He’s only three-months-old, but M.I.A.’s infant son Ikhyd is set for life.

(With a name like that, the kid’s going to need all the redeeming qualities he can get.)

The Sri Lankan rapper’s fiance Benjamin Bronfman, 26, is expected to inherit more than $10 billion, which will eventually be passed down to the couple’s son. The fortune was amassed by the Bronfmans’ now defunct Seagram’s company – once the largest distiller of alcoholic beverages in the world.

“She doesn’t really care about money. But it helps,” a snitch tells Us Weekly. “They will do the marriage thing when time permits.”

What’s M.I.A.’s baby’s real name?

Earlier this month, Latina magazine reported that Sri Lankan rap star M.I.A. had named her infant son Ickitt. The new mom vehemently denied the scoop in a acid-tongued blog on Celebrity Myspace. Well, TMZ obtained the newborn’s birth certificate over the weekend, and it appears like the original report wasn’t that far off of reality, after all.

(Drumroll, please)
Introducing Ikhyd Edgar Arular.

So instead of Ick-It, his name is pronounced Ick-Head? Wow, that is a big difference! We recommended boxing lessons the minute this kid turns 5…Lords knows he’s going to need them.

In her first public appearance since her heavily-pregnant performance at the 2009 Grammys, Oscar-nominated Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A. has been booked for the second night of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 18.

The “Paper Plane” hitmaker will replace British star Amy Winehouse, who was forced to drop out of the fest after her application for a U.S. Visa was rejected earlier this month due to legal troubles.

This won’t be M.I.A.’s first Coachella showing. The vet played the fest in 2005 and 2008.

The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival takes place at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif. April 17-19.

M.I.A. did not name her newborn son Ickitt, thank you very much!

In an entry on her official Myspace Blog late Friday, the British-born rapper, whose real name is Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, denied a Latina.com scoop which claimed she’d given her tot the odd moniker.

“My baby is not called Ickitt, Pickit or Lickit thank you very much to all the Hollywood press. Hes a baby, he don’t need press!” the new mom wrote in an all-caps.

(That means she’s yelling at us, in case you didn’t know.)

“I didnt release the baby name because I didnt think it was news!!!!” the “Paper Planes” star continued. “But I will be back with something news worthy soon, till then go pick on Apple, Satchel and Moon Unit.”

The baby, born in Los Angeles on Feb. 11, is the first child for M.I.A. and her musician fiancé, Benjamin Bronfman.

Sri Lankan rap star M.I.A. has selected a name for her newborn son with fiance Benjamin Brewer.

And if you thought Bronx Mowgli was bad…hold on to your hat.

According to Latina Magazine, the boy will be called “Ickitt.” Yes, Latina says, you read right. “The boy’s name is Ickitt.”

The heavily pregnant Oscar-nominated star gave birth to….Ickitt just three days after performing “Swagga Like Us” at the 2009 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles last month.

This poor kid’s gonna need more than “swagga” to pull that name off. Thoughts, anyone?

Awww!! Here’s a photo of M.I.A.’s baby.

On Tuesday, Afrikan Boy, an associate of the Sri Lankan hip-hop artist, posted the first public picture of Baby M.I.A, who was born in Los Angeles last Wednesday.

I just woke up when I recieved this baby picture from Maya of her newborn son… He is handsoommmeee!! I need to teach him how to make pounded yam and get straight As in school like me!!! Love from Maya Ben and I Y H K D! Welcome to the world!

Producers for the 2009 Academy Awards are so eager to get new mom M.I.A. onstage for Sunday night’s ceremony, they’ve offered her the extraordinary opportunity to sing at the Oscars from the comfort of her own bed.

The Sri Lankan rap star gave birth to a baby boy last week.

M.I.A., 31, is expected to perform “O, Saya,” a song, featured in the indie hit Slumdog Millionaire, that earned her a nomination for Best Original Song.

“She’s eager to perform. We’ve said things like, ‘We’re willing to have her enter on a large bed,” producer Laurence Mark has revealed to MSNBC’s The Scoop. “We’ll make it as easy for her as we can.”

Hey guys, hope all the lovers in the house had a great Valentine’s Day filled with chocolates, teddy bears, and if you’re lucky, maybe even a few diamonds.

Now getting on to the gossip…..

M.I.A.’s bun has finally come out of the oven. After going into the early stages of labor following her hot performance at last weekend’s 2009 Grammy Awards, the Oscar-nominated star gave birth to a baby boy in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

On her MySpace Celebrity Blog, the 31-year-old Sri Lankan singer, writes: MY BABY WAS BORN WEDNESDAY, HE IS HEALTHY, FINE, BEAUTIFUL AND THE MOST AMZING THING EVER ON THIS PLANET, OF COURSE IM HIS MUM!!!”

This is the first child for M.I.A. and her fiancé, Benjamin Brewer, lead singer and guitarist of The Exit.

Congrats.

T.I., Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and a very pregnant M.I.A. (Today is her due date!) performed “Swagga Like Us” live at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.

Conscious rapper M.I.A. has launched a fashion line inspired by her album covers.

The Extended Merch collection includes T-shirts, bodysuits and leggings which the singer designed them with model Okley Leslie.

The line features items influenced by her music and features patterns from the covers of albums Kala and Arular.

“I wanted to tie all my work together. When I make an album, I make a number of artworks that go with it, and now I make some clothes that go with it too. So this Okley run was an extension of my Kala album and artwork,” the rap star, who is seven months pregnant, tells The Fadar.

“The line exists to get the message across – whatever the aesthetic is that I’m trying to communicate. The Kala artwork and sound and clothes are all about being worldly, and representing the idea of the whole world being mashed up into one.”
