Unlike Janet Jackson, M.I.A. looks to be out of the doghouse with the NFL after the league went after her life savings for that infamous middle finger during the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show.
The sports struggle M.I.A. has gotten herself into will likely take its toil on her bank account and sanity as the NFL is suing the “Paper Planes” singer for $16.6M–up from $1.5M for her middle finger caught on camera at the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show.

M.I.A. is officially a member of the Roc. The British rapper has signed to Roc Nation Management, according to the company’s website.
M.I.A. amped up the girl power for the remix of her “Bad Girls” single. The British rapper/singer has a reputation for being bad—most recently flipping off the camera at the Super Bowl—and has commissioned the help of fellow outspoken rapper Azealia Banks, for the track.
M.I.A. has taken her talents to the alcohol industry. The lauded British MC has been pretty busy this year, but still found time to design a limited edition bottle for Beck’s Beer. Although she’s not much of a drinker, the 36-year-old jumped at the chance to work with the company.
