Oh M.I.A., M.I.A. how many times are you going to open your big mouth to slash people you are jealous of?
So because Oprah praised Lady Gaga at the Met Ball in New York, you think it is necessary to say mean things about her in an interview with Time Out magazine:
‘She [Oprah] was with Iman [Bowie]. Iman was always dancing with me, hugging and kissing me, but Oprah seemed really pissed off with me. Also she made this huge speech at the ball praising Lady Gaga and about how she [Lady Gaga] is helping Americans to be the best of themselves. There’s millions of other Americans who represent that for me. Is [it] about numbers? About how much you’re selling? Is it truly about the journey? Because [Lady Gaga’s] journey isn’t that difficult: to go from the fucking Upper East Side to a fucking performing arts school and on to a stage at the museum of fucking wherever. That journey’s about four miles.’
nd it is not the first time you attack her, since you declared to NME:
‘[T]here’s Lady Gaga — people say we’re similar, that we both mix all these things in the pot and spit them out differently, but she spits it out exactly the same! None of her music’s reflective of how weird she wants to be or thinks she is. She models herself on Grace Jones and Madonna, but the music sounds like 20-year-old Ibiza music, you know? She’s not progressive, but she’s a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I f—ing do!
That’s a talent and she’s got a great team behind her, but she’s the industry’s last stab at making itself important, saying, ‘You need our money behind you, the endorsements, the stadiums,’ Respect to her, she’s keeping a hundred thousand people in work.’
That’s so condescending!
You also said this:
‘All I’ll say is, it’s upsetting when babies say ‘ga-ga’ now,”It used to be innocent. Now, they’re calling her name.
That’s so stupid! I’m sorry this is plain stupid and such a weak attack!
M.I.A., you get annoyed when Lady Gaga is praised for her originality, you think she mostly borrows from ABBA, and you cannot stand her to be compared to Madonna, because according to you ‘Madonna was truly unique’, does it mean you have set limits? Don’t you have any venom for Madonna?
Everybody borrows from someone anyway, and Madonna did a Saturday Night Live show with Lady Gaga, something you’ll never do, so M.I.A., may be you are just a jealous teenager.
