As some of you may recall, a number of year's ago M.I.A. (the rapper, not the punk band) became a punk/indie darling when she released "Paper Planes," which famously sampled The Clash. Since then, things have been a little bumpy- two years ago, M.I.A. endorsed Trump, which a lot of fans did not like. Recently, M.I.A. started a tour with Kid Cudi. However, on Monday, she was removed from the tour.Kid Cudi stated: ""TOUR UPDATE: M.I.A is no longer on this tour. I told my management to send a notice to her team before we started tour that I didn't want anything offensive at my shows, cuz I already knew what time it was, and I was assured things were understood. After the last couple shows, I've been flooded with messages from fans that were upset by her rants. This, to me, is very disappointing and I wont have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase. Thank you for understanding. – Rager"You can see one of M.I.A.'s recent on-stage speeches below.

As you likely know, former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert was recently charged with attempted murder. Ebert allegedly tried to run over the father of Turnstile singer Brendan Yates with his car. The DA has upgraded charges from second degree murder (attempting to kill someone without malice aforethought) to first degree murder (attempting to kill someone with malice aforethought). This means, where Ebert was facing a possible 30 year sentence, he is now facing possible life in prison. Ebert has not entered a plea to the new charges. We'll keep you updated.
