102318627 Oprah Gave M.I.A. Stank Face Shade

As my cupcake Black Socialite of Concrete Loop would say, Oprah doesn’t see it for M.I.A.

In an interview with ‘Time Out London,’ M.I.A. described an experience at this year’s Metropolitan Ball in New York where she says she was slighted by Winfrey.

“Oprah seemed like she was giving me the cold shoulder. She was with [supermodel] Iman [Bowie]. Iman was always dancing with me, hugging and kissing me, but Oprah seemed really pissed off with me,” said M.I.A.

In addition to receiving the cold shoulder from Oprah, M.I.A also spoke about how she disliked the praises she gave to Lady Gaga (another person she’s expressed disdain for in the past) while at the Met Ball.

“Also, [Winfrey] made this huge speech at the ball praising Lady Gag about how she is helping Americans to be the best of themselves. There’s millions of other Americans who represent that for me. Is [it] about numbers? About how much you’re selling? Is it truly about the journey? Because [Lady Gaga's] journey isn’t that difficult: to go from the f—— Upper East Side to a f—— performing arts school and onto a stage at the museum of f——- wherever. That journey’s about four miles.” (source)
