Kid Cudi Kicks Off M.I.A. From Tour After Political Rants During Her Concert Set

Kid Cudi has removed M.I.A. as a support act from his Rebel Ragers Tour after she allegedly repeatedly went on bizarre rants during her performances. In a post shared to his Instagram Stories, Cudi announced that M.I.A. would not be joining him on the remaining dates of the tour. “M.I.A. is no longer on this tour,” he wrote. “I told my management to send a notice to her team before we started tour that I didn’t want anything offensive at my shows, cuz I already knew what time it was, and I was assured things were understood.” Despite informing her team that he didn’t want anything “offensive” at his shows, she apparently persisted. “After the last couple shows, I’ve been flooded with messages from fans that were upset by her rants,” he continued. “This, to me, is very disappointing and I won’t have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase. Thank you for understanding. Multiple tweets after the Dallas stop on the tour indicated that M.I.A. went on political rants during her set, with one user claiming that she told the audience she’s a Republican and was booed. Those particular remarks did not appear to have been captured in footage shared to social media,
