Videos / Mike McCray / News Video: M.I.A.'s "Born Free"
Posted By Mike McCray on Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 2:18 PM
And you thought Eryukah Badu's little stroll in the nude caused controversy... The video for M.I.A's song, "Born Free" has already been banned from YouTube in the States for its graphic images. There's full front nudity, people getting beaten, redheaded kids being chased through mine fields and some other pretty graphic shit that I won't ruin for you, but needless to say, it's crazy.
As far as the song goes, umm, don't see this one being the radio friendly club/banger "Paper Planes" was, but I highly doubt that's what she was shooting for either.
NSFW, watch with caution. Anybody that cares even the slightest about kids, may not want to click play.
Speaking of...
