Azealia Banks ‘dumps’ fiance days after announcing engagement – and she’s keeping the ring

Azealia Banks has abruptly dumped her fiance Ryder Ripps, just days after announcing their engagement. 

The 212 rapper shared an update with fans on Monday about the status of her relationship with Ryder, and it seems they’re officially over. 

In her Instagram stories, Azealia said: ‘Lol, I just dumped @ryder_ripps. He’s too insecure for the wildly creative she-wolf in me.’ 

However, in a twist of events, the rapper revealed she’s keeping the ‘menorah ring’ he gave her when he popped the question. 

‘The heirloom is mine. The Jewcy diva lives on,’ she added. 

On February 22, Azealia shared news of her engagement with fans and said she would be converting to Judaism before the wedding. 

‘I just got engaged k**ts. I’m crying 😭…. I’m Jewish now. MAZEL TOV B***HES! WE IN HERE…. YERRRRRRR’,’ the musician wrote in an Instagram post. 

Alongside the photo of her ring, she added: ‘I said yes!!! @ryder_ripps and I are engaged !!!!!!’ 

Ryder, who designed Grimes‘ album art for Miss Anthropocene, has also been a frequent collaborator with the likes of Kanye West. 

The couple first made their relationship public back in 2019, right after all the whole Azealia’s famous beef with Grimes and Elon Musk kicked off.

Azealia, 29, hit headlines for the wrong reason last month after appearing to have ‘boiled’ her cat. 

She also showed off her collection of bones, claiming to be in possession of the skull of a six-year-old girl.
