Azealia Banks has said that she is ‘in shock’ and ‘confused’ after suffering a miscarriage.

The US musician, who was controversially thrown out of Russell Crowe’s dinner party back in October, told fans about her heartbreak in a Facebook post.

Opening up about her ordeal on Tuesday, the 25-year-old asked her followers to share their own experiences.

She wrote: “So I've just had a really major life event happen and I want to talk about it because this wouldn't be an Azealia Banks page without loads of oversharing right?

“Anywho, I've just had a miscarriage and am pretty taken aback by it all and really confused and in shock and guilty and a bit depressed and like a failure and very ashamed.”

She added: “Has anyone else had this same experience who cares to share some words of wisdom or words of anything regarding this topic.

“The self-loathing bit is a real struggle for me at the moment so share any words here, They will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.”

The hip hip star recently filed battery charges against Crowe, whom she claims physically and verbally abused her during the fracas at his party, which he denies.

A number of onlookers claimed that it was Banks who was acting ‘erratically’ during the event.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said it would not be seeking to prosecute Crowe as witnesses described "Banks, not Crowe, as the assaultive party".
