Television Appearances
Lady Sovereign has appeared on Soccer AM several times. She has appeared in a feature story on the Cartoon Network and in an educational movie called X-ED which can be viewed on YouTube.
On October 23 2006, Sovereign made an appearance on American talk show Late Night with David Letterman. The lyrics "If you hate me, then f*ck you" were changed to "if you hate me, then I hate you" for the show.
Feud with Jelly Donut
In 2006 a fan named Zach Slow made online plea to raise $10,000 for a "random" night with Lady Sovereign. The effort garnered wide media coverage, and was successful in both raising the required funds and securing the agreement of the artist to attend.
The aftermath was acrimonious, with both sides exchanging insults in the San Francisco Chronicle . A local DJ known as "Jelly Donut", originally involved with the "random night" endeavor, attended a January 7, 2007 show in San Francisco. At the show, he dressed in a large jelly donut costume and organized fans to chant "Battle Jelly Donut" while they attempted to lift him onstage, ostensibly to "duel" Lady Sovereign. After much disruption, Lady Sovereign threw a drink on Jelly Donut, and spat towards his face. Security escorted Jelly Donut out of the concert.
