M.I.A. Pregnant and Performing at the Grammys
The genre-defying Indie-pop artist, M.I.A., performed at this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony at 9 months pregnant. Sources revealed that M.I.A. was visibly pregnant although she tried to camouflage the bump. More interesting is the fact that the night when she was performing in the show, happened to be the projected time for pregnant M.I.A. to give birth to her baby.
M.I.A., originally named Mathangi Arulpragasm, shot to fame with her unique musical compositions quite a few years ago. Her song, “Paper planes”, was extensively used in the trailer of the film, Pineapple Express, although, to the disappointment of many, the song was not part of the movie. The same song was used again in this year’s chartbuster from Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire.
M.I.A.’s performance at the Grammy show at the final moment of her pregnant state has set all tongues wagging. The Sri Lankan/ Indian-rooted artist had already created ripples of sensation in the music and entertainment world with her song in Slumdog Millionaire. Her performance at the Grammy, no doubt, has added condiments to it. While many have lauded M.I.A.’s commitment to work that she performed in her pregnant state, several others have labeled this act as a cheap gimmick.
