There are a couple that spring into mind.
M.I.A's YouTube Profile Picture.
M.I.A (
Real name: Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, MBE)
Born 18th July 1975 in Hounslow, London, England.
Mathangi(Who I'll refer to as "Maya" from this point on for simplification reasons because most people can't spell or pronounce her full name correctly)'s father was a member (Founding member, in fact) of a terrorist group in Sri Lanka known as the
Eelam Revolutionary Organisation of Students (EROS), an affiliate group of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a vile, degenerate organisation who conducted bombings, massacred civilians, and are responsible for the
Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India in 1991 and the Assassination of Ranasinghe Premadasa in 1993, both incidents were executed via suicide bombings.
There's a reason why The United States, European Union and even refugee-friendly Canada consider the LTTE a "terrorist organisation" that was unanimously banned from 1993 to 2008 when their figurehead was ganked and pwned by the military. They make Al Qaeda and the IRA look like Oxfam and St Jude's by comparison.
This hasn't stopped Maya from viewing herself as a "victim" of the Sri Lankan Civil War, even though her father was a key member of the various militant factions who, alongside the Sri Lankan Army, inflicted between 70,000 to 100,000 casualties in the 25-year-period of the brutal South Asian conflict between 1983 and 2008. And when you see any interviews of her describing her troubles in the conflict (such as an account where her school was targeted by the military, and her entire class had to move to the English Language classes because the army wouldn't shoot down those sections), and especially when you see any interviews of her calling herself "a refugee advocate", know that her parents were known terrorists and the groups were known for also contributing to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in the island nation.
It
took her until 2016 (
Archive) to even get a visa for the United States due to her pro-Tamil Liberation(read: "public support and advocacy of a militant movement linked to terrorist factions who were known for killing civilians,
ethnic cleansing,
using child soldiers and assassinating people") rhetoric, heavily influenced by both of her parents and her political autism.
Plus, she's a massive attention whore and social parasite, with a history of leeching off of other musicians and producers to elevate her status.
The only reason why people know of her was because she got herself into a nepotistic relationship with both Justine Frischmann of Elastica and Damon Albarn of Blur(Albarn is another celebrity lolcow, who has thrown multiple tantrums in the past,
from his short-lived cross-cow pissing contest with Taylor Swift over her inability to write songs, (
Archive link) even though Albarn himself hypocritically supports other musicians who don't write their own songs, to
getting butthurt at Top Gear in 2014 over Jeremy Clarkson's numberplate on a Porsche 928 in Argentina, because he falsely assumed that the choice of number plate was deliberate and not a coincidence, Clarkson himself pitied Albarn's propensity to throw public tantrums without checking any evidence a la GiBi, saying that Albarn feels "a little foolish"), profiting off of the tail-end of the already dying Britpop scene by being a shitty graffiti artist (remember, most graffiti artists
hate being sellouts and are anti-commercial, for Maya to go down the route of marketing herself as this impoverished individual, despite being connected to mainstream music from her early college years is another sign that you shouldn't take any of her bullshit seriously).
Another example of her attention-seeking behaviour is her public romantic frustrations with Diplo, I say "romantic" because they were partnered with each other from 2003 to around 2008, Diplo also produced several of her songs (including the 2005 mixtape, Piracy Funds Terrorism, and her most popular song, 2008's "Paper Planes") and was very responsible for her emergence into relevancy (alongside XL Recordings, who picked her up before her first album was even fully recorded).
Maya accuses Diplo of being "jealous" of her climb up the music industry ladder, even though there's no evidence of Diplo destroying Maya's hotel room, nor is there any evidence of him shit-talking her over her Interscope deal in the United States. So yeah,
Maya's not very reliable with the truth, just like her terrorist father. Like father, like daughter indeed.
Then there's her inability to handle criticism of her music. When the New York Times wrote an article criticising her work in 2010, namely noting Maya's hypocrisy and ignorance of her own lavish and wealthy lifestyle (it was during this time when she was romantically partnered with
Benjamin Bronfman, a scion of the Lehman family, the same family whose main family business, Lehman Brothers,
was a catalyst for the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-12, so for anyone asking, yes, she's a social climber of sorts, ironic, considering her songs heavily feature themes of gender stereotypes, here she is sleeping with (and unironically fucking) the elites, she even had a child with Bronfman in 2009, during the peak of the recession), she went full DeviantArt and seethe-tweeted "Fuck the New York Times", and managed to get most media outlets to bully the writer of the article, Lynn Hirschberg into "correcting" (read: "revising") the article to be more "Maya-friendly".
But not before posting Hirschberg's phone number publicly online in a rather inept, Chimpburgers-esque attempt to prove that it was Lynn who was being a hypocrite and a liar and not her.
Whether you think Hirschberg was being a poor journalist or not, the fact of the matter is that if you DO upset Maya, M
aya is more than willing to dox you for being critical of her. She's capable and willing, and it's best to keep this in mind when dealing with her publicly or privately. It is also very telling of her character when SHE gets threats online, as when the flames are directed at her, she cries like a little bitch to anyone who would listen, namely news articles, before shilling her album,
as she did in June 2010 because of her hypocritical virtue-signalling which covered the promotional activity of her third album, Maya. Again, when Maya is threatened, she cries like a bitch, but when it involves other people she doesn't like, she's more than willing to dox and bully them into silence and censure. If that's not the definition of a modern lolcow, I don't know what is.
She's also currently a born-again Christian, since 2017, after claiming to have seen a vision of Jesus (the main link is article-limited and is partially paywalled, use
this link if you don't want to give the site any money) Speaking of Maya's delusions:
-She was brought back into the public eye for her ramblings about COVID-19 vaccines, Maya claimed that she would rather
"choose death" above vaccination. She would attempt to backtrack (again, ironic, considering her history of cultivating an image of not backing down like some Amazonian wannabe philosopher) by asserting that she's "pro-vaccine", before purporting another lie about COVID Vaccines and 5G being linked to "hedge funds", on top of the already debunked belief that 5G Mobile Internet and "confuse or slow the body down in healing process as ("the",) body is learning to cope with new singles wavelength s [
sic] frequency etc @ same time as Cov." (as you can see, Maya can't English too well online, especially on Twitter and Instagram, so trying to read her literary cancer and rotten word salads is akin to reading an E.E. Cummings poem while high on Ethanol). Remember,
she once claimed that Facebook was linked to the CIA, whilst using and promoting her music and public Autism on Instagram,
a website that Facebook wholly owns, at the same time.
-
She's also a holder of the already long-debunked belief that Violent Video Games have a negative impact on children, this is in direct contradiction to hundreds of studies that
Computer Games do NOT have a link to negatively influencing children to the point where they'll conduct in violent activity.
-In 2008, she attempted and succeeded in promoting her
anti-police stance by filming a Black American man getting arrested by the NYPD, by referencing alongside her post the shooting of Sean Bell and uploading the footage on her YouTube account. Even though the arrest had absolutely nothing to do with the Bell case or the shooting itself.
Maya was essentially creating a false-flag operation to satisfy her anti-police biases. Which, is a very idiotic and unethical practice as far as documenting anything online goes.
The other Lolcow of note is Pete Doherty
Doherty pictured in 2005.
Pete Doherty (Born 12th March 1979 in Hexham, Northumberland, England) is the personification of everything wrong with 2000s musicians. From massive egos to violent and anti-social behaviour. You name anything that relates to a musician's personal and public scandals and problems and Petey-boy has done it all.
As an appetizer, Doherty is the co-frontman and lead writer of The Libertines, since 1997, alongside Carl Barât. Over the past 25 years, he has been a particular thorn and danger to both himself and others around him.
After the success of 2002's Up The Bracket, came money, and all of that money and success led to Doherty's ego ballooning to epic proportions of cringe.
Such as breaking into Barât's flat in 2003 and stealing his bandmate and friend's antique guitar, laptop, video recorder, CD player, mouth organ and various books whilst the band was performing in Japan without him.
So we're off to a good start once more, here we have an individual who is known to break into the property of his fellow bandmates and steal all sorts of equipment from them. What sort of acts of intellectual nous will Petey-boy get himself into?
Well, in August 2007, Doherty was arrested days after the V Festival for multiple drug charges and drug possession. Including cocaine, ketamine, cannabis, and heroin.
In 2006, Doherty was arrested for car theft ("Grand Theft Auto" in Colonial speak) and broke his bond deal on numerous occasions after his drug offences.
It was also revealed in 2005 that Doherty spent his early adult life, according to the horse's mouth himself, "
working in a bar, selling drugs, working on a building site, writing poetry in the graveyard shift at The King's Head - and I was wanking off old queens for like GBP20."
yes, he was a drug dealer for other homosexual men across the London district of Chelsea. And he also robbed one of his male clients while working as a male prostitute.
Furthermore, in
2007, he was photographed forcing his cat to smoke from a crack pipe. And during the period between 2009 and 2013, he was caught on numerous occasions, with varying convictions for drug offences. And in between 2015 and 2019, he
was caught with heroin in Italy and
Crack-Cocaine in France.
If you think he isn't a pile of shit, then let me tell you of the time when in October/November 2018 he sent his dogs (a pair of huskies) loose after an eight-year-old rescue cat owned by one of Pete's neighbours,
mauling him to death.
While the act may not be a crime in the literal sense, this incident is a key example of how little of Pete's disgusting character has changed. He's still a pile of shit who shouldn't be praised for trying to kick his addiction. Drugs didn't make him a shithead, he was already a shithead, to begin with, so consider that caveat whenever you see him protest Marine Le Pen in France.
Then there's the case that still marks Doherty to this day. Let me once again, introduce you to this man:
This is Mark Blanco, Blanco was a 30-year-old actor who died in 2006 under very suspicious and strange circumstances. After a night of heavy drinking, Blanco was alleged to have behaved aggressively towards Doherty, which prompted this man:
Paul Roundhill, an individual who was Doherty's self-styled agent and enabler of Doherty's destructive behaviour, proceeded to ignite Blanco's hat to distract the actor from approaching Pete on top of the action being a method to eject Blanco from the building (a known site within London for being a "Drug Haunt" and a fight ensued, a few minutes later, Blando was found outside of the building, near death, after a fall from the first-floor balcony window rendered him coated in blood and unconscious. He would die at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, East London, succumbing to severe head trauma and internal injury. From here, I'll quote word-for-word the Vice article(Archive link listed
here) describing the events within the 20-30 minutes before, during and after the incident, because it's very crucial to piecing together whatever the hell happened that night in December 2006:
"Blanco attended the party at Paul Roundhill's that night with a view to persuading Pete Doherty to attend the performance of his play. He'd heard Doherty was present from another drinker in The George Tavern.
Reports say Blanco was "excited". That "he'd had a lot to drink". Roundhill would say that Blanco was "getting out of order". In time, Roundhill
admitted to punching Blanco in the face three times, setting fire to his tweed cap and "dragging him out of the flat" because "he wouldn't leave and was being aggressive".
CCTV shows Blanco returning to the party a few minutes later.
He was on the floor just 56 seconds after he'd re-entered the flat. Doherty, Russell-Pavier and Headlock left the flat 15 seconds later. They got into a taxi to the Malmaison hotel in Clerkenwell. Doherty trashed his room and then fled when the police were called at 2:25 AM. Somewhere in this timeframe,
Headlock has admitted to stabbing Babyshambles guitarist Mick Whitnall five times with a fork.
Between arriving at the party and lying dead in the hospital, Mark Blanco lost his glasses and his £800 TAG Heuer watch. "His glasses and his watch were missing when his possessions were returned to me," says Shelia. "A police officer had put them in his locker, gone on leave for 11 days and forgotten about them. This was one of the complaints that went before the Independent Police Complaints Commission."
Shelia Blanco visited the scene of her son's death the following day. She was horrified to learn that Limehouse police hadn't adequately cordoned off the crime scene. She found one of the lenses from her son's glasses in the gutter. In due course, Shelia would take many complaints to the IPCC.
Three weeks after his death, on Christmas morning, 2006, Johnny Headlock walked into Bethnal Green police station and
confessed to the murder of Mark Blanco. Hours later, he retracted his statement. He cited stress. He told
Newsnight in 2012, "The reason why I said to the police that I did it is because I'd go out and people would say, 'You murderer,' and the stress was just too much."
In 2014, in a hallway of Stratford magistrates court, Headlock
twice told Sheila Blanco: "I didn't kill your son."
While Doherty may not have been the man who murdered Blanco, to this day, people genuinely believe he had a direct hand/involvement in Mark's death. What's especially incriminating is the fact that Pete and Headlock fled the scene when police were called to the rather shambolic scene. And like Roundhill, Doherty denies that Blanco was murdered, despite future investigations into the death have highlighted that Blanco didn't fall from the balcony, but was, for lack of a better description, "Dropped" from the balcony by other individuals. Now, carrying a human body is very difficult, even with two people, and I can reasonably conject that Doherty may have been one of the people who carried Blanco's motionless body alongside Roundhill and Headlock, after all, if he was innocent, why would he IMMEDIATELY FLEE THE SCENE with Headlock seconds after police were called? Doesn't add up.
Though, if I were more careful,
I wouldn't go as far as outright state that Doherty was an accomplice, but Doherty siding with Roundhill's side of the story, which he constantly changes when asked by either the police or any interviewer, makes him very suspect and not as clean as he claims to be.
A very long post, but this is just scratching the surface with both degenerates and sub-humans (and these are the two individuals that I personally consider lolcows, if not horrorcows/shizocows that are still alive). However, you are free to listen to their music. Just consider the artist behind the art, and especially take into account that you can never, ever separate man and woman from their works, especially when it comes to music and the arts.
