lamar -- that it led many to wonder, if she trolled her career to death. While her long-delayed debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, received overwhelmingly positive reviews, most people didn't give it much attention. 

And now, she announced she's going to "eject" from social media and has deleted her Twitter account. Was someone finally able to convince her that her doing things like comparing the LGBT community to the KKK might be a bad look for her?

Apparently not. According to Fuse, the Harlem-born rapper announced on Tuesday that she's leaving because she finds social media "disgusting and junky." 

According to Fuse, this was her last message on Twitter: 

Ok, today, i'm finally making the decision to eject from social media. american media culture is honestly so f*cking disgusting and junky and complaining about it is not going to change it. reading shit, seeing stupid ass articles and dumb bitches/bros has just really filled me up with a lot of bad feelings. it's been a great couple of years, sharing opinions and having conversations, but i think i will be so much happier just NOT looking at this. (Americans have the WORST taste in everything.) So my friends, its time to say goodbye once and for all to this account. This account will exist no more. Time for a bit of Mystery... Goodbye.
