RuPaul fans searching for the queen's hit track "Call Me Mother" on Spotify over the weekend came up empty — and Azealia Banks says she's the reason why.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, the singer revealed that she successfully petitioned the music platform to pull the 90s-house inspired dance track for taking a little too much inspiration from her single, "The Big Big Beat."
Lol I got rupauls ripoff of the big big beat .. "call me mother" removed. You will not step on my little black girl toes bitch. You will take your razor bumps and pumps to the nearest laser hair removal clinic and seethe.
@RuPaul BYE UGLY!

According to a follow-up tweet, RuPaul reached out to Banks to settle the matter. Banks was not impressed.
"But where was that energy when you were stealing my work and using me as inspiration for your campy ass television show?" Banks said. "I'm disappointed in him first and foremost as a black person. He was supposed to have my back."
But he went with popular white gay sentiment and felt like I was disposable enough to steal from and discard. Fuck him
