M.I.A. gets snagged at Canadian border

Musician M.I.A. stayed true to her stage name on Wednesday after being snagged first at an airport in London, then at the U.S.-Canadian border at Fort Erie.

The veteran British-Sri Lankan performer, whose real name is Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, was scheduled to attend Toronto’s Hot Docs Film Festival for the Canadian premiere of the documentary Matangi/Maya/M.I.A., a biographical film made from more than ten years of personal footage.

Originally the musician was scheduled to fly direct from London, England to Toronto, but was stopped from boarding. Arulpragasam managed to secure a temporary visa that allowed her to fly to the U.S. then enter Canada by land, but when she and her assistant arrived at the border at Fort Erie, they were detained for several hours.
