Nerves, adrenaline caused M.I.A. to flip out, literally!
While British performer M.I.A. continued her silence, Madonna was among the legion of angry observers after Sunday's fiasco during the Super Bowl halftime show that a member of M.I.A.'s team says the rapper blames on "adrenaline" and "nerves" M.I.A., 36, flipped her middle finger and swore into the camera during her rap solo as a record 111.3 million viewers around the world watched the performance. The gesture drew a flood of comment initially, followed by conflicting apologies from the National Football League and NBC, which presented the halftime musical event live and was late censoring the obscene gesture.
“She wasn't thinking,” a member of M.I.A.’s team who requested anonymity but, according to The Mail in London, was with the artist at Lucas Oil Stadium told the newspaper. “It wasn't any kind of statement.“She was caught in the moment, and she's incredibly sorry.”But it may be a costly mistake; TMZ cited sources as saying M.I.A. could end up paying any fines imposed by the FCC in the wake of the drama because, The Mail reported, she is said to have signed a contract with the NFL in which she agreed to indemnify the league for any money it might be forced to pay if the FCC comes down on NBC. According to Reuters and other news agencies, Madonna is livid about the situation. Her set included a cast and choreography worthy of a Hollywood musical."Madonna wasn't impressed," a source told Britain's The Sun. "She prides herself on professionalism. M.I.A. did nothing similar in rehearsals. Nobody knew she was going to pull this stunt."Madonna wanted to put on a world-beating performance. But everyone ended up talking about this girl's middle finger, and with a tour ahead, Madonna finds herself playing second fiddle to a lesser-known performer who generated negative publicity.M.I.A.'s publicists at Interscope have not commented, but the member of M.I.A.'s camp claimed to The Mail that the rapper was struck with “a case of adrenaline and nerves.”With one foot up on the podium, the Sri Lanka-born singer rapped: “I don't give a (expletive)” and made the gesture during a live performance of Madonna's “Give Me All Your Luvin” with Nicki Minaj. Broadcasters, caught by surprise, scrambled to obscure the gesture, briefly blurring the screen in a late attempt to cut out the camera shot. The Mail noted that Madonna, at that point lying on her back behind M.I.A., appeared blissfully unaware of the move.The NFL, which produces the show, and NBC both apologized immediately—but blamed each other.“There was a failure in NBC's delay system,” the NFL’s Brian McCarthy said.“The NFL hired the talent and produced the half-time show,” the Mail quoted an NBC spokesman as saying. “Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers.”M.I.A., whose real name is Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, is best known for her Grammy-nominated song “Paper Planes,” which was featured in the movie Slum dog Millionaire.
I TRULY DON'T THINK THAT MIA DID THAT GESTURE ON PURPOSE AT ALL, AND I DO BELIEVE THAT ADRENALINE AND NERVES PLAYED A BIG PART. I MEAN IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO NOT JUST PERFORM WITH A LEGENDARY SINGER WHOM YOU GREW UP LISTENING TO , NOW YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A DUET WITH THEM. PLUS PERFORM A SONG WITH A LEGEND, AND NICKI MINAJ ON THE BIGGEST NITE IN THE WORLD THAT OPPORTUNITY DOESN'T COME TO ALOT OF ARTIST (THEY ONLY WISH THEY COULD PERFORM AT THE SUPERBOWL). THEN THIS PERFORMANCE IS BEING SHOWN ON THE BIGGEST NETWORK, DURING THE BIGGEST OCCASION IN THE WORLD, THAT IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY, BEING WATCHED BY APPROX 166.8 MILLION VIEWERS (100MILLION VIEWERS IN KOREA ALONE TUNED IN) & 23 MILLION RADIO LISTENERS WHICH MADE IT: Super Bowl XLVI was the most-watched television event in American history. AND YOU DON'T WANNA MESS UP BECAUSE IT IS BEING BROADCAST LIVE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE. SO I CAN DEFINITELY SEE HOW MIA BECAME LITTLE FRANTIC & NERVOUS, BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THEY WILL JUST BE FINING MIA. BECAUSE NBC IS ALSO AT FOUGHT FOR BLANKING OUT MIA'S GESTURE, TO DAM LATE. BUT CUT HER SOME SLACK, IT WASN'T DONE INTENTIONALLY AND I'M QUITE SURE NICKI MINAJ WAS JUST AS NERVOUS, BUT NOBODIES PERFECT. BUT THE HALFTIME SHOW STILL WENT OFF WITHOUT ANY GLITCHES TO ME, I MEAN WATCHING THIS 53YR OLD WOMAN WERK IT BETTER THAN THESE YOUNG INS, SEEING ALL THE AMAZING TRICKS & TALENTS THAT ALL OF MADONNA'S DANCERS & ACROBATS DID (I WONDER DID MADONNA BOO DANCE BACKGROUND FOR HER THAT NITE? I'M QUITE SURE HE DID. I SWEAR I'M JEALOUS CAUSE THIS KID IS LIVING THE LIFE, ITS ALMOST LIKE BEING ADOPTED BY A RICH WOMAN BUT JUST GETTING FONDED ON EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE LOL) SEEING LMFAO (I LUVE WATCHING THEM DANCE THEIR SO SILLY), OF COURSE FAVE PART WAS NICKI MINAJ, THEN HEARING CEE-LO GREEN KILL IT, AND MOST OF ALL I MUST ADMIT THAT I DIDN'T EXPECT TO REALLY LIKE EVERY SINGLE NEW SONG THAT MADONNA PERFORMED. GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE THAT PERFORMED, EVEN MIA.
FIRST TIME WATCHING THIS (I WAS SO BUSY WORKING, TRYING TO MAKE THAT BREAD WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE WAS WATCHING) I'M SO NOT INTO SPORTS & SO DAM GURLIE THAT I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO PLAYED IN THE SUPERBOWL, NOR WHO WON. ALL I CARED ABOUT WAS THE HALFTIME SHOW WHEN I HEARD NICKI MINAJ AND MADONNA WAS PERFORMING. P.S. THIS HALFTIME SHOW WAS LIKE 1 OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES AT THE SUPERBOWL SINCE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE POPPED OUT JANET JACKSON'S TITTY. AND I WAS REALLY WORRIED THAT ONLY NICKI MINAJ WAS GONNA BE THA ONLY GOOD PART IN THE PERFORMANCE, CAUSE WHEN I HEARD ABOUT MADONNA PERFORMING I DID THINK: OK MADONNA AIN'T PERFORMED IN SO LONG, SHE'S WAY OLDER NOW SO WILL SHE BE STIFF? SHE HASN'T REALLY HAD A HIT SONG OUT THAT I KNEW ABOUT SO I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST GONNA PERFORM ALL HER OLDIE BUT GOODIES. AND MADONNA FANS PLEASE DON'T KILL ME: OF COURSE I GREW UP LISTENING TO MADONNA, BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE FOR TO MUCH OF HER MUSIC, EXCEPT FOR "VOGUE" AND THAT SONG WITH HER AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HER AND NICKI WOULD PERFORM. BUT I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO THE LEGENDARY MADONNA; SHE KILLED THAT SHITZ. HERE'S SOME FACTS ABOUT MADONNA: SHES 53 YRS OLD (AND SHES A LEO JUST LIKE ME), SHE DANCED THE WHOLE 12MIN OF THE SHOW (I'M QUITE SURE NICKI MINAJ OR MIA COULDN'T DO THAT), SHE SIN GREAT SHAPE (BESIDES THAT FACE LIFT THAT CAUSES HER NOT TO MOVE HER NECK PROPERLY,SHES FLEXIBLE AND DANCED IN HIGH HEEL BOOTS. NOW THAT'S A BAD BEOTCH, OH YEA SHES DATING A 24YR OLD LITTLE BOY(THAT LOOKS LIKE HE SHOULD DATE HER DAUGHTER LOURDES WHOM IS 14, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MADONNA IS KISSING A LITTLE BOY, OH SNAP! HE IS LITTLE AZZ BOY)THIS GUY NAME IS Brahim Zaibat. AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A COUGAR CAUSE MADONNA STILL LOOKS GOOD AND VERY HOT & SEXY, AND ALL THAT FLEXIBILITY FROM TAKING YOGA CLASSES FOR THE LAST 52YRS OF HER LIFE, SHE GOT IT GOING ON. BUT AT LEAST DATE A GUY THAT'S MAYBE 34 & UP, DON'T GO BELOW 30 CAUSE THAT AIN'T BEING A COUGAR NO MORE, THAT'S BEING PEDOPHILISH. GROSS! CHECKOUT MADONNA & HER NEW BOY TOY Brahim Zaibat, DOWN BELOW:
Excepts from Madonna's interview on Nightline tonight:
“I didn’t choose to, you know, I didn’t, like, write down on a piece of paper I’m now going to have a relationship with a younger man,”Madonna told McFadden.“That’s just what happened. You see, that’s the romantic in me. I just met someone that I cared for, and this happened to be his age.”
As for her current relationship with Zaibat, Madonna claimed she is actually the low-maintenance “easy” one between the two of them.
“I go home and I wash my face and I put on my sweatpants and I lay down on the bed and I say, ‘oh, please rub my feet,’ and you know, he says, ‘no, you rub my feet,’”Madonna said.“So, you know, behind the curtain, I’m just like everybody else.”
Notoriously private Madonna opened up about dating a man less than half her age in a rare interview — but not without a putting up a fight.
“Aren’t people tired of that subject?”she quipped to “Nightline” anchor Cynthia McFadden in an exclusive with ABC News.
Of course not.
It’s been three years since Madonna’s highly publicized divorce from British director Guy Richie, and the 53-year-old star has caught flack for dating younger men. Her current flame is 24-year-old French dancer Brahim Zaibat, but prior to that she dated Brazilian model Jesus Luz, now also 24.
“I didn’t choose to, you know, I didn’t, like, write down on a piece of paper I’m now going to have a relationship with a younger man,” Madonna told McFadden. “That’s just what happened. You see, that’s the romantic in me. I just met someone that I cared for, and this happened to be his age.”
But when asked what she found appealing about younger man, the Material Girl tried to shut down the line of questioning with, “I don’t feel comfortable with this conversation.”McFadden pressed Madonna about her own experience with love, a central theme to the pop icon’s upcoming film, “W.E.,” which explores the relationship between commoner Wallis Simpson and Britain’s King Edward VIII.
Madonna revealed she wants a partner in life and that there were even “certain things” she missed about being married, such as “being a part of a family unit” and “not having to make all the decisions on my own.”
“I don’t want to live my life on my own,”she said.“I love being a mother. My children fill me up in many ways, and inspire me in many ways, but I need a partner in my life and I think most people feel that way. I’ve never really lived a conventional life, so I think it’s quite foolish for me or anyone else to start thinking that I am going to start making conventional choices.”
Putting family first, one of the most important things Madonna said she looks for in a partner is someone whom her two biological children, Lourdes, 15, and Rocco, 11, and her two adopted children, David Banda and Mercy James, both 6, will respect.
“Someone who feels a connection with my children and respects the idea that they have to be a role model as well,” Madonna said. “It’s a lot to live up to.”
As for her current relationship with Zaibat, Madonna claimed she is actually the low-maintenance “easy” one between the two of them.
“I go home and I wash my face and I put on my sweatpants and I lay down on the bed and I say, ‘oh, please rub my feet,’and you know,he says, ‘no, you rub my feet,’”Madonna said. “So, you know, behind the curtain, I’m just like everybody else.”
THIS LITTLE BOY DOING THE RIGHT THING BY DATING MADONNA. CAUSE IF THAT PERSON WANNABE YOUR SUGADADDY OR SUGAMAMA, THEN YOU BETTER TAKE WHATEVER THEY GIVE YOU. CAUSE IF THEY DUMB ENOUGH TO DO IT, THEN BE SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE IT. AND YALL ALL KNOW THIS LITTLE BOY IS BROKE, BECAUSE HE IS A BABY, AND EVEN IF MADONNA DATED ANY REGULAR MEN HER AGE OR OLDER THAT THEY GONNA BE BROKE AS WELL. CAUSE EVEN MOST PEOPLE IN HER INDUSTRY WILL NEVER MAKE NEAR THA AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT MADONNA HAS. PLUS DANCING ISN'T A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS, AND MADONNA FOOTING THE BILL FOR EVERYTHING, AND ALL THAT LITTLE BOY GOTTA DO IS: TELL HER WHAT SHE WANNA HEAR, TREAT HER GOOD, ACT AS IF HE LIKE HER & HE WILL GET WHATEVER $ HE WONT FORM HER, BE NICE & ACT LIKE HE CARE ABOUT HER KIDS, AND MOST OF ALL BREAK HER OLD AZZ BACK IN 2 PIECES WITH ALL THAT YOUNG ADRENALINE DICK, AND HE'LL BE SET FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE (I WONDER WHAT HE MOM THINK BOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP? I BET HES LIKE AS LONG AS HE KEEP PAYING ALL MY BILLS WITH THAT OLD BEOTCH & I DON'T GIVE A DAM LOLZ). ANY WHO, THAT'S MY MOTTO WHEN IT COMES TO RELATIONSHIPS. Y.O.L.O!
