M.I.A Praises Madonna and Trash Talks Lady GaGa

M.I.A is at it again! After lashing out at Lady GaGa in an interview with New Musical Express, the "Paper Planes" star talks about the queen and princess of pop in a recent interview with the New York Times, and while she has nothing but good things to say about Madonna, the Sri Lankan rapper has no kind words to spare for Gagita.

In a recent interview with U.K. based weekly magazine New Musical Express, also published on PerezHilton.com, M.I.A. had some pretty nasty things to say about the "Paparazzi" songstress: "Are they even interested in making money from music anymore? Lady Gaga plugs 15 things in her new video. Dude, she even plugs a burger! That's probably how they're making money right now - buying up the burger joint, putting the burger in a music video and making loads of burger money," M.I.A. said in a bold statement.

And now the controversial rapper is at it again! In an interview published in the New York Times Wednesday, M.I.A lashes out at Lady GaGa: "With our video, we were really copying "Telephone." Both our videos are road movies. We kill people, and they kill people. They start out in a prison, and we start out in a squat, hunting people down. I can't talk about GaGa anymore. All I'll say this, it's upsetting when babies say ga-ga now. It used to be innocent. Now, they're calling her name. You can't really say that GaGa is culturally a change. Madonna was truly unique."

Not nice but not as bad as last time! But if the 'controversial chic' singer has nothing good to say about Gagita, she sure admires the queen of pop, Madonna: "Madonna is the one. Madonna did amazing songs. She had an amazing sense of style, without a stylist. And she was flawed, and sometimes she admitted it. I'll fight the fight for Madonna. I think she should send me some chocolates or something to thank me," she told The New York Times. Strong words! What do you think about M.I.A's latest lash-out at Lady GaGa? Jealousy or honesty? Drop us a line.
