Kid Cudi wrote on Instagram that he and MIA had an agreement that there would be no "offensive" behavior at the concerts - but that his fans had contacted him "upset about her actions."

MIA reportedly talked about "illegal immigrants" in the audience and said she supports the Republicans, which was met with boos in Dallas.

She says she is misunderstood.

"Don't gaslight my words. It's the work of Satan," she writes, among other things, on X.

Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, her real name, has stirred up a storm in recent years after making statements against vaccines and 5G - including selling a type of tinfoil hat - and for supporting Robert F. Kennedy and Donald Trump.
