As the release of her third studio album ///Y/ (Maya) is just a few months away, it’s no surprise to see M.I.A.’s name making headlines. With that said, one article in particular has caught the alternative-pop star’s attention.
In a feature piece written for The New York Times titled “M.I.A.’s Agitprop Pop,” contributor Lynn Hirschberg questions the political motives and truth behind M.I.A.’s music and personal life, including the birth of her son Ikhyd. “In one of many contradictions that seem to provide the narrative for Maya’s life and art, Ikhyd was not, as she had repeatedly announced he would be, born at home in a pool of water.” She continues, “As usual, she wanted to transform her personal life into a political statement.”
M.I.A. responded by posting Hirschberg’s phone number on her Twitter page stating, “917.834.3158 CALL ME IF YOU WANNA TALK TO ME ABOUT THE N Y T TRUTH ISSUE, ill b taking calls all day bitches ;).”
M.I.A. later said she plans to post the full interview on NeetRecordings.com this weekend, to which Hirschberg told the New York Observer, “I have no idea what she’s talking about.”
You can read the full feature piece here. ///Y/ will be released July 13 on N.E.E.T./XL/Interscope Recordings.

M.I.A. is trash.

And the bitch is fake. I thought she was a revolutionary who came out of the sums. This bitch has been living good all her life and while her people struggle. She’s faker than rick ross.

how do your own assumptions being proven false make her fake exactly? Dumbass.
Whatever man, MIA is on some next level shit, yall just need to open up your minds a little.
Word up,M.I.A. is rawer than the majority of rap cats out here…
She is married to a jewish billionaires son who owns Warner Music and Seagrams gin . She is a living contradiction and she is using the political turmoil in her country to push her mainstream career. Read the article and learn, because if the lady who wrote really lied M.I.A.’s lawyer would have sued and been all on that ass. I admit i like some of her songs but it lacks facts and her fathere who is “such a rebel” has been working for the goverment of Sri Lanka for over 20 years. her mom was sewing together medals for the queen. Her struggle is not the struggle of her peoples. For goodness sakes she engaged to a billionaire which makes her one as well. She like a female Eminem they live off shock value after they are no longer seen as crazy or shocking their subject matter will become blan basic and played.
Hey Real Talk is Real Talk??? So, because she got married to a rich dude, she can no longer make the same music that made her famous? She can’t try to show the poverty stricken nation she’s from to try to shed some light on different situations throughout the world? Most people try to blast people for changing their music once they get rich, but she keeps puttin out the same shit that motivates her and you blast her for it? Nobody can satisfy most blog posters, cuz you just love to hate…just keep hatin’ haters
Yo food stamp check my whole comment and read the article ight. I’m talkin bout her story as a whole is mostly fabricated being a rebel, being poor, and being some type of hipster gangster rebel musician, yea she make music but not on any real grounds she doenst call for unity and peace in her country and like I said if her and her fam were rebels who dad wouldn’t be workin for the govt, she talks as if she lived this shyt.the reason why I bring up her fiancee is because she always talks about fuck the industry and what not when she is signed to a major and married the heir of a major and a major liquor company she is a living contradiction and lie like rick ross don’t be a blind fan. You don’t have to call me a hater I don’t hate anyone, I just want her to be straight up and not try so hard to put up this psuedo – rebel front because like the guy from sri lanka said she is encouragin war not askin for them to stop
weather u agree or not……….i like how now hiphopdx put this lady on blast ahaha her phone gonna be blowin up…just sayin

M.I.A is more hardcore, Musically, then most rappers……..Fuck it, even Lady Gaga and Rhianna make harder records then these dudes, never thought I’d see the day when Rappers were making PG music and female Pop stars were pushing buttons, If I had a teenager, I would rather they listen to Drake and Wayne then either of them, Rap these days is safe and non-threatening, Full house type music, lol
Charles Hamilton is what you should listen to if you want good music.
som of her music is good but she PHONY!!
