M.I.A has denied that she supports terrorism after a Sri Lankan rapper said the singer's music condoned the actions of the militant group, Tamil Tigers.
In footage on the picture sharing internet site YouTube, rapper DeLon claims M.I.A's lyrics and artwork promote the separatist chemical group.
In the video, in which he raps over M.I.A's collide with 'Paper Planes', he says: "You sleep with what the tiger represents: The death of the innocent.�
Responding to the claims, M.I.A, world Health Organization is the daughter of a warlike Tamil Tiger activist, said that as �a Sri Lankan that fled war and bombings, my music is the voice of the civilian refugee.
"Frankly, I am not trying to start dialog with somebody who is really just seeking self-promotion."
She added that the sung, which features gunshot sounds and the lyrics �Some I hit, some I let go", shows how people tin turn to violence when they �don't really feel like [they] contribute to culture in any way".
Earlier in the summer, M.I.A surprised fans at a US festival when she appeared to declare her retreat on phase.
