A lawyer for rapper Azealia Banks sent a cease-and-desist letter to The 1975 frontman Matty Healy after he threatened to slap her during a heated exchange on X last week.
The letter, dated Saturday, accuses Healy of making defamatory comments and threatening violence toward Banks.
Healy and Banks began trading barbs last week after Healy criticized her over her post commenting on Charli XCX’s appearance.
Healy told Banks that “the women you attack seem to be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and NICE people.
In a series of posts on X last week, Banks had said she planned to sue Healy for his remarks.
