M.I.A. Causes Outrage Stateside
The London born singer's in trouble in the States after a controversial contribution to the Super Bowl half-time show....
The TV network NBC's had to apologise after M.I.A appeared to swear and stick her middle finger up at the camera during her performance with Madonna halfway through the massive sporting event.
The rapper and singer - who's real name is Maya Arulpragasam - was on stage performing on Madge's new single Give Me All Your Luvin' when she made the hand gesture and sang "I don't give a shit".
The screen quickly blurred while those behind the scenes attempted to cover it up.
American TV bosses have said sorry and claimed she didn't do it in rehearsals.
The Super Bowl is America's biggest TV event - with around 100 million viewers.
