Contrary to popular belief M.I.A’s son is not named Ickitt.
In response to reports which claimed the Sri Lankan MC would give her offspring a cliched “kooky celebrity baby name” Maya left this blog post on her Myspace:
MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL THE HOLLYWOOD PRESS. HES A BABY , HE DONT NEED PRESS!
