Read the interview.
"...I just find it a bit upsetting and kind of insulting that I can't have any ideas on my own because I'm a female or that people from undeveloped countries can't have ideas of their own unless it's backed up by someone who's blond-haired and blue-eyed."
She's basically frustrated that everyone's talking about Diplo as having a huge part in making her first album, which M.I.A. denies or something.
I'm pretty sure they had a relationship before...

^ that was a response to jasontroj.
ross, I'm going to steal one of your posters next time I see it.
Or I could come to your show...

They did.
And I read the interview, I just think she owes him a ton of credit for her success.

You're probably right, but I'm guessing she's frustrated with people thinking that she can't make her own stuff. She also mentions that there were lots of other people and music that influenced her at the same time.
I don't know...I suppose I wouldn't hold it against her.

(Aug 23 07, 07:18)They were dating.. as far as I know they still are..
- Jaline0
In some interviews I read they aren't dating anymore but "it's complicated" or they have to work some stuff out or something. I wouldn't be surprised though, since he contributed to her new album as well.

If she want's to be known for making her own music she shouldn't have relied on Timbaland and Switch to make 99% of this album.

come on now...

Tyo, though I don't know your age, I don't think you should blame your feelings on that. Just a little surprised how much emotion this evokes for you.

(Aug 23 07, 07:05)Sorry if it didn't seem like it but I actually made that comment in a light-hearted manner. I just don't get how this style is appealing to anyone ... therefore, I'm kind of joking when I chalk it up to my age.
