Compassion: One Twitter user had empathy for the artist
In another tweet, she attempted to explain her actions by writing: ‘Black people are naturally born SEERS, DIVINERS, WITCHES AND WIZARDS. we have REAL supernatural powers, and the sooner we ALL learn to cultivate them and access them, the sooner we can REALLY fix s***.
This is also not the first time Azealia has been criticized for her alleged treatment of animals. In December 2016 she shared a bizarre Instagram video showing herself cleaning out a cupboard after three years of apparently sacrificing chickens.
The video starts with Azaelia looking ready to do some DIY, telling fans: ‘The amount of c**p that’s about to come off my floor right now guys. Oh My God.’
However, it soon emerges that this is no ordinary cleaning job with the camera panning to a small closet covered with the remains of feathers and blood.

‘Guys, you know, I’ve got to scrape all this ‘s***’ up,’ she declares, as blood can be seen sprayed all over the walls.
It is not known exactly why the rapper has been sacrificing the birds, but she claims on the video that it is ‘three years of brujeria,’ which is the Spanish word for witchcraft.
‘I’ve got my sandblaster, my goggles…it’s about to go down,’ she says, protective eyewear perched on her nose. ‘Real witches do real things.’

The star can then be seen brandishing her sandblaster to scrape an array of feathers off the closet floor.
Banks also famously got into a heated back-and-forth on social media with artist Sia who criticized her over the post.
Sia, now 45, wrote: ‘sacrificing animals for your gain is the wackest s*** I’ve ever heard. Get ahead by being awesome, kind and working hard.’

Warning! She followed the post by offering to produce an ointment for the singer’s ‘chapped face’, before declaring ‘this is your first warning’
Responding to the remarks, Azealia raged: ‘And your ugly pasty dry white lady winter skin face is the ugliest fave (sic) I’ve ever seen that must be why you hide it all the time.
‘HAVE SOME F*****G RESPECT FOR MY F*****G TRADITIONAL AFRICAN RELIGION YOU POMPOUS WHITE B*TCH’
She followed the post up with another where she offered to produce an ointment for the singer’s ‘chapped face’, before declaring ‘this is your first warning’.
The posts were deleted at the time and replaced with a screen grab of the message ‘Stop apologizing. No more explanations.’
In another bizarre online rant, in May last year Banks claimed she spent a weekend at Elon Musk’s home while waiting to work with his girlfriend Grimes in a collaboration that never happened.
The controversial rapper claimed Musk was freaking out about having claimed in a tweet last week that he’d already secured funding to take Tesla private. Musk later insisted he’s never met the rapper.
But Banks claimed in a series of Instagram story posts that Musk had taken acid before he sent that tweet.
‘They bring me out there on the premise that we would hang and make music,’ Banks said. ‘But his dumb**s kept tweeting and tucked his d**k in between his a** cheeks once s**t hit the fan.’
‘I saw him in the kitchen tucking his tail in between his legs scrounging for investors to cover his ass after that tweet,’ she said of Musk over the weekend. ‘He was stressed and red in the face.’
‘I waited around all weekend while Grimes coddled her boyfriend for being too stup
id to know not to go on Twitter while on acid,’ she added on Instagram.

In subsequent posts, Banks even suggested that the couple may have invited her to their home for ‘some weird threesome sex s**t to begin with.’
