People are defending this by saying it's part of her African culture.

🤧

In what context?

The only time ive ever seen an animal killed here is when they slaughter a cow for a wedding celebration.

If a black person in Africa wants chicken they will go to the shop and buy one for $3

Nothing says America like attributing crazy shit to Africans

 

[Tetra-9]

Why does this make me like her? I never cared for her before and now at least she's made herself more unique? I mean come on y'all a girl who does this has to be into some hot shit.

 

[KazenY2J]

Apparently it's her apart of her culture so I'm not going to judge.
I'm more disturbed that she was living with dead chicken remains in her closet for three years.

lol, is it actually a part of her culture though? all she said was "traditional african culture".

even if witchcraft is her thing, sacrificing animals in a closet is not kosher

 

[SexyFish]

She says "IT IS A PART OF MY TRADITIONAL AFRICAN CULTURE" yet calls it by the name for Central American witchcraft, so I'm going to judge her as batshit insane.

She's from Harlem, so nah.

 

[KAP151]

Yeah.

Thats fucked up on all sorts of levels.

Leaving chicken blood splattered in your closet for three years is part of African culture?

 

[Machina]

This world has lost its fucking marbles.

 

[Breads]

You can be black, and hispanic, and live in the US, and have cultural ties from both of your parents. None of these things invalidate the other. She could be appropriating but please be absolutely sure before you mock her on the basis of culture.

It's Haitian voodoo from what I can tell.

I found this

Bakulu:
He drags chains behind him and is such a terrible spirit that no one dares to invoke him. His habitat is in the woods where offerings are taken to him. He himself possesses no one. Since no one wants to call on him, people simply take any offerings that go to him and leave them in the woods.

 

[Days like these...]

Didn't read all posts just wanted to point out that if you have a crazy girlfriend do NOT eat her homemade spaghetti. Secondly, I don't really have a problem with chicken sacrifices being part of a religious ritual having said that I still think she ain't right (in the head).

polygamists cult leaders have sex with kids, but it's ok because it's a part of their culture.

yeah, that blood and feather caked closet just screams for help.

 

[Machina]

Banks is getting uppity because people are criticizing her...."Haitian voodoo" practices....

That'll do me.

 

[zeemumu]

Haiti isn't in Africa.

Yeah, that was kinda my point.


Looks like it does have some roots in African culture too but there's nothing here about having a designated chicken murder room for 3 years. It says you're supposed to dump that shit in the woods.

 

[Gaogaogao]

what the fuck

 

[Grassy]

have some beef with the chicken

Yeah, burn every motherfucking bridge you can, burn them all down! No wonder no-one wants anything to do with her.

She one of those girls that put period blood in their man's food so they won't cheat ain't she?

You fucking what m8...that's not real...I mean...

Perfection.

Yeah because asking someone to know what culture she is before mocking her for appropriation and cultural relativism is the same thing.

I get having canned responses in the chamber but know when to use them. These two things aren't even remotely related and randomly spouting off things like that is a bad look for you.

nah man, in the real world, defending a chicken sacrifice closet is a bad look.

You're right.

What does that have to do with me?

That's not what I did and this is not the argument I'm making. If this is your takeaway then I urge you to reread my posts until you come up with a different interpretation because right now it just looks like you're taking potshots at relativists... which I am not. I think she's crazy and the murder closet gross and I've said as much. Multiple times.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

What the actual fuck!?!? This girl is nuttier than Mr. Peanut's asshole

It's not, she said African culture, Africa is a continent...which country? Which tribe in said country? And lastly...why wouldn't she use her culture's word instead of the Spanish word?

 

[TheGameshark]

I have a feeling this supposed African Culture she's claiming is just some Frankenstein made up of shit she read on the internet.

 

[Big Baybee]

African culture lmao

 

[And_Gignac]

She is calling "brujería" and "African culture" a practice that is more akin to Cuba's/ Dominicana Santeria and Haiti's voodoo. These 4 things are totally unrelated One to the other.

 

[R-User!]

He's too chicken.

I'll see myself out.

Perhaps you were too chicken to stay in the thread and be grilled for your pun?...

Buckbuck bagawk?

 

[Takuan]

She's got a personality disorder or three, whether this is real or not.

That closet has to smell fucking awful.

Get a shed outside or something at least.

 

[outsida]

Shorty is batshit insane.

 

[Kater]

Yikes. Somebody get her some help, and soon.

 

[Moze]

Probably best not to diagnose somebody as mentally ill based on some twitter antics. I have seen nothing to suggest she is suffering from any sort of psychotic disorder. It seems to me that she is fully aware of what she is doing and likes the attention she gets from it. She also seems to enjoy confrontation. She is basically just a horrible person. Probably.

Try googling "Azealia Banks Insane". We'll wait.

Spoiler

its not just twitter antics, she's crazy.

Her "traditional African religion" is neither traditional, nor African, nor really a religion - it's just a label for general witchcraft.

I was mocking her on the fact that she clearly doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about. For someone whose career is literal word play, she somehow managed to fuck up every single one in the sentence defending herself. Either she's absolutely insane or full of shit or both.

 

[shoelacer]

To her credit, her career has been going really well the last three years

Nah, this bitch is fuckin crazy

 

[formasymphonic]

Now I am the badguy for knowing the ratchet side of supernatural shit

fr people. Slayven is right and there, sadly, are women who do this.

Its not religion in the way you you think of the term - Juju is more heavy superstition and rituals that get passed down... As i understand it, the period blood in the food one is supposed to bind the man to the woman so he won't leave her / give her influence over him.

I used to hear people say don't let your girl offer to make you spaghetti or lasagne or anything with a tomato sauce that could conceal this. There are ways to counter but I was never into any of this so you'll have to google to find it.

the chicken and egg sacrifices (i don't know if she is doing the egg parts) are to do with success & transfer of fortune/misfortune iirc. but like I said I was never into that stuff other than being warned by family to avoid any of this type of shit and people involved in it.

 

[Count Dookkake]

I always like it when a girl makes me spaghetti.

This new information changes nothing.

No fear.

Dude, please. Is azealia banks, as always desperate for attention, getting it at any cost. This seriously isn't a cultural conflict, it's just this attention whore getting what she wants.

Use context. Again, it's azealia banks.

 

[Cepheus]

Wow. And I'm friends with a couple of people on Facebook who hero-worship her.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Sia was amazing in that reaction.

Yeah that was really amazing. Great.

 

[orochi91]

In all honesty, as long as she eats the chicken afterwards, then it's probably not that big of a deal.

But if she's just murdering these things with no intention of eating them, then that's pretty shitty.

 

[GamingKaiju]

That is pretty fuck'd up 😧

lol at using that little sander to clean up that mess she needs a industrial sander lol

 

[shoelacer]

I know it's 'new news, new thread' but can we contain the "Azealia Banks assaults landlord after being served eviction notice" news to this thread when it hits

 

[Majmun]

Just deleted all of her music off my computer.

Crazy bitch.
