M.I.A. Samples 'The Lion King' on New Track, Disses Donald Trump
M.I.A. roasting xenophobia is something we've gotten accustomed to, especially with her video for "Borders" last year, but the singer sampling The Lion King to lambast Donald Trump? That's some next-level maneuvering, for sure.
But how do we know that M.I.A. is calling out Trump, the political-Voldemort-incarnate, exactly? It comes when the singer spits a verse about the Mexican/United States border, which of course is a contentious part of the G.O.P frontrunner's nonsensical campaign. Listen to the two-part "OLA/Foreign Friend" below.
