Skai Jackson Talks Twitter Beef with Azealia Banks

In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Skai Jackson claims she only stood up to Azealia amid the rapper tweeting racially charged insults to Zayn Malik because she felt it was the right thing to do.

Unfortunately all Azealia did was then direct racially charged insults to Skai too.

Skai tells the Huffington Post:

My mom has definitely influenced my confidence, because when I was younger in public school, I would always get bullied for little things like being the shortest in my class, being smallest, just really stupid things. And my mom would always tell me, “if someone bullies you, don’t just sit there and let them bully you. Do something about it or tell someone about it.” So I have always taken that on, what my mother said. And I kinda used that with the whole Azealia thing that just happened. I mean, she is a bully, she is an internet troll. So for me, reading all these racial slurs that she was saying to different celebrities in the past couple months — and I’m like the 30th person now — I felt that I just had to voice my opinion because I have dealt with bullies over the internet and in person. I just feel like what she’s doing is not OK.
