Azealia Banks reignited her seemingly one-sided feud with Troye Sivan on Twitter after Sivan spoke about the rapper on “Watch What Happens Live.”

In an interview in January, Sivan was asked which rappers he would like to collaborate with.

“I mean, I was a huge Azealia Banks fan, but that all went south a little bit,” Sivan said at the time. “It’s just one of those annoying things where you just wanna support [her] so bad and it just doesn’t work out like that.”

Banks blasted Sivan calling him “entitled” and said, “For the record I am not interested nor have I ever been interested in a collaboration with Troye Sivan.”

On “Watch What Happens Live” last week, Andy Cohen asks Sivan  “If you were stuck in an elevator with her, what would you say to her?”

“It’s weird because there was, like, a — it’s not even a thing — but there was a little thing,” Sivan replied. “But I would just say, like ‘Hey, I love your music,’ ‘cause I do.”

Banks took issue with Sivan talking about her and slammed him in a series of tweets.

”The white gays are obsessed,” Banks tweeted. “Give it a rest already. Honestly… s–t is mad annoying.”

“How about you turn around and face the corner of the elevator ? Or… how about you get off the elevator so I can ride in peace thank you,” she added. “Stop trying to act like your above me with that performative ‘oh it’s not okay to like Azealia but I like her” type s–t. Just keep it to yourself please,” she continued.
