MIA gave birth to a baby boy this week, having gone into labour just hours after appearing at the Grammy awards.
"SUNDAY NITE I CAME HOME FROM THE GRAMMYS STILL IN THE MOOD TO PARTY," she explained on her MySpace blog this weekend. "I coulda easily gone out but I went home instead. Lucky I did! Coz my early stage labour kicked in around 2am."
The British-born star had been nominated in the category of Record of the Year. Nine months pregnant in a polka-dot dress, MIA performed with T.I. and Jay-Z for a version of Swagga Like Us.
"My baby was born Wednesday," she announced on Valentine's Day.
"He is healthy, fine, beautiful and the most amazing thing ever on this planet."
The baby's father is Benjamin Brewer, a New York musician and son of Warner Music CEO Edgar Bronfman.
MIA "and baby" are planning to tour in 2010, she said, and, naturally, are already "together ... making mixtapes".
