Voodoo King clears MSG of possible ‘Mamdani curse’ after ...
Ella Morriso · 2026-05-20 · via New York Post

He worked his magic!

A Voodoo King delivered a clutch assist ahead of the Knicks wild Tuesday night comeback win, conducting a spiritual cleanse to quell fears from fans that Mayor Zohran Mamdani would bring his “Curse of the Mambino” to Madison Square Garden.

Michael Washington, 46, who goes by the name Tata Tilk, arrived outside the world’s most famous arena just in the nick of time, performing a Palo Mayombe spell about an hour before the Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 tip-off.

“I command thee for no more spells from Mayor Mamdani on any team or anyone that interfere with their success. I’m here to protect the Knicks from his benevolent respect,” Washington chanted outside the arena where the Knicks eventually pulled off a miraculous victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He was originally summoned to MSG after Hizzoner hinted earlier in the day that he would attend the game.

“It is an incredible run. I am, like every New Yorker, just continuing to hope. Maybe I will be there, we’ll see, but I’m definitely watching,” Mamdani said at an unrelated press conference.

The mayor’s remarks created paranoia amongst fans after the lefty mayor’s hug with Mr. and Mrs. Met was blamed for the team’s brutal losing streak, dubbed the “Curse of the Mambino.”

The “Voodoo King” brought a cauldron full of “secret” spiritual items — including human and animal bones and meteorites — for his witchcraft.

Four men stand around a cauldron with goat horns and a machete, as one man in a black cloak appears to cast a "spell" while the other three men in Knicks jerseys react dramatically.

He told The Post that Mamdani has proven he has “magical abilities” to curse New York sports teams and should stay far away from the game.

“He’s basically showing the magic abilities that he has through cursing an entire team, in other words, multiple people, like multiple counterparts, like all at once,” he explained.

“It was a spell to basically not have Mamdani curse the Knicks, because we were nervous about him coming tonight, and he might possibly curse the Knicks, so I did the match for it,” Washington added of his ritual. “He wouldn’t be able to curse the Knicks, so no Mambino curses here.”

And the witchcraft might’ve just worked.

The Knicks staged an improbably 115-104 overtime win over the Cavaliers — overcoming a harrowing 22-point fourth-quarter deficit.

The team’s stunning comeback is the largest in a Conference Finals game since 1997, according to the NBA.

Since 1997, the only larger fourth-quarter comeback to win any playoff game is the Clippers’ 24-point rally against the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the 2012 First Round.

Kareem “Reemo Meerak” Tyson, 46, thanked the Voodoo King for staving off any of the socialists’ sorcery before the epic win.

“Listen, Mamdani, listen, you’ve been doing an amazing job, respectful, respectful. You cannot ruin our flow. You see what you did with the other orange and blue, and that’s not cool. Okay, that’s not cool. It’s gonna lose you brownies for us,” Tyson, a social media personality from Harlem, said.

“I feel amazing. Thank God. Thank you [Voodoo King] for what you’ve been doing so far for protection.”

A group of friends, Nick Ellard, James Questel, and Aidan Jordan, also gathered outside the arena to watch the game — and made their feelings about the Mamdani curse crystal clear.

“I’d love him to stay as far away from the team as possible,” said Jordan, a 20-year-old college student from Long Island.

“Don’t hug anybody. Tell him to pay for some waters for everybody,” Elleard, 20, added.
