M.I.A. (Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam) has some news for you, she is pregnant. The 31 year old British songwriter, record producer, vocalist, and rapper rocked the stage Saturday night at Diesel’s ridiculous xXx party in New York City. Dressed in Spandex M.I.A. walked the stage displaying a large belly and also performed with N.E.R.D.. She told the fans “I’m creating a baby” and was sure to point out “I got engaged first and then i got pregnant, kids” trying to set a good example. M.I.A. was engaged in May of 2008.

In an interview before the performance she explained “When I found out I was pregnant and ‘Paper Planes’ was on the Top 10 it seemed like the whole world was reshuffled in one week, and all my plans went out the window. And that’s the lesson, you can’t make plans, and you can’t say shi*. She also goes on to say “I have to do the rounds go and visit with the family and show them the belly.” But on that note she also wanted to let everyone know that there is no retirement plans for her quite yet, in fact far from it.

The father to be is Ben Brewer lead guitarist and vocalist from the indie/punk/reggae band “The Exit”. Ben is also the son of Warner Music Group’s CEO, Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
