M.I.A. vs Rihanna
Såg ju direkt likheten mellan deras videor när jag först såg "Rude Boy" och nu har tydligen M.I.A. själv gått lös på det hela genom Twitter. Lite roligt tycker jag allt. Men visst, det är aldrig rätt att sno någon annans idéer eller koncept. Och jag hade nog reagerat på exakt samma sätt själv.
Båda videorna visar jag längst ner. Make your own opinion.

M.I.A. Rihanna Diss – M.I.A.”Boyz” music video Vs Rihanna ”Rude Boy” music video,pick your side.When Rihanna dropped the music video for her latest single ‘Rude Boy’ everyone said that it was cool but it looked like something they saw before.In less than 24 hours after the clip was in circulation ,it became more or less official that Rihanna stole the concept from the clip ”Boyz” off M.I.A.’s last album ”Kala.” But rapidly Melina Matsoukas, the director of RiRi’s clip denied the story telling MTV:
“I mean, you know that the video lends from a lot of Rasta culture and ’80s Atari vibe and that’s what we went with, too.And then afterward I was like, ‘Oh, this sucks. They tore down my video.’ And her video’s great too. It definitely wasn’t trying to rip anybody off at all — it was just our approach and the animation stuff, it had a similar vibe. We’ve seen that before with Grace Jones and Andy Warhol, so I don’t know if anybody can lay claim to anything. We’re all inspired by similar elements and it came together in that way.”
The man behind”Boyz” ,Diplo weighed in the controversy in an interview with MTV also where he said:
“I downloaded Rihanna’s album as soon as it came out because I was interested in seeing the pop world’s take on dub-step [musical style], because that’s what they were supposed to do.It was pretty weak except for ‘Rude Boy,’ which is one of my favorite songs of the year thus far. I’m glad it came out as a single, but when I saw the video I was like, ‘This is a total rip-off of M.I.A.’s “Boyz” video, with a little bit of Santigold as well.’ But it’s cool because she looks beautiful in the video. I just thought it was funny.”
But things really got heated last night when M.I.A. used her Twitter page to slightly attack the “Umbrella” singer.M.I.A. re-tweeted:
RT @KLAneedsREEBOX: if @Rihanna really sold her sole 2 tha deville than y cant saiten cum up wit sumpthin that dont look like a @_M_I_A_ …
