M.I.A.'s husband is Benjamin Brewer, the heir to the Seagrams fortune. Seagrams bought the liquor brand Chivas 60 years ago. Hence:
"When I met Seagram he sent Chivas down my spine"
So the song's mostly an ode to her husband. It's an extended metaphor casting different types of alcohol as men. This is easily M.I.A.'s most clever rap to date.
Musically, this song's so next-level. Kinda reminds me of Black Dice.
This is ENTIRELY speculation, but given the fact that the line about wanting "To kill'a" is followed by the Gaga diss, perhaps Ben Bronfman and Gaga were romantically involved before him and Maya got together?

Maya also dissed Gaga in an interview not too long after the release of this album. She seemingly has a pretty bad grudge against her. While I can't find anything in the media about Bronfman and Gaga being romantically linked, Gaga is notoriously tight-lipped about her own sex/love life.

I did not know any of this, solid piece of info. Who's the ex she wants to kill, then?
