In a jaw dropping Instagram post, Azealia Banks recounts the day Coldplay manager, Dave Holmes puts her in a headlock, and drags her by the hair and into a cold shower.
Writing from a third person’s perspective, Azelia Banks share how she started dating Holmes when she was still signed to XL Recordings.
“He was at the time a very handsome, very charming man who she admired intensely. He was 43, rich, white and very fatherly to her,” she writes. “Dating him made her feel like Naomi Campbell! He was married at the time, but told her he was separated- something She didn’t care about as She was so happy to have him in her life.”
After getting dropped from XL, Holmes leaves Azealia Banks holding the bag.
“When she is dropped from XL recordings, he breaks up with her and abruptly stops paying the rent on the apartment he had been renting for her . She haphazardly moves out of her apartment on dyckman street and heads to Montreal, where She spends a lonely, depressed summer.”
As soon as Azealia Banks career takes off, Holmes shows back up.
“Upon the success of 212, Dave reappears in her life. She’s happy to have him back as she considers him her Dad and felt close to him like family. On the night before the 1991 video, the couple gets into a heated argument about $2,000 she’d borrowed from him two weeks earlier. She grabs hold of his fancy espresso machine and pushes it on the floor, which prompts him to put her in a choking headlock. The fight gets nasty, with her throwing rocks through glass windows and him dragging her by her hair and throwing her into a freezing cold shower.”
Azealia continues,
“She gets to set the next morning tired , confused and emotionally drained . Her hairstylist Brianna meets her with a beaming smile and is excited to tell her about all of the fly outfits the stylist pulled. She turns to Brianna and says ‘Dave hit me last night’ … Brianna gasps… the new rising star begins to cry , yet somehow is able to hold it together enough to get her make-up done.”
