M.I.A. is suing Kid Cudi for $2.8 million after being removed from his 33-date 'Rebel Ragers' tour earlier this month. ⁠ ⁠ The complaint, filed May 29 in California federal court, alleges Cudi breached her contract, which purportedly guaranteed her full creative control over her set, by terminating her following politically charged comments at a May 2 show in Dallas. At the show, M.I.A. called herself a Republican and said that she couldn't perform her song "Illygal," because "some of you could be in the audience." The remark drew boos from the crowd. ⁠ Her lawsuit argues Cudi was well aware of her reputation as a politically outspoken artist before hiring her and claims her removal was less about fan outrage and more about generating press for a tour struggling with ticket sales. Beyond the $2.8 million guarantee she lost, M.I.A. says the fallout cost her a nearly $300,000 private booking, a planned LA merch pop-up, and a potential sync licensing deal. She also says that she and her son received death threats following the removal. M.I.A. is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, legal fees, and a jury trial.⁠ ⁠ Cudi, for his part, cited messages from fans upset by her "offensive remarks" as the reason for her dismissal—a characterization M.I.A.'s filing calls "riddled with falsehoods." _ #pigeonsandplanes #mia #kidcudi #rebelragers #paperplanes
