*Azealia Banks is at it again, this time making wild claims linked to both Rihanna and Nicki Minaj.

First, the NY rapper took to Instagram to claim she was the most influential female rapper since Minaj.

“I can 100% see the impact I’ve had on female rap culture,” she wrote. “It makes me know that I’m not, and was never crazy. I’m happy to contribute to the arts in whatever way I can. Even if people don’t give me the credit…”

I am definitely the most influential female rapper post nicki Minaj. I may not be the most popular .. but definitely the most influential. My words are powerful, when I speak the people ALWAYS react. I have a way of putting pressure on people to create the art world I want to live in. I see loads of girls running around with my 2011 aesthetic and whether they credit me or not… I can 100% see the impact I’ve had on female rap culture. It makes me know that I’m not, and was never crazy. I’m happy to contribute to the arts in whatever way I can. Even if people don’t give me the credit… I can see how my influence has inspired so many of the artists I looked up to as a child and so many artists that came after me. That to me is the truest success. When I see new girls come up wearing the looks I wore and adopting my themes I feel validated. Like I’m doing the job god put me on earth to do.

In a different comment, Banks says that Rihanna named her album “Anti” after  Azealia’s suggestions during a joint studio session, “and me telling her she needed to make an anti-pop record.”
