Brad Barket/Getty ImagesFans can watch Azealia Banks‘ feature-length acting debut in the Netflix film Love Beats Rhymes.
But, the artist has some director’s notes about the film — and its soundtrack — which she shared Thursday via Instagram.
Regarding her song on the soundtrack, “Movin’ On Up,” she writes, “This song was originally intended to be CoCo’s big finale in Love Beats Rhymes… there was a scene where, after she got her big record deal, she became a big star and had a number one hit on Billboard.”
She explains, “I wanted the credits to roll during bloopers and behind-the-video-style scenes of her on set. And to have the DVD have the actual video in the extras section. And have this be the lead single from the soundtrack.”
Azealia then calls out the movie’s director, RZA, with whom she had a falling out in 2016 following an alleged altercation between herself and actor Russell Crowe.
The Wu Tang Clan member reportedly brought Azealia as his plus one to a party Crowe was hosting at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
She adds, “Too bad RZA didn’t listen to me. Instead of bringing [me] to LA to sleep with Russell crowe he should have been putting me on studio to finish this soundtrack. This is legit the song I thought I was coming to LA to finish the night I ended up at Crowe’s crib.”
Azealia finishes her rant by writing, “I’m still down to shoot an additional ending and finally give this movie a soundtrack…Have no clue how rza couldn’t forge a soundtrack whilst having myself common AND jill Scott in cast. Legendary producer MY A**! Im better than the veterans. A dope soundtrack would have had this movie in the SKY.”
