London:
Rapper MIA has released a song online in tribute to singer Amy Winehouse less than 48 hours after she died, but the unfinished track has received flak from fans.
The 36-year-old London-born rapper and songwriter took to her Twitter to post the unfinished demo on her page.
But it has been seen as not only being too soon after the singer's death, but in very bad taste as well, as the lyrics of the song refer to a drug and alcohol addict who died at 27, reported Daily Mail.
MIA left a tweet with it that read, "I recorded this song B4 vickileekx and never put it out. It's an unfinished demo. RIP Amy (sic)." She also dedicated it to "all my friends who died at 27."
The rapper, real name Mathangi Arulpragasam, posted lyrics of the song which includes lines such as "All rock stars go to heaven, you said you'll be dead at 27." Another read, "I took you to the clinic to get you clean but you couldn't."
But fans reacted badly to the song, with one saying, "How is this a 'dedication'? Am I missing something? Seems more like she's reminding people of the horrible things they all went through!"
Winehouse was found dead at the age of 27 by her security guard Andrew Morris at her home in Camden, North London on Saturday.
Her death puts her in a pantheon of famous musicians including Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison who have all died at the same age and are part of the notorious 27 Club, also known as Forever 27.
