Outspoken rapper Azealia Banks published a lengthy Facebook tirade against Nicki Minaj, telling her to lose weight and quit calling herself the queen of rap.

The attack comes after the 'Anaconda' hitmaker released mobile game Nicki Minaj: The Empire earlier this month, which includes what appears to be a Banks diss.

A character mentions a "Fan2Sea album", described as "what a mermaid song would sound like" and "a really loud, obnoxious screech that goes on for hours".

It's said that the comments are throwing shade at Banks over her Fantasea album, which features her as a mermaid on the cover.

"Nicki girl, now listen," Banks responded on Facebook, in a since-deleted post.

"Slim down a bit, especially in the neck and arms. Decrease the butt just a bit. I've seen your butt make some really expensive dresses look really cheap."

Banks goes on to suggest Minaj is angry over a collaboration she's been working on with her ex, Safaree Samuels.

In addition to criticising Minaj's body and style, Banks also targeted her products.

"Your cheap, made-in-China perfume smells like car freshener and your beverage tastes like kitchen cleaner," she raged.

"Also stop calling yourself the queen of rap. Queens don't wear Spandex, sweety."

After deleting the post, Banks published more explaining her actions, saying "it's all jokes guys" and "I am not the same person I was two hours ago."
