American rapper Azealia Banks has again sparked controversy with a recent social media post declaring her intention to move to Tel Aviv. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Banks stated, "If you would have told me years ago I’d end up moving to Tel Aviv and liking it, I would have said you’re crazy." This statement follows a tumultuous relationship with Israel, including a public show of support for the IDF during the recent war, which was preceded by hostile posts against the country. Banks recently returned to Israel to work on new music with Israeli producer Yinon Yahel, fueling speculation about a permanent move.

Meanwhile, Banks's scheduled performance at the Tel Aviv Amphitheater, originally set to take place in two days, has been postponed to October 30. The postponement is attributed to fan requests and its proximity to the October 7th events, with all previously purchased tickets remaining valid for the new date.
