M.I.A. is speaking out after Kid Cudi fired her following comments at the Rebel Ragers Tour that are going viral.
If you did not see, the 50-year-old “Paper Planes” musician was performing as one of the openers for the tour over the weekend when she made comments about immigration.
She apparently said: “I’ve been canceled for many reasons. I never thought I would be canceled for being a brown Republican voter.”
She also said: “I can’t do ‘Illygirl,’ though some of you could be in the audience.”
The audience booed, and Kid Cudi later issued a statement about firing her.
“I WROTE ‘ILLYGAL’ ON THE MAYA LP A SONG FROM 2010. I STARTED THIS INTRO TO THE SONG WITH THE STATEMENT SAYING I’M ILLYGAL, AND I SAID MY TEAM HASN’T GOTTEN VISAS YET. THEN PLAYED A SONG THAT HAD LYRICS SAYING ‘FU&% THE LAW,’ WHICH I STILL BELIEVE, IF THE LAW IS UNJUST F@%& IT,” she began.
“DO NOT GAS LIGHT MY WORDS. THAT IS THE WORK OF SATAN. I WROTE ‘BORDERS’ AND ‘ILLYGAL’ AND ‘PAPER PLANES’ BEFORE YOU THOUGHT IMMIGRANT RIGHTS WERE COOL. I’VE HAD THSES BATTLES BY MYSELF WITHOUT THE HELP OF MILLIONS OF FANS BACKING ME . I DON’T NEED THIS VIRTUE SIGNAL ERA TO ALL OF A SUDDEN ERASE AN ENTIRE LIFE I’VE LED.”
“JESUS WAS AN IMMIGRANT AND A REBEL. I HAVE NO APPOLGY FOR THE JUDGEMENTAL THE WICKED AND THE IGNORENT, FOR THOSE ARE SPIRITS THAT WE MUST OVER COME IN OUR LIVES AND IN THIS WORLD. JESUS RETURNS TO LEAD THE WORLD JUSTLY BECAUSE THERE IS INJUSTICE IN THIS WORLD . IM PROUD OF THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR IT EVERYDAY. GOD BLESS YOU. GO LISTEN TO M.I.7.,” she concluded, referring to her Christian faith-inspired new album, released in April.
“And then you endorsed Donald Trump,” a fan responded.
“DON’T BE AN AGENT OF DIVISION, I CAN’T VOTE IN THE US, AND 48% OF LATIN COMMUNITY VOTED TRUMP. SO ARE YOU GOING TO HATE THEM ALL? WE MUST UNITE TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY, THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO LIVE IN A BETTER PLACE. IF YOU ARE EASYLY LED BY RUMOUR THEN YOU DON’T SEE THE LIGHT FOR YOURSELF. I PRAY FOR YOUR AWAKENING,” she responded.
M.I.A. then reposted a tweet from 2024, writing: “PEOPLE PRACTICE DIVINATION, READ TARRO CARDS GO TO WITCHES FORTUNE TELLERS LOOK AT STARS READ HOROSCOPES TALK TO THERAPISTS READ PALMS GO TO PSYCHICS WHO CLAM THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE THE FUTURE, YET THEY CAN’T TAKE A TWEET FROM ME SUGGESTING COMMON SENSE PREDICTION THAT TRUMP WAS GONNA WIN.”
“MAYBE THAT’S MY ANOINTING. MY GIFT, MY TRUE ABILITY TO GUIDE YOU TO WHAT IS NEXT, THATS WHY AS AN ARTIST I GET COPIED, LIKE I’VE ALWAYS SAID WHAT WILL HAPPEN . ISNT IT TRUE THAT HE WON? WHERE IS THE LIE? I WOULD LIKE TO FIX MY PREVIOUS PERDITION THOUGH, I M GOING TO SWAP RFK WITH THOMAS MASSIE,” she went on to say.
“I am secure in Christ and I know how Satan operates,” she concluded.
