Known for her Twitter beef, female MC Azealia Banks recently took to the social media site to voice her disgust with the new collection from fashion label Dolce & Gabbana.
The controversy started last month when the Italian designers premiered their Spring 2013 collection during Milan Fashion Week.
The D&G models embraced the runway wearing colorful garments and earrings with images of very dark-skinned black women that resembled the "mammy" figure of the slave era.
To add fuel to the fire, the representation of black models wearing the designs were slim to none.
D&G Spring 2013 collection:
To justify the collection, D&G claimed that the innovation came from their Sicilian roots and the first Africans to settle in Sicily.
Despite the designers reasoning, Banks, who name drops D&G in her "Van Vogue"track, used Twitter to label the collection as "racist."
Is the D&G collection racially insensitive or is Banks making unnecessary fuss?
