M.I.A. has taken her feud with Kid Cudi into the courtroom, filing a $2.8 million lawsuit that accuses the rapper of unlawfully firing her from his Rebel Ragers Tour and then painting her as a problem to “save” a struggling run of shows.
According to newly filed legal documents, obtained by Variety, the British star claims she was guaranteed $2.8 million by tour promoter Live Nation - a fee she says was owed to her “regardless of what she said on stage.” Her team argues that Cudi had no contractual right to remove her, alleging he personally instructed Live Nation to cut her from the bill after the opening dates.
