One hand gesture at the Super Bowl turned into a multi-million dollar fight.

In 2012, M.I.A. appeared during Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show and briefly showed her middle finger to the camera. The NFL first demanded $1.5 million, then the claim reportedly grew to $16.6 million. In 2014, both sides reached a private settlement.

A few seconds on live TV became one of the strangest music controversies in Super Bowl history.
