Azealia Banks is rumoured to have been dropped by her record label, according to internet sources.

The rapper is said to have parted ways with Interscope records, according to music blog, Zimbio, who claim to have received an email confirming the '212' rapper's split from Interscope records.

The website has published a statement from a record label source, which reads:

"Interscope Records, the Universal Music Group label founded by Jimmy Iovine is reportedly not picking up the much-buzzed-about the 21-year-old rapper's option for future recordings, says a source close to the situation. When approached today about Banks' current debut album situation, the label insider simply stated, "Azealia Banks will no longer be releasing her LP under Interscope."

"Broke with Expensive Taste, was scheduled to be released in February so perhaps this clarifies the lack of promotion and official releases for a debut album that was supposed to drop within weeks."

It also adds, however, that there has been no official statement from the rapper, her spokesperson or Interscope records.


Azealia Banks hit the ground running with her debut hit, '212'

Azealia Banks has had a bumpy ride since hitting the mainstream with her huge hit '212' in early 2012, cancelling a number of festival appearances last year - but more notably, spending her time in the limelight feuding with others online instead of completing her album.

She has most recently taken to Twitter to attack fellow female rapper Angel Haze, with the two posting 'diss tracks' online insulting each other.

She also attacked US gossip blogger Perez Hilton, calling him a 'messy f*ggot' and suggesting he 'kill himself' after a harsh Twitter rant.
