It's official - M.I.A. gave the finger - hence the quick cutaway to gold during the halftime show.

Accompanying artist M.I.A., 36, flipped the bird toward a camera just before a cutaway during the halftime show.
It seemed a blip on the radar of an otherwise successful production, in which Madonna, backed by a marching band dressed as soldiers of antiquity and a capacity crowd armed with flashlights, tacked on to the tradition of increasingly extravagant Super Bowl halftime shows.




It's around 10 seconds and I really do think she said shit too when she gave the finger

I came in to find your post and you have it.

Stupid thing to do. I don't get why someone would admire the singer for that. I don't care about it, but stupid
