Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco announces his retirement after he is accused of being antisemitic.
The allegations stem from a freestyle the rapper released this week. In it he says, “Artists gettin’ robbed for their publishing / By dirty Jewish execs who think that it’s alms from the covenant.”
This, to some, was proof that the rapper is antisemitic, but he defended the verse and denied any antisemitism.
“I’ve walked inside the ovens of Auschwitz… I’ve studied the Hebrew bible,” the rapper said.
The rapper took to his Twitter page and said, “I get the hint God. Yo Lupe fans it’s been fun and I hope you’ve had fun. I’m officially not releasing anymore music. Albums cancelled.” He also said he was “getting beat up for telling the truth”.
He has since cancelled his tour.
Apparently this is the era of temper tantrums…
I sure hope things get better soon.
