American rapper Azealia Banks performed in Tel Aviv on Thursday evening as part of a solidarity visit marking the second anniversary of the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.
The 34-year-old singer, who visited the site of the Supernova music festival, Yad Vashem and the Dead Sea during her weeklong trip, said that Oct. 7 would be a day of “deep remembrance—honoring every life taken, every family touched.”
“We are grateful for your support of Israel and we are happy to host you here, you are a true friend and a great Zionist,” Israeli Minister of Culture and Sport Miki Zohar posted on X Wednesday.
The popular American singer first gained global recognition in 2011 with her viral hit “212” and continues to maintain a large fan following.
Israel is a vibe. There’s so much North African and Arab influence in the city culture except everyone is walking around drinking green juice and carry surfboards like it’s LA 2004.
