As seen in the photo above and those below of rapper Azealia Banks, she had often sported a cross around her neck when Azealia performed in places like North London in 2014 or at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in 2015. Banks was promoting her first studio album, “Broke With Expensive Taste,” but Banks has caused a bunch of confusion with her latest Snapchat video, which conjured possibilities of animal sacrifice.
It must be stated that while there was animal sacrifice when the Hebrew Temple stood in ancient Jerusalem, modern Judeo-Christian religions do not sacrifice animals or make blood offerings. Yet, Azealia managed to send the Internet into a tizzy with her video below, in which Banks speaks about cleaning up three years worth chicken blood that caked the floor of her closet.
In the video, Azealia is shown with the kind of power sander that one might use to scrape the finish off of their kitchen cabinets. According to Just Jared, Banks shared the video of herself via Snapchat, showing her cleaning up the dried mess of alleged chicken blood and feathers. The 25-year-old Azealia has often graced the headlines of celebrity news reports, but this one Snapchat video is seemingly causing furrowed brows around the web.
Azealia doesn’t specifically state that Banks has killed chickens in her closet. Azealia says that there’s a bunch of “crap” that’s about to come off of her floors. Something Banks called “three years worth of brujeria,” which is reportedly witchcraft in Spanish. Azealia claimed that “real witches do real things” in the Snapchat video, which can be seen below.
Warning : The following Snapchat video of Banks claiming to be cleaning dried chicken blood off of her floor might be disturbing to some viewers.

A sampling of the comments Azealia’s receiving via social media can be read below. Banks can also be seen in a below image, still sporting that cross during a concert. It’s notable that Banks doesn’t wear the cross when cleaning up the alleged chicken blood from her closet. Many people are commenting that Azealia’s “chicken blood” video caps off 2016 perfectly.
Sean Donnelly: “[The year] 2016 has been such a strange year, it’s only fitting that it ends with Azealia Banks revealing she’s been sacrificing chickens for 3 years.”
