Azealia Banks’ Zayn Malik comments are now under investigation by the UK Government

Azealia Bank’s recent racist comments towards Zayn Malik has spurred an investigation from the Home Office.

After being yanked from her headlining slot at London’s Born & Bred Festival by Rinse FM, Azealia seems to be heading towards even more trouble. The Home Office has begun an official investigation of the situation with the end results being a possible banning from the UK. An official statement from the home office states that "Coming to the UK is a privilege, and we expect those who come here to respect our shared values. The Home Secretary has the power to exclude an individual if she considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good or if their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds."

Azealia was set to perform Born & Bred this June.
