**UPDATE: ** There have been a number of developments in the past 24 hours.

According to Metro, The Home Office are reportedly studying the offensive tweets that Azealia launched at Zayn Malik. Despite saying they won't comment on individual cases, they released this statement:
"“Coming to the UK is a privilege, and we expect those who come here to respect our shared values.
The Home Secretary has the power to exclude an individual if it considers that his or her presence in the UK is not conductive to the public good or if their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds.”
*Azealia Banks has deleted her WHOLE Twitter timeline but has kept screengrabs of a statement she had written to a blogger trying to explain her words and actions.

However, there was no apology and she then posted this:
We'll bring you more on this as it happens.
Zayn Malik has hit out at Azealia Banks after she launched a vile racist and homophobic attack on him.
Singer Azealia became enraged after Zayn released the video for his new song Like I Would this week, accusing him of stealing her ideas.
She claims it resembles the video for her track Yung Rapunxel but Zayn isn’t having any of it.
Sharing a collage of pictures from both their videos, she wrote online: "Damn Zayn be mood boarding the s*it out if me… I’m not mad about this though. Zayn is a cutie pie."
The former One Direction star didn’t respond directly but tweeted: "No lies… I see you reaching but I don’t care."
He added: "My @’s too good for you." Ouch!
This did not go down well with the notoriously foul-mouthed Azalea, who spat back: "@zaynmalik dude, I make better music than you. Simmer down with that fake white boy rebellion and that wannabe Bieber swag.
"Lol u a b_tch n_**a for even responding like that."
She then went on to make a number of extremely offensive comments, writing: "Keep sucking this you rapunxel dick you hair curry scented b*tch.
"Imma start calling you Punjab you ditch b*tch. You a dick rider for real. Ride this dick until the wheels fall off Punjab."
Continuing the venomous flow, she wrote: "You were the token brown boy. All those white boys in 1D disrespected you and made you their PET.
"You were only a part of 1D to draw brown attention. You are and ALWAYS will be a TOKEN to the UK.”
Rapper Azealia then shared a number of pictures of Zayn with her followers, captioning them: “I eat sand for breakfast and suck dick for dinner.”
She added: "Lol Zayn’s ft a** gave my cell number to his fans. Still doesn’t change the fact that your mother is a dirty refugee who won’t be granted asylum. LOL @zaynmalik is a ft."
Zayn attempted to calm things down, tweeting: "Why you been saying nasty things about me? I wasn’t talking about you lol?"
But the ex boyband star’s response just prompted more bile from the American rapper.
She responded: "U.S.A IS ABOUT TO TEACH YOU WHO NOT TO F*CK WITH!!
"When your entire extended family has been obliterated by good ol the U.S of A you still be trying to….
"Do you understand that you are a sang n****r who emulates white boys’ editions of black male hood?
"Do you know how lost and culture less you are?"
