According to the BBC's report dated July 24, 2025, the Trump administration has been encountering pressure to disclose more information about late child s*x offender Jeffrey Epstein, with whom the President shared a close bond before they fell out in 2004.

Presenting her perspective, the rapper and singer mentioned that her grandmother was born in 1927 and had her first child at the age of 12. She added that teenage pregnancy became frowned upon because of Jerry Springer, stating that she was old enough to "choose, seduce, and decide to f*ck grown a** men" when she was 15.

Amid the re-emergence of Trump's ties to Epstein, Azealia Banks mentioned that she was not surprised or mad at Donald Trump for "getting some 15 year old pu**y because those were the times" in her July 26, 2025 tweet.

The Luxury rapper said that people could have a problem if Trump got into physical relations with a ten-year-old; however, if the girls were over 13 years of age, people should stop caring and move on.

The rapper also wrote:

"Humans are gonna do what humans are gonna do. EYE am not trying to f*ck anything under the age of 45, but IT IS WHAT IT IS. GOODNESS GRACIOUS, FORGET ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES WHO CARES."

In a turn of events, the rapper declared that despite her claim to have voted for Kamala Harris, she had voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential election.
