M.I.A. wants her son to know about her struggles.
The 'Paper Planes' hitmaker gave birth to son Ikhyd Edgar Arular 15 months ago - her son with fiancé Benjamin Bronfman - and though he enjoys luxuries she never knew growing up, the rapper doesn't think he will have an easy life.
The singer, whose real name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, said: "I had to spend ages on stupid s**t, like getting to know about racism on a really street level, growing up in the projects. I think he's gonna have it in a different way."
M.I.A .wants Ikhyd to be aware of his roots, and also wants her son to spend time in the house she grew up in - which her own mother still lives in.
She told Complex magazine: "I want him to grow up here and spend as much time as possible with his grandma to learn the things I learned growing up in this house.
"He needs to hang with everybody and meet people and find out what they need and find out what the problems are and what the solutions are."
