Before I begin, I actually have no clue who this chick is. I had to look her up on Wikipedia in order to find out how she became so famous, because I hate to think she earns money by starting trouble.

Okay, onto the story.
Azealia Banks, 24, was banned from Twitter after getting into a racist and homophobic rant with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik. Banks referred to Malik as a f***ot, p*ki, d*ckrider, and more. Banks even called out Malik's mother in a tweet, saying she was a "dirty refugee." While Banks may have been laughing during her rant, the folks over at Rinse I Born & Bred festival weren't, as they immediately fired her from a headlining gig. Organizers dropped her from the roster as well.

Her rant against Malik, and a very disturbing rant against a 14-year-old Disney actress, got the attention from Twitter. Twitter suspended Banks' account. As of this posting, it is still suspended.
Azealia Banks has a history of sending hateful tweets. In 2015, she said that the LGBT community was the KKK. She also said she wanted to pepper spray "a gay man in the face."

It is unknown whether her page will be reinstated, or if this is a permanent ban. What is known, though, is that she has probably flushed her credibility, and likely her career, down the toilet.

My Two Cents

Twitter, please don't let her back on your site! Her attitude is toxic. Hopefully this is a wake-up call for her.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%.
