M.I.A. has issued a statement in regards to yesterday’s report that she named her son Ickett. M.I.A. wrote this on her MySpace blog,

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!

I DIDNT RELEASE THE BABY NAME BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK IT WAS NEWS!!!

BUT I WILL BE BACK WITH SOMETHING NEWS WORTHY SOON, TILL THEN GO PICK ON APPLE, SATCHEL AND MOON UNIT.

LOTS OF LOVE STICKIT!!

I’m glad that wasn’t the name she chose for her child.  Can you imagine the fun a bully would have with a kid named Ickett?  The teasing would never stop.  What do you think?
