Kid Cudi fired opener M.I.A. from his Rebel Ragers tour on May 2 after she was booed for delivering a Republican-leaning onstage rant. Cudi announced her removal and said, "I won't have someone on my tour making offensive remarks." M.I.A.'s outspoken political history means the ouster highlights how headliners are policing political speech on major tours and could affect future booking decisions.
