M.I.A. gives birth to a healthy baby boy

News broke Monday that British pop singer and Grammy award nominee M.I.A. had given birth the previous Wednesday to a baby boy. The news was announced on the singer's MySpace page, where she wrote that the new arrival was "healthy, fine, beautiful and the most amazing thing ever on this planet."

British pop singer M.I.A., who performed at the Grammy Awards last Sunday despite experiencing labor contractions, has given birth to a baby boy, she said on her MySpace page.

The unnamed baby was born on Wednesday, and is "healthy, fine, beautiful and the most amazing thing ever on this planet," according to her Web posting on Saturday.

The baby's father is musician Benjamin Brewer, son of Canadian liquor scion Edgar Bronfman, chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group. The location was not disclosed.

M.I.A., 31, whose real name is Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, was born in Britain but raised in Sri Lanka, where her father agitated for an independent Tamil state. She achieved fame with her second album "Kala," a cross-cultural mishmash of beats, slogans and lyrical drama. Her ubiquitous single "Paper Plane," which incorporates elements of an obscure Clash track, received a Grammy nomination for record of the year.

M.I.A. officially becomes mother to baby boy

One of the highlights of this year's Grammys was watching the very pregnant Maya Arulpragasam, aka M.I.A., perform on stage. In fact, her baby's due date was the night of the event, which could have been a potential problem, if you know, she actually had the baby on her due date.

Luckily for all of us she didn't, so we got to see her performance with Jay-Z, Kayne, and Lil Wanye, and as of Feburary 11th, she is the mother of a healthy baby boy. The child's father is M.I.A.'s fiancee, Exit frontman/Green Owl Records founder Benjamin Bronfman.
