Swerve: M.I.A Will Still Perform At Afropunk Festival After #BlackLivesMatter Drama

M.I.A hit headlines this week after dropping out of the Afropunk Festival in London.

The rapper had come under fire from supporters of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, which she scathingly criticized in an interview.

Clearly feeling the pressure from their draggings and synonymous calls for her to be axed from the line-up, the 38-year-old announced her departure from the Sept 24th extravaganza.

Yet, in an interesting move, organisers have asserted that she will be performing. They have also issued a statement addressing the controversy surrounding her comments.

Hmm.
