British rapper M.I.A. has launched her own clothing brand called Ohmni which sells “Protency boxers” that claim to block electromagnetic frequencies that are said to boost fertility. The brand’s website states that their products are the “last frontier” of preserving one’s privacy, autonomy and rights over their own body and data.

She explained to Jones that the clothing line is designed to protect wearers from nanoparticles although at present, there has been no specific explanation on how Ohmni protects its wearers from the particles.

The announcement came after M.I.A appeared on Alex Jones’ Infowars show to explain how the clothing line is designed to protect wearers from nanoparticles. Although the product seems far-fetched, M.I.A emphasizes the importance of protecting oneself in 2024 as every house could be considered a digital battlefield. However, M.I.A’s controversial past has resulted in her being dropped from GQ’s 2022 Men Of The Year Awards after the magazine severed ties with her over controversial tweets about vaccines
