In July 2013, director Steve Loveridge leaked a teaser video for a documentary that was scheduled to accompany Matangi. Roc Nation reportedly pulled the video, saying that it was hurting the set-up of the album, according to rollingstone.com.
M.I.A. has also said that Interscope Records, which released her music, said that Matangi was “too positive,” per rollingstone.com.
