The alleged conversation was brought up again after Allen criticised Beyoncé’s new album “Cowboy Carter” on her “Miss Me?” podcast with friend Miquita Oliver. On the podcast, Lily, who admitted she's only heard a couple of the songs on Bey’s new country inspired album, said she found it "very weird" that the Texas native chose to cover "Jolene."

"It's quite an interesting thing to do when you're trying to tackle a new genre, and you just choose the biggest song in that genre to cover," she said. "I mean, you do you, Beyoncé," she added. "And she literally is doing her, or is she doing Dolly?"

Cohost Miquita then chimed in adding that she feels that the Cowboy Carter album is "forcing itself to be part of its own narrative" as a country album, prompting Lily to explain why she sees the entire thing as "calculated."

"When Jay-Z got up and said that thing, that was part of this campaign," she said, referring to Jay-Z publicly calling out the Grammys for never giving Beyoncé the “Album of the Year” award. “It was before the album had come out or even been announced, and she was wearing the blonde wig and a cowboy hat," Lily added.

In response, Miquita challenged her longtime friend by mentioning that Lily is working on a country album herself, to which Lily replies: "But I'm not, like, trying to conquer the country market. I'm here because I've loved country music and always have loved country music. Not saying Beyoncé doesn't. But I tell stories in my songs and quite a lot of country music does the same thing. I think it's well-suited to what it is that I do."

When Azealia caught wind of what Lily’s comments - she went off. Taking to her Instagram stories, Banks wrote: “Ok @lilyallen you’re gonna stop right there and sit this one out. Shall we discuss that phone call to me - a few years ago - obviously off your face - crying, sobbing and snotting asking me to forgive you for randomly being racist? And I quote “well I just figured since I’m a white girl and you’re just some black girl I could s*** on you.”

“Deep silence. ‘Ab: well ummm thanks (?) yeah I was confused because all of your music has reggae/hiphop/soul/r&b influences and you wear your door knockers. I used to dress like you in high school. I really do like your music.”

Azealia continued spilling the (alleged) tea: “LA *ugly-crying on her bathroom floor** hears insufflation then a flick of a lighter.* I’m just so sorry, I can’t believe I’d do that. Begins to scream then call cuts out.”

Azealia then called out Lily’s behaviour as ‘jealously’ writing: “Sis, u ain’t been it since you stopped acting black. And you have a well documented issue with black women in general. It’s called jealousy.”

“I’d never give you the gift of calling you a racist, you aren’t that powerful nor are you smart enough to be a racist. You have an inferiority complex because your very existence is consequential. You were literally born unspecial sis.”

However just two weeks ago, Azealia herself found herself criticising Beyoncé’s new album. The “Anna Wintour” rapper hit out at Bey for "reinforcing the false rhetoric that country music is a post civil war art form", due to the artwork which sees Beyonce flying the flag in a cowboy outfit and rocking a blonde wig. "Sis I live for whiteyonce Donatella Bianca Bardot DOWN, But I'm kind of ashamed at how u switch from baobab trees and black parade to this literal pick me stuff," Banks wrote.

"There was so much pertinent cultural commentary to be made her. I don't get why you have to be in white woman cosplay to make (what's really folk/bluegass/adult contemporary) facsimile "country" music".

Calling Beyoncé out for an obsession with "being boring and pretty all the time", she says that the forced mystique comes off as a lack of understanding on the topics that she is immersed in, or even an inability to explain any of it in a sensible manner.”

We want you to be deep and artsy and avant garde and f*** our heads up and shift culture," Banks wrote on Instagram, before blaming her husband Jay-Z for "overstrategizing everything.”
