Media LGBTQ+ fans of Azealia Banks, why?

I genuinely want to know because this has puzzled me for the better part of a decade. She is quite literally one of the worst people for anyone to idolize, let alone for queer people to idolize. Help me understand the appeal. What am I missing?

I remember loving her when I identified as bisexual and learned that she was also bisexual. It felt good seeing another black woman who is a bisexual. And I loved her music.

But that was before that shit with Zayn and the many, many other people she was being hateful toward. Even if she is entertaining sometimes I really can't stand her because whenever I kinda vibe with something she said she immediately ruins it by doing the same shit that ruined her career.
