Madonna was reportedly furious with M.I.A. for the gesture that overshadowed the Superbowl performance

M.I.A., whose real name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, is believed to be with her American husband Benjamin Brewer at their California home. She has remained tight-lipped on the incident, although British newspaper The Sun quoted a source close to the rapper as saying she was “incredibly sorry.”

M.I.A. displayed "the finger" during her halftime performance at Super Bowl XLVI.
