'He called me a n****r and choked me': Azealia Banks claims Russell Crowe assaulted her in his hotel room... but 'eyewitnesses say she was aggressor'
By Shyam Dodge and Justin Enriquez For Dailymail.com
Azealia Banks claimed Russell Crowe assaulted her on Saturday night.
The rapper, 25, wrote on Facebook on Sunday: 'To recap my night, I went to a party at Russell crowe’s (sic) suite, at which he called me a n****r, choked me, threw me out and spat at me.'
She added: ‘The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today.’
However, Azealia deleted the post soon afterwards as other claims emerged telling a very different story.
According to a source, eyewitnesses at the party claimed Azealia was the aggressor and Crowe was forced to carry the rapper out of his room during a private party due to her becoming violent.
The eyewitnesses claim Banks made a bizarre statement directed toward Crowe about slashing his throat and that of another guest with her wine glass. Banks then allegedly, according to sources, cocked her glass back and Crowe intervened.
Reps for both Russell Crowe and Azealia Banks have been contacted by DailyMail.com for comment.
The incident is said to have occurred on Saturday night at Crowe's hotel room at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
It is claimed that he had invited about 10 people over to listen to music, including rapper RZA who brought Banks.
The 47-year-old Wu Tang Clan member had previously worked with Crowe on The Man With The Iron Fist and recently signed Banks to his record label.
According to sources for TMZ, it all began when Azealia snickered at Russell's music selection and called he and another person in the room 'boring white men.'

Then when a female party guest jumped to his defense, the 212 rapper went on a threatening diatribe.
According to their insider, Banks said: 'You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino s***.'
Witnesses say she used the n-word numerous times and Crowe remained calm until she reached for a glass and cocked it back.
The 53-year-old Gladiator star then reportedly grabbed her and carried her out of the suite before calling security guards to remove her from the grounds.
At least four guests/witnesses who gave statements during the investigation used the word 'erratic' to describe Azealia's behaviour according to TMZ. They also claim that RZA said she used the n-word and not Crowe.
In Azealia's since-deleted posts on social media, The Big Beat hitmaker has a much different story as she wrote: 'To recap my night, I went to a party at Russell Crowe's suit, at which he called me a n*****, choked me, threw me out and spat at me.
'Last night was one of the hardest nights of sleep I've had in along time.
'The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today.'
She also posted two other statuses on Facebook, she talked about being depressed and that 'I wish I had someone to beat him up for me.'
Banks is no stranger to controversy as last month a judge was not too pleased as she failed to appear at her court case in New York after allegedly attacking a bouncer at a nightclub last year.
The rapper is charged with misdemeanor assault, attempted assault and disorderly conduct after the incident at the Up&Down in Chelsea on December 16, where she allegedly bit a female bouncer on the breast.
The bite caused 'redness, swelling and bruising' and 'substantial pain', according to the criminal complaint, but the woman declined medical attention at the scene.
The rapper is infamous for her Twitter rants against other rappers, as well as politicians - she once suggested Sarah Palin be gang-rapped.
Most recently she used racist and homophobic slurs while talking about Zayn Malik.
