Rapper M.I.A. Gives Birth While Kate Moss Denies Allegations
After her much talked about performance at the Grammy’s, it’s no surprise that rapper M.I.A. went into labor not long after. The British born rapper used her MySpace page to write about her baby’s birth. The father is her fiancé Benjamin Bronfman, a musician. A quote taken from her blog says that the newborn is “healthy, fine, beautiful.” So far the baby’s name has not been released.
In her Grammy performance she worked with rappers Kanye West, T.I., Lil Wayne and Jay –Z. She says that it was hours after this that she started going into labor. Her single Paper Planes was nominated for Record of the Year at the event. She may not have taken home the award but she has been blessed with one of the most rewarding experiences of all.
M.I.A. was born Mathangi Arulpragasam to a Sri Lankan family. The family moved back to Sri Lanka when she was six months old. Because of her father’s political beliefs, she had little contact with him growing up as he was being sought by the Sri Lankan army. The family moved a few times before eventually going back to the UK. Before becoming a rapper she made a name for herself as a visual artist. Actor Jude Law is among the names who have bought her work.
While M.I.A. is busy getting used to being a mom, model Kate Moss is busy fighting speculation that she is pregnant. She was quoted in an issue of New York Magazine as saying, “It’s so awful, even my friends are phoning me up and saying, ‘Are you pregnant?’ And I’m like, ‘No! I just put on a couple of pounds, and they went in the right place.’ Isn’t that weird?”
Moss, who is already mom to six year old Lila Grace from a previous relationship, is currently seeing rocker Jamie Hince. According to reports, the supermodel has been pictured with a bulging tummy. At any rate, her denials have so far not stopped the tabloids from speculating on the issue.
Kate Moss is one of the most successful models in the world. At one point Forbes magazine placed her at number two among top earners in the industry. In 2005 she was forced to issue an apology after photos surfaced which seemed to show her using drugs. By all reports however, it look like she has gotten her life and career back on track. This is particularly important if she is indeed pregnant.
Congratulations to M.I.A. and Benjamin Bronfman on the birth of their first child. We can also hope that Kate Moss tries to maintain a healthy lifestyle especially if the pregnancy rumors turn out to be true. Best of luck to both couples.
