Kanye West's ex Julia Fox called 'low rate escort with crackbaby' by Azealia Banks

Julia Fox is embroiled in a feud with rapper Azealia Banks and the women have been swapping vile insults with one another, which have been revealed online.

The row appeared to start after Azealia branded Julia a "low-rate escort" and her son a "crackbaby" which led to Uncut Gems' Julia claiming that Azealia once asked her for the phone number for a drug dealer and leaking screenshots of the text exchange.

After Julia - who shares son Valentino with ex Peter Artemiev - shut down claims she cried when she and Kanye West ended their romance, Azealia reposted Julia's Instagram statement and went on to slam her and claim she was a sex worker.

"We already know the tea Foolia! [You] came to Miami looking for sex work, [the] same lawyer was in contract with Ye and it was a weak PR stunt from the jump," the 212 rapper wrote.

"What did you hustle him for?" Banks asked Fox. "A bag and some Lucien's? You absolutely did not come up because if this is how women who 'always date billionaires' behave when shit goes south, threatening tell-all books... You can kiss your days as a low-rate escort goodbye, sis."

She went on: "The things you have made public in regards to your drug abuse (shit he probably had no clue about in the beginning) are not what he needs associated with him in any custody battle that may arise in court during divorce proceedings."

In another rant, Azealia then branded Julia a "liability," adding that "the fact [she] thought [Kanye would] pick [her] over his children just reeks of entitlement, a lack of any real motherly instinct, and proves that [she is] in fact, a woman child."

"We won't be purchasing your book, I wouldn't write it if I were you. It'll make [you] look racist and bitter. You are not Karrine Steffans level of legendary. You've already told your secrets, sis. It's over."

She then went on to address rumours that she had a crush on Kanye, as she added: "Babes, Kanye has tried to sign me four times. I've repeatedly rejected him. Kanye has a crush on me, but I like his white friends more tbh," also hinting that the father of four owes her "A LOT of money."

In another message reveal, Azealia shared a screenshot where Julia had warned her not to "talk s**t" about her son."

She typed atop of the message: "Okay your son is a crackbaby....what next."

Azealia then uploaded a snap of a photo showing Julia sitting on the floor dressed in a bra and knickers injecting herself in the arm with a needle.

Later, unhappy with Azealia's attacks, Julia then leaked a screenshot of messages that she claims were between herself and Azealia.

In one of the screenshots, Azealia allegedly asks: "Julia who sells molly and Percocet in NYC?"

Julia then seems to respond: "Hi love sry i was sleeping!!! let me ask around cuz i deleted all the dealers from my phone when my sis OD'd."

The actress claimed she unveiled the exchange after she kept being called a junkie online due to Azealia's nasty "crackbaby" slur.

Fox wrote over the screenshot: "So it has come to my attention that this troll keeps calling me a junkie umm sis do u recall @azealiabanks."

In a second post, Julia then opened up on her addiction issues.

"I'm open about my issues with addiction because I want to destigmatize it! Not al addicts are 'junkies'," she wrote.

Julia continued: "That is so horrible to say. It's a real f*cking disease. And I've also been open about my recovery journey!!! But nobody wants to mention that right..... If this troll says one more thing about my parenting or my son..."

"She added, "I was too nice to her cuz I felt sorry for her but now I realize why she spends all the holidays alone. Nobody wants that energy sis!!!"

In January 2020, Julia shared that when she was 17 she almost suffered from a near-fatal overdose.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the star said: "It's kind of a miracle that I'm okay because a lot of the people I grew up with aren't doing so well," Fox shared. "They're still on drugs or in jail. A lot of them died."

During another interview with The New Yorker in July, she said she is now sober after struggling with heroin and pills for quite some time.
