M.I.A. and Fiancé Split
As if giving Super Bowl audiences the finger wasn't bad enough, reports claim M.I.A. has split from her fiancé and "sometimes goes six weeks without seeing" her son.
A New York Daily News source alleges the British rapper spends most of her time in London while her now ex-fiancé Benjamin Bronfman lives in New York City with their son Ikhyd, who turns 3 this weekend. Bronfman's mom reportedly helps take care of the couple's son.
M.I.A. and Bronfman, former guitarist for The Exit, moved in together in 2009, but put off marriage until she settled her immigration issues. The singer refused to marry for a green card.
"That's what they want me to do, but I'm not going to lose my integrity for that s---," she told Fader magazine in 2010. "I actually want a nice wedding. I'm not going to blow that."
News of the couple's split emerged after Bronfman was spotted with a "beautiful woman" last week at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem.
Reps for both Bronfman and M.I.A. had no comment.
