Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A. is fulfilling her promise to bring a free concert to her fans in the Big Apple
In case you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve likely heard that “Paper Planes” hitmaker M.I.A. has taken quite a beating (Figuratively speaking, of course…) since the release of her latest album, M.A.Y.A.

Once raved-about rap star M.I.A. is in the news — again — for the umpteenth time in as many weeks, this time for bailing on an ear-shattering “performance” at rainy Hard Fest NYC on Governor’s Island Saturday.
Spywitnesses who were on-hand for the Sri Lankan lyricist’s odd stage show, which included an incident of spitting on a cameraman, have a hard time belieiving M.I.A.’s assertion that a shotty stage system is too blame for her shotty production.
“All I want to do is watch this video and so will you when you realize M.I.A. has lost her cred and she’s living in Suburbia now.”

Uh-oh. Looks like someone’s getting in touch with their inner Amy Winehouse.
Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A. has blamed technical difficulties for her panned performance during an open-air concert in New York City over the weekend.
However, the “Paper Planes” hitmaker is having a tougher time explaining why she sent a loogie flying onto an unassuming photographer in the audience.

Sounds like The Times can’t take the heat…..On Thursday, The New York Times Magazine posted some lengthy revisions to a controversial article that sparked the ire of British-Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A.
