Azealia Banks and Elon Musk.

  • Rapper Azealia Banks and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's lives have become entangled after Banks spent the weekend at one of Musk's properties earlier in August and made a series of claims about the billionaire on social media.
  • Banks claimed Musk ignored her when she visited his house, misrepresented their interaction, and has taken control of her phone.
  • "I'm like in tears right now," Banks told Business Insider on Monday evening. "This has nothing to do with me."
  • Here's a timeline of the Banks-versus-Musk battle, as decoded via Business Insider exclusives, social media, and more.

Azealia Banks and Elon Musk are an unlikely pair.

Banks has publicly claimed on social media that Musk avoided her after inviting her to his home, misrepresented the situation to the media, and - most recently - took possession of her phone. Musk, meanwhile, has denied many of Banks' claims and apparently deleted his Instagram account, following her most recent call out.

The interactions between the two typically outspoken celebrities can be difficult to untangle. Here's everything we know about the timeline of how things have gone down between Banks and Musk.
