AIM<\/a> and M.I.A.<\/a><\/a> are forever mated in palindrome, but the news site is reporting that Her Highness of Baile Funk has been denied entry into the U.S. (thanks, tipster<\/a>). Visa officials aren’t hip to terror chic<\/a> by either Modi<\/a> or Maya. \n\n\n\n

London rapper M.I.A. has been denied a visa to visit or work in the USA by immigration officials… Sources close to the British Sri-Lankan MC said that her lawyers are frantically trying to resolve the situation… She is hoping to get back to the USA as soon as US immigration will allow for a collaboration with producer Timbaland on her next album. [Link<\/a>] \n

… Arulpragasam doesn’t downplay her Tiger connection, she flaunts it, it’s integral to her marketing. She did a mix album using unauthorized samples called Piracy Funds Terrorism.<\/em> Her song ‘Sunshowers’ refers to suicide bombs (‘And some showers I’ll be aiming at you’), her first album bears her dad’s [LTTE] codename. Jungle guerrillas are all over the ‘Sunshowers’ video, there’s a large running tiger in her excellent concert visuals, she does a soldier step on stage and a shoutout to the P.L.O. [Link<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n

<<\/p>\n\n

p>Arulpragasam’s blog<\/a> is littered with misspellings, but her interview video<\/a> clips<\/a> have that sexayy, husky voice, a confidence which shows up on screen but not always on stage<\/a>. Does your starcrush<\/a> survive? Roll again.<\/p>\n\n

The last time U.S. immigration turned back a pop star<\/a>, they nailed international archvillain Cat Stevens<\/a>. I sleep so much better at night knowing they foiled the plot to threaten America with music from the ’70s. Playing ‘Where’s Osama?’ pales in comparison.<\/p>\n\n
