Lupe Fiasco Addresses Faith, Criticism Of President Obama In Katie Couric Interview

    Lupe Fiasco is slated to appear in an interview with Katie Couric tomorrow (June 11), according to Yahoo

    Today (June 10), a portion of the interview was released. In the clip, Fiasco is asked about his faith and how it may interfere or be challenged by being a rapper. 

    “We’re human,” Fiasco says when asked about being Muslim. “We have faults. We make mistakes. That’s what religion is for, to help you correct your mistakes.” 

    In the interview, Fiasco is also asked about his criticism of President Obama. “I had people threaten me,” he says of his comment about President Obama on “Word I Never Said.”

    In June 2011, Fiasco spoke about his criticism of Obama, as well“To put it into context, I was asked about a song I did called ‘Words I Never Said,’ which addresses the war on terrorism,” Lupe said at the time. “So the statement that I made, which was ‘I believe that the biggest terrorist is Obama and the United States of America and its foreign policy,’ that was what the whole context of everything was. And there’s really just an expression of me trying to understand, critically, the society.”

    1. lupe you fucking wack as fuck now a days. produce trash music trash albums make news headlines for all the wrong reasons. Talk a lot of pointless nonsense take Ls from chief keef then grow your hair like chief keef. Lupe you are trash now and your fans are hopeless losers holding on to past memories. As a rapper in 2014 your fucking irrelevent

    2. People please ignore this fucknugget he obviously doesn’t have the required IQ to listen to a rapper like Lupe, nigga can’t even spell irrelevant right Lupe ain’t finna cater to these fools. Take an L yourself son

    3. Lupe should have stayed off Twitter LOL .. Lost all his credibility when he started Talking and started looking like Whoopi

    4. It doesn’t matter what Obama’s foreign policy or anything is. He is black and that is why we voted him for President and this is why he should be the 5th president added to Mount Rushmore.

    5. I like Lupe. But you can’t diss Obama for not taking a stand when you wouldn’t even stand up to your label (i.e. Lasers)

    6. regardless of whether you agree with his views or not, lupe’s one of the few rappers in mainstream hip hop actually saying something. gotta respect that.

      1. Only black performer criticizing Obama, that’s for sure. Paul Mooney’s still sitting in the dark trying to figure out what went wrong.

    7. Lupe is a real MF. You can tell that this man is a thinker.
      He’s not a brainwashed sheep like 95% of you mfs

    8. Cancer was cured over a century ago and those who gave the remedies were persecuted or murdered because of their success. May you take the time to learn, support and speak the Truth.

      You can be a tool to support the Lies, or you can search out and support the Truth. The choice is yours.
