From The Article:

M.I.A. responded to Cudi hours later on X, writing in all caps, “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. DO NOT GASLIGHT 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.”

The fuck did I just read? Has she hung out with Kanye too often?

You've gotta be nearly brain dead to fall for this shit. Look at fetterman.

Drugs

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Are a helluva drug

[-] ushmel@piefed.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's when the drugs stop being used tbh

All caps is Republican tradition

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Ma'am you became relevant because you had a silly song with sound effects that became popular because it was featured in a movie about weed. that's it. that's all you had going for you.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

objectively wrong take. she had 2 critically acclaimed albums and a 3rd that was ahead of its time. and "bad girls" was a hit in the UK

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

No way this huge track never hit #1

The latter's single "Paper Planes" (co-produced by at-the-time partner Diplo) peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.

It was so big!

Matangi is a first-class hot mess start to finish. 🤌

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

youre thinking of aim

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

She supposedly "found Jesus" during COVID and now... Whatever this is.

[-] manxu@piefed.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

Okay, please help me out, brothers and sisters and non-binary siblings. She doesn't sound at all like she is making a right-wing point to me.

I WROTE BORDERS AND ILLYGAL AND PAPER PLANES BEFORE YOU THOUGHT IMMIGRANT RIGHTS WERE COOL.

She was in favor of immigrant rights before it was cool, that's the opposite of what she's accused of. The entire post is a wild restatement of her pro-immigrant, anti-law stance.

There may be an additional wrinkle: A republican in the UK is not an American Republican. That is, she is probably advancing an anti-monarchist stance instead of a pro-GOP one. In the UK, a republican is a staunchly anti-establishment, fringe left figure.

She endorsed Trump in 2024 and also tweeted

If Alex Jones pays for lying, shouldn't every celebrity pushing vaccines pay too?

So this may be an over-generous assessment.

[-] manxu@piefed.social 17 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for the clarification! Yeah, eff her then.

[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I think covid broke a lot of people's brains

[-] Eric@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

She literally endorsed Trump. Is that a UK republican thing?
