Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on July 18, 1975)

Happy Birthday, M.I.A.! May your celebrations be louder than "Paper Planes," cooler than the swagger in "Bad Girls," and noisier (in a good way) than when you decided to boldly "Bring the Noize." You've always been fearless—breaking boundaries with style, beats that stick like glue, and visuals brighter than neon lights.

Here's hoping this year brings even more groundbreaking creativity. Keep shaking things up because honestly—we wouldn't expect anything less from someone who effortlessly blends art forms into pure magic. Stay fierce; stay fabulous—and remember: age is just another number you're bound to remix anyway!
