Watch M.I.A. Goof Off In “The Only Fresh Exciting Bit” Of Diplo Doc F1ORIDA

M.I.A. and Diplo

It’s hard to believe these days, but Diplo and M.I.A., who now seem to sit on opposite ends of the pop-cultural spectrum, were a couple for a long time. Diplo’s surprisingly meditative solo debut LP Florida turns 10 this year, and a new reissue comes with F1ORIDA, a 20-minute documentary about Diplo’s early career that his friend Brian Torres Korlofsky directed. M.I.A. is no fan of the doc, but she’s pointed out on Twitter that she’s in it, amidst all the butts. (There are a lot of butts in the doc.) “I’m in there with a brain saving him,” she writes. For the minute-or-so she’s onscreen, though, she’s mostly just dancing adorably. Below, watch the video and read what M.I.A. has to say about it.
