M.I.A. Says, "Stick It!"

March 6, 2009 by WendyB

I’ve always liked rapper M.I.A. and now I like her more.

M.I.A. at the Grammys last month, days before giving birth

It’s been all over the interwebs that she named her baby boy, born February 11, “Ickitt.” Naturally, this created an opportunity for every Tom, Dick and Erie Lackawanna to drone on about terrible celebrity baby names. But M.I.A. posted this amusing message on her MySpace blog, in Kanye West-style capital letters:

“MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL THE HOLLYWOOD PRESS. HES A BABY , HE DONT NEED PRESS!

I DIDNT RELEASE THE BABY NAME BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK IT WAS NEWS!!!!

BUT I WILL BE BACK WITH SOMETHING NEWS WORTHY SOON , TILL THEN GO PICK ON APPLE, SATCHEL AND MOON UNIT.

LOTS OF LOVE STICKIT!!”

Speaking of names, gorgeous blogger Lisa, remembering my recent complaint about a dearth of Wendy tributes, sent me a link to a story that introduced me to the World Wide Wendy. But I think I like the Fred Society even better. Do you think the Freds would accept an honorary member?

    Oooh, but what will be the baby name? I hope the press harrasses her until all our curiosity is appeased…which of course it never will be.

    I love M.I.A. even though her baby boy has a strange name. I still love her for that ironically.

    I’ve always loved M.I.A’s edgy style and unapologetic bluntness. And i think i love her even more after this statement.

    She’s pure awesome. I only wish her due date would have been later so I could have seen what she would have said/looked like/performed at the Oscars.
