6. Before she became a rapper, she pursued a career in visual arts! Graduating from Central St Martins College, she worked as a filmmaker, designer and visual artist before launching her singing career in 2002. Jude Law was one of her first fans and art buyers!
5. Her musical career started because of Elastica! After designing the cover for one of the Brit band’s singles, M.I.A. hit the road with them to document their tour on camera. On the tour she bonded with opening act Peaches, who encouraged her to pursue a career in music.
4. She is philanthropic and politically active! A few of her causes include Youth Action International and the Unstoppable Foundation, and she has publicly donated loads of money to various charities.
3. She has set a world record! She is the only artist to be nominated for an Academy Award, Grammy Award, Brit Award, Mercury Prize and Alternative Turner Prize.
2. M.I.A., who had been estranged from her father since the age of 10, used her first album to get him back in her life! As a child, her father, Arul, estranged himself from the family and M.I.A. had absolutely no contact with him after moving back to London with her mother and siblings. She
named her first album Arular after her father, in hopes he would seek her out. Though the two reunited, their relationship never recovered.
1. Her baby is the heir to a $2.5 billion fortune! Her baby daddy, Benjamin Bronfman, is the son of Edgar Bronfman, Jr., who served as CEO of Warner Music Group from 2004 to 2011 and Chairman of the company from 2011 to 2012. The Bronfmans earned their fortune through the Seagram Company.

Never heard of her. Granny Madonna's lip-syncing show was the first time I'd seen her.
She's dog ugly and didn't seem that talented. Meh. Flipping off the camera was sort of funny though... only because the bored fat housewives are whining about it.

Who is M.I.A.? Hmmm, seems like a 36yo piece of trash that's trying hard to make a name for herself, and it's NOT WORKING. Once a trash can, always a trash can. I hope they fine the hell out of her. $1M seems fine.
