Shakin’ The Hive: M.I.A Fires Shots At Beyoncé For “Stealing” From Her And Shades Her Upbringing

M.I.A. Suggests Rihanna, order Madonna And Beyoncé Took Her Sound Without Acknowledging Her Influence

Guess British/Sri Lankan singer M.I.A didn’t learn the first time she came for Beyonce… The singer recently did an interview with Q Magazine where she revisited her beef with American pop singers, viagra including Queen Bey.

Here are the quotes via Attitude UK:

“I’m fine with Madonna or Beyoncé or Rihanna being ‘inspired’ by my work”, she told the publication. “But I would like them to then go, ‘Yeah, this immigrant who came out of nowhere influenced us, so maybe not all of them are f**king terrible.”

The 41-year-old continued: “They don’t even think like that. They go ‘Yeah, maybe me stealing the stuff says she’s all right. She should be thankful we’re stealing it’.

“But sometimes you just think, ‘F**k, I have to pay some bills,’ you know?’”

British-born M.I.A, who grew up in Sri Lanka, went on to suggest that Beyoncé’s route to international stardom was easy, adding: “Beyoncé comes from the school of Michael Jackson-ness. Where the family built an entire world to support you. From when you were a child. I never had that luxury.”
