Madonna: M.I.A. Apologized for Middle Finger Stunt

Madonna says rapper M.I.A. has apologized for sticking up her middle finger during their Super Bowl halftime show.

“I know she feels bad … I accept her apology, but you know, I think she still has her head in the sand right now. I’m not sure,” the 53-year-old entertainer told Carson Daly on AMP 97.1.

Though Madonna previously said she was disappointed about the debacle, she still supports M.I.A. as a fellow artist.

“I like her and, you know, I believe in people having individuality and I like her punk rock attitude,” she added. “Actually I think she’s really cool and that’s why I asked her to be in my show and be on my record [MDNA]. But I didn’t think that was the time or the place for it, to tell you the truth.”
