Love her music, but can never go to a concert of hers personally for me. Herself outside of her music is too messy for me.

[acidosaur]

yeah, I love her music but her whole anti-vaxx stance is too much for me

[deadendqueen16]

LMAO, I still think about those goddamn truffle fries whenever I see M.I.A.

lol wow, it's excellent when both subject & journalist come off as huge assholes, isn't it? And somehow I didn't realize she was (is?) married to a Bronfman, who I will now always associate with NXIVM. 😳

[trancexperiment]

Yeah the journalist looked like she was itching to make MIA look worse than she should lol

[frejasface]

oh damn I didn't even think of the NXIVM connection

[irajaxon]

same. i read "seagram's heir" and went "...oh".

[glider]

truffles are really expensive so I interpret it like a commentary on her being a bougie hypocrite

[coquettishkat]

i believe the journalist ordered truffle fries and then wrote about how mia likes expensive things in a condescending way? it was in the last interviews post that someone quoted it but it went something like "mia claims she's just like everyone else while eating her expensive truffle fries" lol

[frejasface]

I think it was to make M.I.A. seem hypocritical by eating bougie food while preaching about injustice

[fimh]

man when Kala came out i used to just play it on repeat. i remember my roommates and the kids i nannied for all being so fucking tired of paper planes before it was a single because i would just play it over and over lol then they all had to suffer from it getting played out on the radio

i was also supposed to see her in concert in december 2007 and my friend and i got into a fight literally as i was driving to pick her up lol and she refused to go and we didnt go to the show.
