In a shocking revelation, British-Sri Lankan artist M.I.A. has accused Jay-Z and Beyoncé of playing a key role in sabotaging her career and personal life. The outspoken rapper and activist, best known for hits like Paper Planes, recently detailed her turbulent experience with Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s management company, claiming it led to her being blacklisted, silenced, and even pressured into industry rituals.

M.I.A. revealed that upon signing with Roc Nation in 2012, Jay-Z allegedly told her to get plastic surgery. According to her, the music mogul and the industry as a whole pressured artists into conforming to a specific image, and her refusal to comply made her an outlier. She claims this was only the beginning of a series of exploitative demands.

Her departure from Roc Nation in 2013 wasn’t just about disagreements over looks—it was a battle over creative control. M.I.A. stated that her album Matangi was delayed multiple times because Roc Nation wanted a darker, more rebellious tone, contrasting with her original vision of positivity. She was allegedly told, “We just built you up as Public Enemy Number One, and now you’re coming out with all this positive stuff?”

The friction escalated when Roc Nation pulled a trailer for a documentary showcasing the making of her album. M.I.A. made her exit public by announcing on social media that she was leaving the label, citing fundamental differences.

One of the most infamous moments in M.I.A.’s career was her 2012 Super Bowl performance alongside Madonna and Nicki Minaj, during which she flipped the middle finger on live television. The gesture led to a lawsuit from the NFL, initially demanding $1.5 million, which later escalated to a staggering $16.6 million.

M.I.A. claims that Jay-Z, instead of supporting her, pressured her to sign a settlement deal that would have given the NFL 100% of her earnings beyond $2 million for life. She refused and fought the case, calling out the hypocrisy of the NFL for punishing her while underage cheerleaders performed provocative routines during the same broadcast.

Despite being part of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, M.I.A. claims that no one from the label came to her defense. Instead, she alleges that Jay-Z was actively working behind the scenes to push the NFL deal on her, reinforcing the industry’s exploitation of artists. She has criticized him for publicly advocating for social justice while allegedly contributing to the oppression of artists behind closed doors.

M.I.A. has long been critical of mainstream celebrity activism, accusing figures like Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar of selectively highlighting causes while ignoring others. She questioned why American pop culture focuses heavily on movements like Black Lives Matter while failing to address global humanitarian crises, such as the plight of refugees and the ongoing crisis in Syria.

In an interview, she remarked, “Is Beyoncé or Kendrick Lamar going to say ‘Muslim Lives Matter’ or ‘Syrian Lives Matter’? Why are some struggles prioritized while others are ignored?” Her criticism sparked debates about the responsibility of high-profile artists in shaping global narratives.

M.I.A. also revealed the personal toll of her conflict with Jay-Z, alleging that he collaborated with her ex-partner’s family to make her life unbearable and prevent her from seeing her child. She shared that her ongoing visa issues have kept her from visiting her son in the U.S. and believes her political activism has played a role in the delays.

She further claimed that Jay-Z and his connections were linked to the NXIVM cult, an organization notorious for its criminal activities, and that her former management team was complicit in making her life difficult.

One of M.I.A.’s most shocking claims involves allegations of being pressured to participate in satanic rituals. She stated that the music industry operates with hidden agendas, using so-called “blood rituals” to control and influence artists. According to her, refusing to take part in these rituals contributed to her being sidelined in the industry.

Her allegations align with long-standing conspiracy theories about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s alleged involvement in occult practices. These rumors have been fueled by figures like Larry Johnson, a former friend of Jay-Z, who has publicly stated that Jay-Z’s success is tied to deeper, hidden influences.
