Azealia Banks claims she’s a witch, threatens “hex” on Twitter CEO in mixtape row
“I have 3 strands of a billionaire’s hair. I should steal his luck.”
Azealia Banks is no stranger to rap beef, but her latest feud has seen her threaten to cast a spell on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey over what she alleges is a broken promise to tweet about her mixtape.
As Recode reports, Banks claims that in exchange for a promotional tweet last year about Dorsey’s cash-sending Square app, Dorsey promised to return the favour and promote her music.
Guys! I just got a cashtag! It's the new way to send & receive money! You get $5 to sign up. My cashtag is https://t.co/L5OUN7aTMy

After failing to deliver on his promise, Banks took to Twitter and claimed that not only is she a “real witch,” but Dorsey had originally sent some of his hair to the rapper for her to make an amulet of protection – hair she implied was instead going into creating a hex spell for the CEO.
he also sent me his hair in an envelope because i was supposed to make him an amulet for protection.

Recode approached Square for comment on whether Dorsey had sent his hair to Banks and made a deal to promote her mixtape, and the company responded with an Arrested Development GIF.
Twitter’s response on the matter was a GIF of Shia LaBeouf.
It’s not clear exactly which mixtape Dorsey didn’t tweet about, but the rapper recently released Slay-Z, which includes collaborations with Rick Ross and Nina Sky.
