Azealia Banks Just Came Out With a Song Titled “Anna Wintour”
Azealia Banks is feeling Vogue‘s editor-in-chief. The artist’s new single “Anna Wintour,” which dropped Friday, pays tribute to the grand madam of fashion with lyrics that make direct reference to Wintour: “You know the glow stuntin’ in front row/ Shades away, these bitches can’t look, no/ Bob sleek-chic petite, I fit those/ En Vogue, I do what you can’t know/ I’m runway, you know they a side show.”
