I did do a kind of mini dig on her ages ago - I dont know, but it looks like she knows what is going on was her father an intelligence officer? Was she trafficked or saved? Married a Bronfman. Her mum did end up working in for the Royals in the UK - and there was this post (pic 3) on her ex's twitter last year..
Old dig ..
MIA - Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam
May the bridges I burn light the way.
Her father was an architect of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a militant guerrilla group formed in the â70s with the aim of securing political autonomy for the Tamil ethnic group of Sri Lanka.
Her cousin died as a suicide bomber in Sri Lanka
She reveals that Assange played a small part in the creation of âMatangiâ. He ânamed the first song âKarmageddonââ
Album called /\/\/\Y/\
Maya split with Diplo and met Benjamin Bronfman, whose family ran the Seagram Co., and whose father, Edgar Bronfman Jr., had served as CEO of Warner Music Group.
Assange says "Sheâs the worldâs loudest and finest rapping and dancing megaphone for the truth"
She takes up causes ("I think I'll talk about Liberia and stuff") without much thought and picks fights apparently at random: recent targets include Lady Gaga and the Twilight films as well as Facebook and Google, which, according to Maya, were "developed by the CIA".
Her application to renew an expired visa has been stuck in mysterious bureaucratic limbo since 2014. In an age when British popstars with any sort of US fanbase are routinely granted permission to work in America, her two-year hobbling seems unconventional. âObviously whatâs happening to me is very deliberate,â she says. âI donât know whoâs doing it, itâs like fucking playing Cluedo.â
"Fifty percent of the money that the Sri Lankan government makes, it all comes from Victoria's Secret."
âEveryone is fucking you up behind the screens,â she told the NME, âand I donât like that. It makes it difficult for me to interact with my fans knowing that. Google and Facebook were developed by the CIA⌠Governments can shift their search engines so only what they want you to see comes up.â
"It was the 'axis of evil' and blah, blah, blah," she says of her rise to fame in the early 2000s.
âOn paper Iâve supported WikiLeaks and stuff. And now Hillary Clinton is running for president. And until thatâs solved I might have a problem, because anyone who ever associated with that website is going to get fucked up. Even if you delivered [WikiLeaks] their takeaway, you are going to be on a list. Do you know what I mean?â
"It's interesting that in America the problem you're allowed to talk about is Black Lives Matter,
Would BeyoncĂŠ or Kendrick Lamar say Muslim Lives Matter? Or Syrian Lives Matter?â The decision that she wasnât going to perform was reported widely. Oddly, one of the US Embassyâs social media feeds retweeted the news. < PATRIOT RETWEET or warning??
