M.I.A. tackles the NFL in new track "Boom ADD"

25 February 2016, 15:27 | Written by Laurence Day

M.I.A.'s tangled with sports giants a few times in recent memory, but new jam "Boom ADD" puts the crosshairs on the NFL.

When M.I.A. performed at the Superbowl half time show in 2012 with Madonna, she drew ire by presenting a middle finger. The NFL sued her. God forbid something so terrible should happen to damage their rep, right?

This barbed cut doesn't just tackle the NFL though. Here's the opening line from M.I.A.: "Brown girl, brown girl turn your shit down / you know our America don't wanna hear your sound / boom boom jungle music go back to India / with your crazy shit you're bumming up the area..."

"Boom ADD" follows "Borders" and "Swords".

Check out "Boom ADD" below.
