I didn't know M.I.A. Holy shit I need to share this:

Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam was born on 18 July 1975,[9] in Hounslow, London, the daughter of Arul Pragasam,[10] a Sri Lankan Tamil engineer, writer, and activist, and his wife, Kala, a seamstress. When she was six months old, her family moved to Jaffna in northern Sri Lanka, where her brother Sugu was born.[11] There, her father adopted the name Arular and became a political activist and founding member of the Eelam Revolutionary Organisation of Students (EROS), a political Tamil group affiliated with the LTTE. The first 11 years of Arulpragasam's life were marked by displacement caused by the Sri Lankan Civil War.

How do children of such based parents fall so low??

Famously, she named her first album, Arular, after him

I starting reading the article expecting her to be of posh Sinhalese ancestry. Nah, her parents and background were cool. Maybe material success rotted her brain????
