JAY-Z and Roc Nation Called Out By M.I.A. Over Custody Battle
In a lengthy rant on X, formerly known as Twitter, British rapper M.I.A. took to the platform to publicly outcast JAY-Z and Roc Nation, accusing them of severing contact during the initial stages of her custody battle with ex-husband and businessman Benjamin Bronfman.
“My first custody battle was in 2013. My child was four. I was managed by JAY-Z, who ultimately was paid by Bronfmans,” she revealed. Bronfman’s father, Edgar Bronfman Jr., is the former CEO of Warner Music Group.
The “Paper Planes” star began by stating, “Biden won’t let me see my child. The longest processing is meant to be two months, and it’s already been that,” sharing a screenshot of an email claiming she is ineligible for a U.S. visa.

Adding to her grievances, she said, “They’re basically saying I have to wait for a Republican to come to office because nine months from now is the election.”
M.I.A. then alleged that her 14-year-old son, Ikhyd, is currently staying with individuals convicted of sex trafficking. “I’m not allowed to see my child for stealing food at 18, when I was poor, yet your government is okay with my child being with a family convicted of child trafficking and sex cults. Okay.”
I'M NOT ALLOWED TO SEE MY CHILD FOR STEALING FOOD AT 18, WHEN I WAS POOR,YET UR GOVERMMET IS OK WITH MY CHILD BEING WITH FAMILY CONVICTED FOR CHILD TRAFFICKING AND SEX CULTS OK. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND MIGRANTS COMING IN, IS THAT I CAN'T VOTE. I M PAYING U.S TAXES TOO.SICK

M.I.A. further claimed that her son was vaccinated without her consent, pointing the finger at Canadian fashion designer and activist Aurora James, a friend of Beyoncé and Solange.
“Aurora James vaccinated my child without my permission. They manipulated my child by lying to a 12-year-old, pretending to be his mom. Of course, if it’s not your own child, you don’t care how you can psychologically damage a child with mental games. She’s Beyoncé and Solange’s friend.”
Arora James vaccinated my child without my permission. They manipulated my child by lieing to a 12 year old , pretending to be his mum,of cause if its not your own child you don't care how you can phycologically damage a child with mental games. She Beyonce and solonges friend. https://t.co/19tlitnnwL pic.twitter.com/ZHZL8smv4C

She continued expressing frustration over being labeled an anti-vaxxer and facing public humiliation, stating, “Again, they vaccinated him even after calling me an anti-vaxxer and humiliating me in the press for a good two years and canceling my latest MATA record from all promo and touring. Again sacrificing another LP, yet they still vaccinated him at 12 to get at me.”
I SACRIFICED MY CAREER FOR MY CHILD. THEY RIPPED ME OFF AND COPIED MY STYLE AND GAVE IT TO THEIR PUPPETS AND SHADOW BANNED ME ON EVERY PLATFORM . BUT IT WAS WORTH IT TO SAVE HIM FROM THE MADNESS OF WHAT YOU KNOW NOW.
