Today in Tha Wire, TMZ reports as no surprise that Azealia Banks is feeling some type of way about  RZA not backing her claims against actor Russell Crowe. As previously reported this week, the raptress was RZA's plus-1 at an exclusive dinner party given by Crowe. Things went bad real quick after the controversial rapper allegedly began insulting the host and a few guests at the party.

Azealia filed a police report and accused Crowe of calling her the “n” word and physically assaulting her. However, several guests, including  RZA, gave statements on what they seen go down in Crowe's hotel suite, and none of them sided with Banks' story. Of course, salty that her friend isn't ride-or-die with her allegations, Azealia announced she's no longer interested in signing to the Wu-Tang Clan legend's label.

Prior to the chaotic dinner party at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Azealia and RZA were in the process of negotiating a record deal, and they were also working on a movie project. Now it appears the Harlem rapper has put the brakes on all of that. An investigation is still pending on confrontation, and soon as the conclusion is revealed, I'll announce the details.

In the meantime, don't look like RZA is stressing over Azealia's change of heart. A brotha is movin' on to bigger and better things: FASHION. The rapper/actor is actually launching two menswear lines...in one. One of which is fly contemporary called 36 Chambers, which reflects a mixture of RZA's Hip Hop roots and eastern philosophy for high fashion flair.

To explain his latest creations, RZA told AllHipHop, “Using that as a foundation, we’ve blended together the rugged feel of streetwear with the quality craftsmanship of high fashion, to create apparel with a classic look.”

The other side of his line is called The Golden Dragon, and features custom woven jacquard fabrics created by fashion icon Chapin Atchison. Some of his items are a bit high scale, and even come with a poem by renowned Chinese calligrapher, Mak Ming Chan.

FYI, select pieces are available now, and you can look for the full line to be available November 18, at 11am EST. There it is! Check out Tha Wire every weekday at 12:50pm and 3:50pm on The People's Station 107 Jamz.
