M.I.A. Baby Announcement - It's A Boy
British baby mama rapper, M.I.A. was scheduled to have her baby on Grammy night. Lucky for us, her baby in true showbiz style, decided to show up late so M.I.A. was able to pull out an original killer performance that was probably a first in Grammy award history -- the show's only 9 month pregnant rapper performing live.
However, according to the Daily Dish on sfgate.com reports, "M.I.A. Felt Contractions At Grammys" leaving everyone to wonder, after the show did M.I.A. have her baby?

The Baby's Father
Is It Baby Brewer or Baby Bronfman, Jr.
M.I.A. is engaged to Benjamin Bronfman, Jr. who also has been known by his mother's maiden name Benjamin Brewer. Or will the baby take M.I.A.'s last name, Arulpragasam?
The Exit is a New York City-based band indie/punk/reggae group, formed in 2000. The band's music blends '80s dub and reggae with '90s punk and indie rock. The band's members include Ben Brewer on lead guitar and vocals, and Gunnar Olsen on drums. Jeff DaRosa was formerly the band's lead vocals and bass player.
The Baby's Grandfather
Edgar Bronfman Jr.
Edgar Miles Bronfman, Jr. (born May 16, 1955), formerly CEO of Seagram and vice-chairman of Vivendi Universal, has been CEO of Warner Music Group since 2004. He is the son of Edgar Miles Bronfman and the grandson of Samuel Bronfman, one of the wealthiest and most influential Jewish families in Canada.
The Bronfman family gained its fortunes through the Seagram Company, an alcohol distilling company, but Edgar Jr. ("Efer" to friends) has gained his reputation by expanding and later divesting ownership of the Seagram Company, as well as for pursuing more creative activities as a Broadway and film producer and songwriter.
His controversial decision to sell his family stake in DuPont Chemical in order to create the Vivendi Universal entertainment company which turned out to be short-lived, was a source of widespread astonishment in the business community.
