M.I.A has revealed that she is expecting a new baby on the day she will find out whether she has won a Grammy Award.

The singer’s hit ‘Paper Planes’ has been nominated for Record of the Year at the ceremony on February 8th – the same day her baby is due.

Under the heading 'Baby + Grammy', M.I.A wrote on her MySpace page: “IS DUE THE SAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, so either way I figured I'll win.”

She also promised to “never diss” the ceremony again if she won and revealed that she was currently working in the studio.
