M.I.A. dropped a bombshell about her time with Roc Nation.
- She claims JAY-Z suggested she undergo plastic surgery.
- Her relationship with Roc Nation was not without drama.
- M.I.A. also spoke on political issues affecting her personal life.
- Her past criticisms include notable figures and controversial topics.
M.I.A. recently shared an unexpected piece of advice she received from JAY-Z when she signed with Roc Nation in 2012: she claimed he told her to get plastic surgery. This revelation came during a lengthy online monologue that also criticized several other figures.
The singer-songwriter was with Roc Nation until early 2014, during which time she alleges she was advised by JAY-Z to consider cosmetic enhancements. This isn’t the first time M.I.A. has publicly spoken out against JAY-Z and the label.
Earlier in the year, M.I.A. took to social media to express her frustration with being unable to see her child, mentioning high-profile political figures and her visa complications due to her activism. She aired grievances directed at Joe Biden, linking her troubles to her support for Julian Assange.
M.I.A. complained about her inability to see her son, Ikhyd, who was reportedly staying with individuals convicted of serious crimes. Her exasperation extended to her being blocked from obtaining a U.S. visa, which she attributed to her outspoken views.
She remarked that due to her political stance—specifically her objections to genocide and ethnic cleansing—this had possibly influenced her immigration issues. According to her, these restrictions forced her to choose between family and activism.
M.I.A.’s revelations add a layer of complexity to her already colorful public persona.
