This time yesterday, American rapper Azealia Banks was completely off most Irish people's radars.

Sure, she had a hit with the mould-breaking banger '212' back in 2011, and she's to perform a sold-out gig at The Academy, Dublin this evening, but apart from that she was dust to us.

But as the old saying goes, 'what a difference a day makes'.

We're sure you've heard/read/seen the story by now, where she was supposedly kicked off an Aer Lingus flight after an altercation with a stewardess, but if not, you can catch it all here. 

She basically went off on the mother of all rants - calling all Irish women 'ugly', then gave the Rose of Tralee some unnecessary abuse online (completely random) and caused delays due to her insubordination. 

But what is she playing at? Is it all a publicity stunt? Or is she simply someone who loves to hate? 

Dermot and Dave take a look at the drama as it unfolded and, with the help of our listeners, remind us of her tasteless behaviour in the past. 

I mean, all you have to do is Google 'Azelia Banks twitter' to see just what she's capable of. 

Don't try and find her on Twitter though, her account was deactivated last June thanks to yet another outburst she had. That time it was about a RuPaul's Drag Race competitor.

The most recent update from the Irish saga is even more hilarious, as she tries to deny that she was ever removed from the flight by saying, "the Queen of Ireland goes wherever she likes, whenever she likes". 

Good luck in The Academy tonight Azealia. There won't be many hailing their new leader...
