## Resource

M.I.A. is suing Kid Cudi for over $2.8 million, claiming he wrongfully kicked her off his Rebel Rangers Tour after she made onstage comments about being a brown Republican voter — a move she says was designed to boost publicity for a struggling tour. Kid Cudi cited upset fan reactions, but M.I.A.’s team argues her speech was protected artistic expression and that she can’t vote in the U.S., making her remarks misleading. The lawsuit also alleges Kid Cudi breached her contract with Live Nation, costing her lost earnings from ticket sales, merchandise, and VIP packages. Kid Cudi’s camp has yet to comment as the case moves forward. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
