Maya Arulpragasam, a.k.a. M.I.A., gave birth to her first child, a boy, Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 1:30 P.M. in Los Angeles. It is her first child with fiancee Benjamin Brewer, a New York musician and founder of Green Owl Records.
And it seems all that bouncing around onstage at the Grammys may have contributed to the birth. In a MySpace post, the SPIN cover star and Grammy nominee explains (in all caps, Kanye style):
