'Real witches do real things': Azealia Banks shares bizarre video of herself cleaning feathers and blood from her closet after 'three years of SACRIFICING CHICKENS'
She is something of a controversial figure, having recently been embroiled in a hotel room scuffle with Russell Crowe after a social media tirade at Zayn Malik.
But Azaelia Banks still managed to shock fans with 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 is shown 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.
Azealia claimed to be a 'witch' last year, revealing that her interest in magic came from her mother.
'My mother practised white table magic. Prayers to the ancestors and praying to saints and praying for all kind of protection' she told Broadly Vice.
She went into further explanation with a typically controversial tweet where she wrote: '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***.

PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange told People magazine it was horrifying that Banks was so out of touch.
'People are rightly horrified to learn that Azealia Banks reportedly has been slaughtering chickens in her closet for three years, and that she is apparently so out of touch with public sentiment that she bragged about it on social media,' she said.
However she said she hoped the video of the cleanup was a sign of a change in attitude.
'We also hope that Banks’ closet clean-up is a sign that she is planning to clean up her act, become a good witch, and stop the cruel and gruesome sacrifice of frightened animals,' she added.
The latest post isn't the first time Azealia has been embroiled in controversy this year.
She was suspended from Twitter after a foul-mouthed social media tirade at Zayn Malik back in May.

She caused a whirlwind after she wrote a string of homophobic and racist messages at the ex boyband star which subsequently caused her Twitter account to be suspended and a UK festival to pull her appearance.
The rapper then backtracked, telling MailOnline: 'I actually apologised a couple of times, but I don't think it got through to people,' she said. 'I think when the situation was still so fresh, people weren’t just not wanting to hear it.
She added: 'I honestly got carried away and look let me apologise again because I don't think everyone bought it.'
Meanwhile, battery charges she brought against actor Russell Crowe were dropped earlier this month after he threw her out of a Beverly Hills hotel suite following an altercation.
