Russell Crowe Blasted By Rapper For Using N-Word!

Russell Crowe is trying to save his career after rap star Azealia Banks went public over a big brawl during a bash in the Oscar-winner's hotel suite — with both sides making wild charges! Partygoers who saw the ruckus have gone public with a wild tale about Azealia, who's made National ENQUIRER headlines before with her bizarre behavior. The rapper, however, is insisting that she has evidence of Russell calling her the n-word!

All sides are in agreement that Azealia showed up at Russell's shindig as the guest of rapper RZA (pictured) — who's worked with the actor on several films. RZA, however, wasn't doing the famously volatile actor any favors by bringing along the notorious Azealia. According to eyewitnesses, she didn't wast any time causing a scene at the party!

Reports from eyewitnesses say that Azealia was soon mocking the "boring white men" at the party — and began ranting about how the guests would "love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat...like some real Tarantino s#!t."

According to those eyewitnesses, Russell stayed calm until Azealia looked ready to throw a glass — when he grabbed her, hauled her out of the suite, and had security guards take her out of the hotel.

Azealia went to Facebook to tell a different story: "To recap my night, I went to a [party] at Russell Crowe's suite, at which he called me a ni**er, choked me, threw me out and spat at me. Last night was one of the hardest nights of sleep I've had in a long time."

"The men in the room allowed it to happen," she added, saying: "I feel terrible today." Azealia later deleted the Facebook post, but added another to insist that she was able to back up her claims with evidence. "I have receipts," she declared. "Stay tuned!"

Russell's career might very well survive this scandal, though — thanks to Azealia's previous bizarre antics, and RZA already speaking out to say that the only person at the party using the n-word was Azealia herself. Meanwhile, insiders are speculating this is the end of Azealia's career, with one saying: "She was only hanging with RZA because he was her last chance for a new record deal!"
