Azealia Banks and Her Controversial Magazine Cover

Azealia Banks is one of those artists who's name is constantly in folk's mouths an this time, is no different.

 Azealia Banks is on the cover of the latest cover of UK Magazine "Dazed and Confused" holding a blown up condom to her mouth as if she's puffing on a cigarette or a cigar. This particular issue has already been banned in several states and I can see why. It is a condom, it's against her lips and it gives off the wrong message. I think because she's so young (keep in mind, this femcee is only 20), people still want her to be a role model to young women and I'm sorry but that's not an image I would want either of my daughter's to see. It's just like the famous Lil Kim pose which Nicki Minaj later reinvented that blew minds everywhere. There is a certain image that is acceptable and there are certain images we'd rather not see. These are just some of the many on my personal list I'd rather go without.

What's your take on the cover?
