Earlier today, a video surfaced of Azealia Banks in a confrontation with a flight attendant after an incident with another passenger. Towards the end of the video, Banks is heard on camera calling the attendant a homophobic slur. Much of the coverage of the incident is concerned with Banks' language during the altercation, a fact that Banks appears to take issue with. Tonight, the Harlem rapper fired off a series of tweets calling the media reaction a result of a selectively offended public. You can read Banks' tweets below.
