Rapper faces $2.8M lawsuit after axing opening act from tour following her political rant

M.I.A. sued Kid Cudi for $2.8 million nearly one month after she was kicked off the rapper's "Rebel Ragers Tour" for making "offensive remarks" on stage, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

M.I.A. — who's full name is Mathangi Maya Arulpragasam — claimed the "Rebel Rangers Tour" promoter, Live Nation, provided a $2.8 million guarantee with her and her company, Neet Touring LLP.

The sum was to be paid "regardless of what she said on stage," according to the lawsuit.
