M.I.A. Blasts NYT Writer In New Song 'I'm A Singer (Haters)'

M.I.A. was unhappy with a condescending New York Times profile that ran in the paper's magazine over the weekend, so she shared the writer's phone number over Twitter.

Now M.I.A. has found another way to channel her anger at Lynn Hirschberg and the NYT--through a track called 'I'm a Singer (Haters)' posted on her website. Here are some lyrics, listen below:

And the story's always f---ed by the time it hits

Why the hell would journalists be thick as s---

Cuz lies equals power equals politics.

I'm a singer

Never said anything else

I didn't lie to you

Thinkin' of somebody else

You can talk sh-- to me I'm used to it

You can make me hard with the wounds that I have to lick

You can pick on me and I can see it at a click.

M.I.A. has also posted excerpts from the interview on her website. Turns out Hirschberg is the one who ordered the truffle fries.

"'I kind of want to be an outsider,' she said, eating a truffle-flavored French fry," Hirschberg wrote of M.I.A. in the NYT piece. "'I don't want to make the same music, sing about the same stuff, talk about the same things. If that makes me a terrorist, then I'm a terrorist.'"
