Rapper M.I.A.
accuses Beyoncé, Madonna and Rihanna of stealing her sound
British
rapper M.I.A. believes a trio of pop heavyweights are stealing her music.
“I’m fine with Madonna or Beyoncé or Rihanna being
inspired by my work, but I would like them to then go, ‘Yeah, this immigrant
who came out of nowhere influenced us, so maybe not all of them are f--ing
terrible,” she told Q magazine.
She
continued: "They don’t even think like that. They go ‘Yeah, maybe me
stealing the stuff says she’s all right. She should be thankful we’re stealing
it.’ But sometimes you just think, ‘f--k, I have to pay some bills,’ you
know?'”
The
British rapper, born Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, who is mostly
known for her hit "Paper Planes” also suggested Bey had more assistance
than most artists get.

“
Beyonce
comes from the school of Michael Jackson-ness. Where the family built an entire
world to support you, from when you were a child. I never had that
luxury," the singer, whose parents immigrated to England from Sri Lanka,
said.
Fans
on social media immediately slammed the "Bad Girls" performer on
Twitter.
"For
all we know Beyoncé Rihanna and Madonna still think "M.I.A." means
"missing in action," one wrote
Another
added, "M.I.A gone end up MIA if she don't leave Beyoncé name out her
mouth."
The
41-year-old fired back and labeled her critics racist.
“Industry
offended I offended Beyonce, then spent 6 months telling me they can't market
