She added that “big American artists” had taken ideas from the record ahead of its release. See her tweets below.

Earlier this year, M.I.A. tweeted that she was handing her “last LP” to her American label. She added that the record would be out in “July. Summertime.” In recent months, she’s shared “Rewear It,” as a part of an H&M campaign, “MIA OLA,” “Foreign Friend,” and “Temple,” a collaboration with Baauer and BIGBANG frontman G-Dragon. She recently previewed a new song saying she wanted to leak the album. Her latest track, “POC THAT STILL A RYDA,” was recently removed from YouTube by UMG.
