While many questioned why she would boil her dead cat, some fans stated that Azealia is moving and wanted to take her cat's remains with her.
"She is moving and wanted to take remnants of her pet with her. Some of you have AB confused. Sis doesn’t eat CAT tf," commented one fan. While another wrote, "She is practicing her RELIGION. Stop attacking her for not subscribing to westernized religion like the rest of you!"

What religion is Azealia Banks? The rapper practices brujería.
In 2016, Azealia made headlines after sharing a video of herself cleaning a blood-stained floor and claiming that she practices brujería (a Spanish term that refers to various kinds of witchcraft and occult practices).
The rapper panned the camera to the bloody closet, which appeared to have white feathers stuck to the floor.
“The amount of crap that’s about to come off my floor right now guys? Oh my god,” she said in the 2016 video. “You know I got to scrape all this s--t up. I’ve got my sandblaster, and my goggles — it’s about to go down.” Adding, “Real witches do real things."
Following that first controversial video, Sia reportedly tweeted, "Sacrificing animals for your gain is the wackest s--t I've ever heard. Get ahead by being awesome, kind and working hard (sic)."
According to the NZ Herald, Azealia shared the singer's tweet on Instagram, writing, "And your ugly pasty dry white lady winter skin face is the ugliest face I've ever seen that must be why you hide it all the time."
Adding, "Have some f--king respect for my f--king traditional African religion you pompous white b---h." Through the years, Azealia has claimed to be a "witch," previously revealing that she became interested in it because her "mother practiced white table magic."
