M.I.A. has accused Grammy Awards bosses of stealing the stage design for their Bob Marley tribute from one she debuted in Australia in January (13).
The Paper Planes hitmaker has placed footage from the Grammys tribute, which featured Sting, Bruno Mars and Rihanna, alongside a clip from her own show on image-sharing website Tumblr.com, and she's asking fans to spot the difference.
Both Laser-box set designs look identical.
M.I.A. writes, "My ideas came from my life. My set was based on
Tamil Hindu temple. Not Bob Marley. If u wanna (sic) see the real
thing or get it first, come to a M.I.A. show!"
