Lana del Rey's musical style may have a breezy, melancholy beach vibe to it, but there is nothing breezy about the singer's latest Twitter activity.

Del Rey had a pretty brutal exchange of hostile tweets with rapper Azealia Banks for all of the Twittersphere to see.

Banks had criticised Del Rey for a comment she left on Kanye West's Instagram, condemning West for his pro-Trump views.

"To me this just looks like the typical white woman [...] using a weakened target to 'pretend' to be an ally," Banks wrote in response.

Banks followed up with a long thread condemning Del Rey for her "selective outrage."

Now, more than a week later, Del Rey has responded to Banks' critique with a fairly threatening tweet.

But she didn't stop there. Del Rey continued to post a series of dramatic tweets directed at Banks. "I won't not fuck you the fuck up," she wrote. "Period." Watch those double negatives, Lana.

After that, things got really offensive. Banks took to making a long series of derogatory comments about Del Rey's appearance, after declaring that she felt "powerful."

"We need her to call the surgeon who did her pointy Michael Jackson nose," Banks wrote.

Del Rey responded with a jab at Banks' mental health.

"Your psych meds aren’t working," Del Rey wrote, followed by the hastag #uneedanewcocktail.

Banks responded with a tweet criticising Del Rey for mentioning her mental health.

"Of course the white woman makes fun of mental health. Showing her true colors!," Banks wrote, adding a comment referring to Del Rey's previous attempt to put a spell on Donald Trump.

Finally, Banks let Del Rey know that she had the intention of suing her over the original "pull up tweet" that started the feud.

"I'm talking to my lawyer," Banks wrote.

But Del Rey didn't seem too fazed by the idea of Banks taking legal action against her.

Yikes. Note to self: Don't ever get into a Twitter fight with either of these ladies!
