Lupe Fiasco has been able to share a touching moment with his “favorite rapper” Ja Rule, during which he told the Murder Inc. rapper just how big of a fan he is.
Lupe and Ja were able to connect backstage at a recent show, and the Drill Music in Zion rapper was quick to give Ja Rule his flowers, and even took a moment to shout out his first three albums.
“This all I need right here,” Lupe said in the heartwarming meet and greet. “Listen, I grew up on Ja Rule, you feel me? I don’t give a fuck what no muthafucka say. They asked me who’s my favorite rapper, who I was listening to when I was coming up … give me Venni, Vetti, Vecci, n-gga. Give me muthafuckin’ Pain Is Love over anything n-gga. I don’t give a fuck. Give me [Rule] 3:36 over anything. Fuck these n-ggas, feel me? I’m bumpin’ Ja n-gga, fuck you!”
The pair then hugged it out as Lupe continued to tell Ja just how much he means to him.
Lupe Fiasco has his share of fans too. Tyler, The Creator recently gave the Chicago lyricist his flowers after he watched the rapper perform his 2007 album The Cool in full last September.
“Seen lupe do THE COOL in full last night,” Tyler tweeted. “Amazing performer. gold watch the coolest but paris tokyo with the shoutout to me was….mannnnnnnnnn my heart jetted outta my body. loved.”
Tyler, The Creator has long been an adamant fan and supporter of Lupe Fiasco’s work, and for years has been claiming the music industry didn’t treasure or respect the rapper’s work.
He reaffirmed this thought in 2021, writing on Twitter: “we didn’t protect Lupe mannnn.” Lupe Fiasco decided to respond this time around and reassured his rap peer that he’s living the good life.
“I’m still here fam lol,” Lupe wrote. “I’m happy. Family good. Life is awesome. Make my little money doing shows to Fund my lil side hustles. Joined the Illuminati. Pornography is better than it’s ever been. Chill case looking promising. Lawsuits settled. Booty muscles looking 25 again. Solid.”
As for Ja Rule, he was a bit disappointed earlier this month when he wasn’t included in Billboard and Vibe’s 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list. Regardless, he took a moment to shout out the 50 artists on Twitter.
“There ain’t 50 rappers dead, alive or waiting to be born better than me… #ICONN #Vibes,” he tweeted. “@billboard congrats to everyone on the list well deserved but check my resume… #ICONN #Vibes.”
Everybody was bumping Ja before Get Rich or Die Tryin. Honestly I think Ja could’ve been okay after the 50 beef had he not dissed Em & Dre. That’s what really killed his career
Nah man! After his first album Ja Rule started to make bubble gum music! It wasn’t rap anymore. He went from Story To Tell to Put It On Me. FOH! He made music for girls in high school and females in college. He set his own downfall. After that Fifty only had to finish it.
By Stealin “Ja’s” whole Style – Singin if not for fifty having Dre(prod)& Em (Fanbase) Rule Is way more lyrical.
Just sayin FACTS
Ja would’ve been ok if the feds didn’t rein down on Murder Inc. Sure the 50 beef didn’t help matters, but he did well with the RULE album which was almost 2 years after taking an L from 50.
One day its Too Short, the next day is Nas, now its Ja Rule. Lupe is cool in my book but one of the biggest ass kissers in the game.
Your name is Mike Tyson’s Disciple and you out here saying Lupe is kissing ass? Lmfao!!!! Take a seat sis, matter of fact take all of them in the empty auditorium that nobody showed up to supporting your statement. Lol. “Mike Tyson’s Disciple” lol. Girl, you a trip
We all know Nas is Lupe’s favorite rapper and mine to, but to be fair Nas does similar stuff…. Like saying Kendrick was the best, then Cole, then Lupe etc etc, it’s just showing luv, plus people are entitled to have more than one favorite, like Nas and Lupe are both my favorites
@ Tf. Well i box and train regularly. Meaning i can knock you the fuck out Glass Joe. Along with all the other bitch ass men in your family. Sticking to the topic tho. Im not gonna post here as ALI DISCIPLE or ARTURO GATTI DISCIPLE bc im not a flip flop asskisser like Lupe. IDK why i draw so many hate from slow mfs like you.
Lupe! Throwing up those damn devil horns… You picked the wrong side brother
You picked the wrong side (Demon)! And where did all those big ass intellectual words for Harvard go? He spittin ‘niqqa niqqa niqqa’ yet he wanna act like a philosopher. Ja Rule booty sniffer…
