One thing about Azealia, she is one controversial being, from alleged rumours about her eating her cat or picking a fight with other stars like Cardi B. For a moment though, we were happy and celebrating to hear good news from her, however, we celebrated way too soon.

The outspoken rapper has dumped her fiancé, Ryder Ripps, just a week after going public with his proposal.

The 29-year-old rapper announced her engagement news late last month and hinted she was converting to Judaism before the wedding to the graphic artist, but following a weekend break in Palm Springs, California, Banks has decided Ripps is not her soulmate.

The star is however planning to keep the ring he gave her. In a post on her Instagram stories, the 212 star told fans, "Lol, I just dumped @ryder_ripps. He's too insecure for the wildly creative she-wolf in me. I'm keeping the menorah ring tho. The heirloom is mine. The Jewcy diva lives on."

It was only a week prior she was showing off her new ring, and telling followers about her plans to marry."I'm crying," she wrote at the time.
