Days after Azealia Banks unleashed a series of hateful, racist and homophobic tweets, it appears Twitter has suspended the singer's account.

While the social network has declined to comment or provide a reason for the suspension, the company's actions follow Banks' strange rant on Tuesday, when she accused former One Direction member Zayn Malik of copying her in his video for "Like I Would."

As usual with Banks, it didn't take long before her initial "cutie pie" comments about Malik spiraled downward and she called the singer, who is of Pakistani descent, a "curry scented bitch" and a "faggot."

She then declared: "U.S.A IS ABOUT TO TEACH YOU WHO NOT TO FUCK WITH!! When your entire extended family has been obliterated by good ol the U.S of A will you still be trying to act like a white boy pretending to be black? Do you understand that you are a sand n----- who emulates white boys' renditions of black male hood? Do you know how lost and culture less you are?"

This latest outburst follows a number of episodes over the years in which Banks has taken to Twitter to demean or threaten individuals.

Last month, Banks reacted to a fake story about Sarah Palin and said the former vice presidential candidate should have her head shaved and be gang-raped by the "blackest n-----."

Twitter opted not to suspend Banks' account following the Palin incident, issuing a statement that they had "reviewed the content and determined that it was not in violation" of Twitter's terms of use.

London-based Rinse FM’s Born & Bred Festival On Wednesday announced it had canceled Banks’ headlining performance, noting they "celebrate inclusivity and equality."

At press time, Banks' Twitter account was still suspended, but it remains unclear which rule(s) violation might have led to the seizure.
