Lupe Fiasco says in a series of tweets that he sent yesterday (January 13) that he will no longer be “addressing the public directly.”
“When you get the chance look at my timeline. It’s like looking into Dante’s Inferno. The raw pure hatred and negativity. I see it everyday,” his first tweet said.
The Chicago rapper says that he pays attention to his social media.
“I never look away from it. Its the truth of humanity. A truth that I asked to see the minute I decided to stand up for the good in this life,” another tweet said. “These are my last few days addressing the public directly. Im not tired. I could carry on for years. I just really want to do something else.”
Lupe Fiasco, who faced backlash on Twitter in December after defending Iggy Azalea, says that he prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
“I never really liked dealing with the public,” he tweeted. “My recording career thus far put me in a place where i had to for promotion etc
“Now that my contract is over and I have other things that I’d rather be doing I get to make the decision to go back to the shadows,” he continued.

GOOD… GO AWAY!!
See ya bum, you wont be missed!
All you miserable haters.
Word! PEOPLE SO NAIVE WHEN HATING ON A DEDICATED ARTIST NOT TAKING SHORTCUT MAKING MONEY…. … man lu is way underrated and over hated!
Lupe talks too much and says dumb things, that’s why people hate him. He should have learned to keep his mouth shut and stay low key like his hero Nas.
“killed hip hop” ?? seriously… hes one of the only few remaining artists with genuine substance and lyricism… it evident that you are naive on the topic of HIP HOP… just another blind hater..!
how about you make ANOTHER mediocre album fam
he’s never made a mediocre album not F&l not The Cool not F&L2 and not LASERS which is certainly overhated… an artist who produces genuine substance and conscious music in this age of dumbed down and vulgar music industry… you better go listen to birdman… if you dont like him .. just stay away.. dont bring your meaningless hatred and negativity on here!
“today, nooobody cares”
and tomorrow we still won’t, so how about you shut the fuck up forever
azalea banks, is that you?
he is talking to you azealia ‘racist’ banks
i think hiphop dx just invented time travelling “Posted 6 years ago”? !!
Je suis Lupe Fiasco
WOW. Dopest line I’ve read on here.
Um, he could stay away from social media. Why is he getting so affected by trolls? Just use a media team to do the social media stuff while you make the music.
Shame, cause he’s a very talented rapper
If you watch his interview with whoo kid about a year and a half ago he did say once his contract is up hes going to quit music and do something else. So this was his plan all along
Another prime example of a true lyricist not getting the respect he deserves. It hurts when your favorite music genre is surrounded in ignorance. In the meantime, Lupe, don’t let the hate change your message.
