It looks like newcomer Azealia Banks has other things going on besides trying to humiliate T.I. on twitter. The rapstress has announced that she will be performing at the upcoming Costume Institute Gala at the MET, tweeting the following:

“I’ve Been invited to Perform for PRADA next week in NYC! Gonna b so lush !! Let’s see what new songs I debut there! #metball2012.

Banks’ tweets were removed a short time later.
