'Stop chastising the president': Azealia Banks defends Trump's 'Muslim ban' and tells 'disgusted' Rihanna to 'shut up'

Rihanna has found herself on the receiving end of Azealia Banks's social media ire.

The Diamonds singer had slammed Donald Trump's executive order on immigration - widely dubbed a 'Muslim ban' - tweeting Saturday night: 'Disgusted.'

'The news is devastating!' RiRi added. 'America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!” 

On Sunday Azealia hit back slamming 'non-citizen' Rihanna, telling her:  'Stop chastising the president'.

Outraged: On Saturday Rihanna tweeted her 'disgust' at Trump's executive order on immigration banning travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries

On the offensive: On Sunday Azealia Banks hit back via social media at the Barbados-born R&B singer telling her to 'shut up' and cal;ling her 'stupid and pathetic'

Azealia, who is infamous for igniting social media feuds with other celebrities, continued to rail against the Barbados-born R&B star.

'As far as rihanna (who isn’t a citizen, and can’t vote) and all the rest of the celebrities who are using their influence to stir the public, you lot really REALLY need to shut up and sit down,' the 25-year-old wrote.

'Stop chastising the president. It’s stupid and pathetic to watch, she went on. 'Hoping the president fails is like getting on an airplane and hoping the pilot crashes.'

Rihanna posted a black and white photo of herself a little while later in which she's seen pulling a face.

She added the caption: 'the face you make when you a immigrant #stayawayfromthechickens #iheartnuggets #saveourhens.'

Responded: Rihanna then shared a black-and-white photo of herself with the caption: 'the face you make when you a immigrant #stayawayfromthechickens #iheartnuggets #saveourhens'

Black arts: Bizarre: Rihanna's post appeared to reference the rapper's revelation that she sacrifices live chickens as part of her rituals as a witch and Azealia hit back with this image

Wanting the last word: Azealia then posted this selfie to her Instagram showing her pursing her lips

A couple hours later, she shared another image - this time of a person in a red t-shirt against a black background and with an American flag covering their face. 

She wrote: 'the face you make when you screaming in an empty room.'

The back and forth continued Sunday afternoon as Azealia continued to post on Instagram, sharing an image of a witch holding a broom silhouetted against a full moon.

Written on the image were the words: 'I am a Witch, don't push me. Knocking me down is the easy part. If you want me to stay there trust me, you will need backup.'

The latest series of posts isn't the first time Azealia has been embroiled in controversyrecently.

In May last year she was suspended from Twitter after a foul-mouthed social media tirade at ex-boybander Zayn Malik. 

She's also been engaged in social media feuds with Sia and Sarah Palin.

Meanwhile, battery charges she brought against actor Russell Crowe after he threw her out of a Beverly Hills hotel suite following an altercation were dropped in December.

Stopped responding: Rihanna also shared this image with the caption: 'the face you make when you screaming in an empty room'
