M.I.A. got a lot of publicity after her now infamous middle finger incident during Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show and now sources are claiming that M.I.A has split with her fiance and father of her son, Benjamin Bronfman. M.I.A. and Benjamin have one son together, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman and allegedly she goes weeks without seeing her son…uh oh!
One insider tells us that M.I.A., 36, is spending most of her time in her native London, while Bronfman, 29, and their progeny, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman , who turns 3 on Saturday, are living in New York. The source adds that Ben’s mother, philanthropist Sherry Bronfman , is helping to take care of his son.
Another source says that M.I.A., whose real name is Mathangi (Maya) Arulpragasam, “sometimes goes six weeks without seeing†Ikhyd.
Bronfman, an environmentalist and former guitarist for the punk reggae band The Exit, is also the son of Seagram heir Edgar Bronfman Jr.
Shortly before Ikhyd was born in 2009, the couple bought a house in the exclusive Brentwood section of Los Angeles.
M.I.A., who has a new single out, “Bad Girls,†talked marriage in a number of 2010 interviews, but reportedly said she wanted to wait until she settled immigration issues.
Bronfman looked like he was on a date last week when he was spotted at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem with a beautiful woman.
People in M.I.A’s camp say that her middle finger gesture and foul language was just an act of ‘adrenaline and  nerves’!
A member of M.I.A.’s camp claimed the rapper was struck with ‘a case of adrenaline and nerves.’
‘She wasn’t thinking,’ said the source, who requested anonymity but was with the artist at Lucas Oil Stadium. “It wasn’t any kind of statement.
‘She was caught in the moment and she’s incredibly sorry.’
