Her Rant
The artist unleashed a Twitter storm claiming that she is not allowed to see her son and that she has been silenced by very powerful people.
“BIDEN WON’T LET ME SEE MY CHILD. THE LONGEST PROCESSING IS MENT TO BE 2 MONTHS AND IT’S ALREADY BEEN THAT,” she began. “They basically saying I have to wait for a Republican to come to office because 9 months from now is the election. I’M NOT ALLOWED TO SEE MY CHILD FOR STEALING FOOD AT 18, WHEN I WAS POOR,YET UR GOVERNMENT IS OK WITH MY CHILD BEING WITH FAMILY CONVICTED FOR CHILD TRAFFICKING AND SEX CULTS OK.
“THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND MIGRANTS COMING IN, IS THAT I CAN’T VOTE,”
“I M PAYING U.S TAXES TOO. SICK. I HAVE SHOWN SUPPORT FOR [whistleblower Julian Assange] FOR 14 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN TO THE USA MANY TIMES. THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT THIS TIME IS, I CALLED FOR A CEASE FIRE AND SPOKE OUT AGAINST GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING. NOW I AM FORCED TO PICK BETWEEN MY CHILD AND SPEAKING UP FOR WHATS RIGHT BY GOD. MY FIRST CUSTODY BATTLE WAS 2O13. MY CHILD WAS FOUR. I WAS MANAGED BY JAYZ. WHO ULTIMATELY WAS PAID BY BRONFMANS [her child’s father is businessman Benjamin Bronfman].
I SACRIFICED MY CAREER FOR MY CHILD. THEY RIPPED ME OFF AND COPIED MY STYLE AND GAVE IT TO THEIR PUPPETS AND SHADOW BANNED ME ON EVERY PLATFORM . BUT IT WAS WORTH IT TO SAVE HIM FROM THE MADNESS OF WHAT YOU KNOW NOW.

“THE DAY I WAS SERVED, 4 MY CHILD, ROC NATION STOPPED ALL COMMUNICATION WITH ME AND ALL MY EMAILS TO JAYZ ASKING FOR HELP WAS WIPED FROM MY INBOX,” she added. “MY WAS BROKEN INTO AND EVERY LAP WAS TAKEN. I WAS TRAPPED IN BROOKLYN ON ORDER SERVED THAT RESTRICTED ME LEAVING BKLYN FOR 15 YEARS.”
Again they vaccinated him even after calling me an anti vaxxer and humiliating my in the press for good 2 years and canceling my latest MATA record from all promo and touring. Again sacrificing another LP yet they still vaccinated him at 12 to get at me.

M.I.A.’s History With Roc Nation
M.I.A. signed with Roc Nation in 2012, however, by 2014 she parted ways with the company. According to XXL, their friction began when Jay-Z urged her to settle a $16m NFL lawsuit for flashing her middle finger during the 2012 Super Bowl half-time show by signing off music earning for the rest of her life.
She has also claimed that her album Matangi failed to make a big impact despite its positive reviews due to Jay Z’s connections with her ex-fiance.
“BE VERY CLEAR WHY MY MATHANGI RECORD WAS BURIED IN 2013,” M.I.A. went on. “I SACRIFICED MY CAREER FOR MY CHILD. THEY RIPPED ME OFF AND COPIED MY STYLE AND GAVE IT TO THEIR PUPPETS AND SHADOW BANNED ME ON EVERY PLATFORM. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT TO SAVE HIM FROM THE MADNESS OF WHAT YOU KNOW NOW. HILLARY CLINTON GAVE SARA BRONFMAN GADDAFIS OIL FEILDS AFTER KILLING HIM. I WAS PUNISHED FOR SAYING HE HELPED AFRICA. THEN THEY TRIED TO SEND MY CHILD TO ONE OF HER SCHOOLS. WHEN I WENT TO VISIT THE SCHOOL, THE CHILDREN LOOKED DOZY AND DRUGGED AND I COULDN’T TELL WHY. I REFUSED.
We hope M.I.A gets everything sorted out with her son.
