British rapper M.I.A. has blasted Jay-Z in a recent video, claiming he told her to “get surgery” when she first signed to his music label, Roc Nation.
“Even when I met Jay-Z and I signed to Roc Nation, the first thing he told me to do is get plastic surgery,” the Paper Planes singer, born Mathangi ‘Maya’ Arulpragasam, said in a recent video obtained by Livebitez.
“So their argument of, ‘Maya’s f**king insecure, that’s why she needs to f**king massage her ego,’ fails. It fails. Fails because you turn around and ask, What women do you know who hasn’t had plastic surgery around him (Jay-Z)?
“All of them have. I’m the only one who didn’t, which already proves the fact it’s not insecurity.”
M.I.A. said if she was insecure she “would’ve done that 100 times over”.
The UK rapper joined Roc Nation management in May 2012 ahead of the release of her fourth album, Matangi.
However, in December 2013, she announced she was leaving the label after they pulled a trailer for a documentary about the making of the album.
M.I.A.’s remarks were made just days before Jay-Z was accused alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl in an amended October lawsuit.
