Azealia Banks smokes a condom, gets banned in seven countries

by Sam Sutherland

The September cover of British fashion magazine Dazed and Confused features Azealia Banks doing that edgy Azealia Banks-thing, smoking an inflated condom like a cigar while simultaneously giving the finger. The image has led to bans in seven countries around the world — Singapore, Dubai, Malta, Switzerland, India, Thailand, and Malta (who have since reconsidered, probably because “212” is such an unstoppable jam).

Banks appeared on the July cover of AUX Magazine to considerably less controversy. Actually, we’re not sure. Maybe Malta was bummed.
