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 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.

2 days agoon
May 17, 2024On Friday, May 17, CNN obtained footage showing Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs physically assaulting his former girlfriend and Bad Boy artist, Cassie, at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
The surveillance footage, dating back to 2016, shows Diddy chasing Ventura, who was seen standing at a set of elevators, and proceed to grab and shove her to the ground. He then kicks her, and takes what appears to be her purse and suitcase from the floor. Diddy then drags her by her sweater towards a room. Ventura is later seen slowly getting up and collecting items from the floor.

Diddy returns moments later, sits on a chair, grabs an object off a table, and throws it at Ventura. He is then seen walking away, but turns back toward Ventura when an elevator door opens and someone exits.
Ventura’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, told CNN: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”
In November, Cassie, born Cassandra Ventura, initiated legal proceedings against Diddy, born Sean Combs, alleging years of control, rape, and prolonged physical abuse spanning over a decade. The two parties reached a settlement 24 hours later.

Akademiks, born Livingston Allen, has been sued for sexual assault, rape, and defamation.
The civil suit, filed by his ex-girlfriend Ziya Abashe in Essex County, NJ, on Monday, accuses Akademiks of rape and defamation. According to her attorney Tyrone Blackburn, the suit states that in July 2022, Akademiks invited Abashe to his house, where two of his male friends allegedly drugged her, got her drunk, and raped her.
The lawsuit further alleges that Abashe woke up naked in what she believed to be Mr. Allen’s bedroom around 4 a.m., where she was savagely attacked by Mr. Allen, who allegedly pulled her hair, pried open her legs, and brutally raped her.
Abashe claims to have seen video footage of the incident from surveillance cameras at the property. She also stated that Akademiks asked her to get tested afterward, saying he would do the same. The survivor reported taking a rape kit and making an audio recording of Akademiks discussing the act, as directed by the police.
“I look crazy right now but I’m not going to stand here and let this man continue to lie about me. That’s not what happened Akademiks, you know that’s not what happened,” she said during an Instagram Live in 2023.
Rolling Stone, who first reported the lawsuit, reached out to Akademiks who has not responded for comment.
