No one will want to mess with Azealia Banks after seeing this new music video.

The 23-year-old rapper gathers her robotic army and makes war, not love, in this spine-tingling clip for her latest single Ice Princess.

She first appears in the clouds high in the sky, sitting on a throne made entirely of ice and protected by a large serpent.

'I'm so cold I'm dripping...,' Azealea begins in a mesmerising voice.

Her face is a pale blue-white with over emphasized eyes and blue lipsticked mouth, while in place of hair slithers a mass of venomous snakes that would haunt even Perseus, the hero of Greek mythology who beheaded the monstrous Medusa, .

Ice Princess is the new single off Azealia's debut album Broke With Expensive Taste, available now.
