Record producer DIPLO is adamant M.I.A. lost her “hunger” for music after settling in to family life<\/strong> – and only made her third album because she shot to international stardom with PAPER PLANES.<\/p>\n

Diplo<\/strong>, who co-produced the track, insists its belated chart successes more than six months after its release tempted M.I.A. back to the studio to record her new album, Maya.<\/p>\n

The disc has met with largely negative reviews since it hit stores earlier this month (Jul10) – and although Diplo admits they “f**ked up”, he was still stunned by the criticism the album received.<\/p>\n

He tells Blackbookmag.com<\/strong>, “I am surprised by it. She like, retired because she married a dude and she didn’t care about music. She only did it again because Paper Planes did blow up in the end. It gave her a second wind, but she didn’t have any hunger anymore. She already got a full table… But besides that I think she’s amazing and she’ll put another record out that’s going to be f**king sick (good) because I think she needs to get grounded at some point.”<\/p>\n

Can’t believe that. Maybe she’s taking time off to raise a family, but her song XXXO<\/a> is hot! Can’t see her losing her hunger for music. She’ll be back!
