Azealia Banks may have finally ended one of her numerous beefs.

On Wednesday night, Iggy Azalea took to Snapchat to address a possible reconciliation with Banks after a five-year feud.

“I was thinking a lot about feminism, forgiveness and being a grownup,” the 27-year-old rapper said. “I kinda wanna meet up with Azealia Banks and speak to her. I just would really like for us to at least be able to come to an understanding. I don’t think I’m going to agree with her on every topic, or that she’ll agree with me, but I think we should privately have a conversation.”

She continued, “It’s just kind of been a lot of years worth of negativity with this person, and I just want to finish that chapter of my life. And if nothing else, I think that it would be good for history in female rap for us to be able to squash it, because bitch, I’m tired! I don’t want to keep on fighting with this motherf—ker. I can’t do it! I can’t.”

Banks, 26, and Azalea’s public spat began in 2012 when Azalea was the only female rapper featured on the cover of XXL’s Freshmen issue. Banks reportedly wrote in a series of since-deleted tweets, “Iggy Azalea on the XXL list is all wrong … How can you endorse a woman who called herself a ‘runaway slave master?'”

The comment sparked years of Twitter feuds and insults being thrown from both sides.

Banks responded to Azalea’s Snapchat on Thursday, telling, XXL:

I think a true reconciliation can happen once there is some acknowledgment of what hip-hop has been trying to tell her. I still don’t think she quite understands the effect her racial privilege and the socio-economic leverage that comes with it has on a marginalized group of women’s culture. Race aside, this is also a women’s issue. I hope that there will be a chance for us to have an open discussion about this, as I feel America and the world could really benefit from some candid discourse between two public figures about the world’s biggest sickness: racism. I wish for women of the future to be able to refer to this moment in women’s culture as an example of what can happen when people take time to understand.
