Azealia Banks is "hanging up her fighting gloves".
The 23-year-old rapper has been embroiled in a number of public feuds in the past, exchanging barbs with the likes of Eminem, T.I. and Iggy Azalea, but insists she is now a "lady" and stops herself when she feels on the verge of an outburst.
She said: "Am I hanging up my fighting gloves? Yeah. I’m a lady. I don’t wanna be dealing with that.
"Now, when you feel the adrenalin going, you stop yourself. You’ve seen me curse people out. Let’s do something else now.
"When I feel it, I realise and I go and have a glass of water or something to calm down."
Azealia – who signed her record deal in 2011 when she was 19 – thinks her social media outbursts are understandable given her privileged position in modern society.
She told NME magazine: "If you give a 19 year old a million pounds and a bottle of vodka and a Chanel handbag and [an iPhone] then what do you think is going to happen?
"I always tell my mom, ‘Just imagine if you were coke binging in the 80s and you had Twitter.’ Imagine if they had Twitter during the crack epidemic."
