Azealia Banks has branded Kanye West's ex Julia Fox a 'low rate escort with a crack baby' in a vicious row between the two women.  

The exchange was sparked when Azealia sharing a screenshot of Julia's statement about her split from Kanye, with the rapper calling out the actress' drug use and sex work. 

Julia, 32, has spoken about her battle with drugs before, revealing she had used heroin and suffered from more than one overdose.

The actress has also been candid about her work as a dominatrix, but has insisted she never had sex with her clients.  

Azealia, 30, wrote on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday: 'We already know the tea Foolia!

[You] came to Miami looking for sex work, [the] same lawyer was in contract with Ye and it was a weak PR stunt from the jump.

'What did you hustle him [Kanye] for? A bag and some Lucien's? You absolutely did not come up because if this is how women who 'always date billionaires' behave when s**t goes south, threatening tell-all books...

You can kiss your days as a low-rate escort goodbye, sis. 

'The things you have made public in regards to your drug abuse (s**t he probably had no clue about in the beginning) are not what he needs associated with him in any custody battle that may arise in court during divorce proceedings.'

Kanye is currently in the midst of divorcing Kim Kardashian, and last year the pair agreed on joint custody of their children North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four and Psalm, two. 

She added that Julia was a 'liability,' adding that 'the fact [she] thought [Kanye would] pick [her] over his children just reeks of entitlement, a lack of any real motherly instinct, and proves that [she is] in fact, a woman child.

'We won't be purchasing your book, I wouldn't write it if I were you.

It'll make [you] look racist and bitter. You are not Karrine Steffans level of legendary. You've already told your secrets, sis. It's over.'

Azealia then shared a screenshot of an alleged text exchange with Julia, in which the actress had warned her not to 'talk s**t' about her son.' 

Julia shares her 13-month-old baby boy with estranged husband Peter Artemiev,.

Azealia typed atop of the message: 'Okay your son is a crackbaby....what next.' 

Azealia completed her Instagram tirade by sharing a image of Julia appearing to inject herself with a needle, that she captioned 'nausea'.

It is not known when the photograph was taken. 

Not taking the swipes lying down, Julia then took to her Stories to post a series of text exchanges allegedly between herself and Azealia, which she has since deleted.      

In one of the screenshots, Azealia allegedly asks: 'Julia who sells molly and Percocet in NYC?'

Julia then responds: 'Hi love sry i was sleeping!!!

let me ask around cuz i deleted all the dealers from my phone when my sis OD'd.'   

Julia wrote over the screenshot: 'So it has come to my attention that this troll keeps calling me a junkie umm sis do u recall @azealiabanks.'

Julia also shared another exchange in which Azealia asked Julia if she could help her with setting up staged paparazzi shots and secure her a discount at a hotel. 

Julia captioned the screengrab: 'I'm such a junkie and I'm so gross but here she is asking to get papped with me and then also asking me for a hotel plug.'

The actress then addressed her past with drugs in a since-deleted statement that read: 'I'm open about my issues with addiction because I want to destigmatize it!

Not al addicts are 'junkies'.

'That is so horrible to say. It's a real f*cking disease. And I've also been open about my recovery journey!!! But nobody wants to mention that right..... If this troll says one more thing about my parenting or my son...

'I was too nice to her cuz I felt sorry for her but now I realize why she spends all the holidays alone.

Nobody wants that energy sis!!!'  

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Azealia and Julia for comment.  

Julia has become a household name following a short-lived two-month romance with Kanye, from whom she split with earlier this week. 

She was recently blasted by an Instagram follower who commented telling her: 'You talked about the man in the press like you all were married.

Just desperate for the attention. Wasn't even 15mins, maybe like 2 mins of fame.

But Julia fired back at the troll, writing: 'He f***ing wanted me to!!!!'

Meanwhile Azealia is known for her shocking social media outbursts.  

The pair's horrific feud comes days after Azealia called Kanye an 'abusive psychopath'  amid his public feud with estranged wife Kim.

She shared a story last week that read: 'Kanye West is an abusive psychopath, it's beyond mental illness.'

She went on to criticise his parenting, saying: 'Y'all are making way too many excuses for Kanye.

This is the second time he has publicly bullied North West.'
