M.i.a.: 'My Boy Is Not Called Ickitt'

  • 07 March 2009

New mum M.I.A. has shot down reports she has named her baby son Ickitt.
Latina.com was the first website to suggest the Paper Planes hitmaker had given her month-old boy the odd moniker, but in a MySpace.com post, the rapper/singer insists she hasn't decided on a name yet.
The angry mum writes, "MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL THE HOLLYWOOD PRESS. HES A BABY, HE DONT NEED PRESS! I DIDNT RELEASE THE BABY NAME BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK IT WAS NEWS!!!! BUT I WILL BE BACK WITH SOMETHING NEWSWORTHY SOON."
Fun-loving M.I.A. then urges the media to "GO PICK ON APPLE, SATCHEL AND MOON UNIT" - the odd-named offspring of Gwyneth Paltrow, Mia Farrow and Frank Zappa respectively.
The hitmaker signs off, "LOTS OF LOVE STICKIT!!"
