M.I.A. Sues Kid Cudi for $2.8M over Tour Exit
The British rapper says Live Nation owed her the fee and that Cudi removed her to boost weak ticket sales.
- British rapper M.I.A. filed a $2.8 million lawsuit against Kid Cudi on Monday, alleging the rapper unlawfully terminated her from his Rebel Ragers Tour to generate publicity.
- Following her May 2 set in Dallas, Cudi removed the artist from his tour last month, stating he was "flooded with messages from fans" who complained about remarks she made during her opening performance.
- Legal filings argue Cudi's decision was a "desperate attempt to sell tickets," while the rapper claimed he warned her against saying anything "offensive" before the tour began.
- The lawsuit seeks to hold Cudi accountable for lost earnings, including a $300,000 private-event offer rescinded after the controversy, alongside demands for legal fees and punitive damages.
- Known for expressing controversial views, M.I.A. previously endorsed Donald Trump and faced criticism regarding COVID-19 vaccine comments, themes she argues she has long tackled without mainstream support.
