Fans have noticed that Azealia Banks has appeared "more sane as of late," and the hip-hop star can pinpoint exactly why that is.
Reposting a fan's tweet about her mental state – which has been questioned in the past – the 30-year-old musician took the opportunity to explain that after years of being managed by allegedly abusive men, she is finally being managed by a woman.
And according to Banks, that has made all the difference.

"This is what having a female manager who isn't robbing you blind then f--king you in every hole and tossing you off a bridge does!!!" she captioned the tweet that read: "the crazy thing is azealia is getting more sane as of late."
"Less stress, less worry, business sorted - can RELAX at the studio and CREATE from a pure place," Banks added, before going into specifics about her "traumatic" past – being a young female entertainer, surrounded by men.
"Male managers have just always bought this extra layer of romance, jealousy and sabotage to my career that absolutely NO ONE F--KING ASKED FOR," she said. "Y'all really have no clue of the type of s--t women go thru in this industry and have no idea the type of traumatic s--t I've had happen behind the scenes since SEVENTEEN."

She went on to say, "When the s--t is happening SO RAPIDLY you never get a chance to sit the f--k down and process anything! Even trying to tell a male manager that you're not feeling well and need support will cause them to discard you - as if you aren't the one losing sleep, skipping meals, and making sacrifices to line their pockets."
