Is this really the end ? Lupe Fiasco has informed fans he is likely to retire from Rap. Lupe got into a bitter Twitter feud with 17-year-old Chieef Keef, following comments he made in an interview with Baltimore’s 92Q last week.
In the interview Lupe said “Chief Keef scares me. Not him specifically, but just the culture that he represents. … The murder rate in Chicago is skyrocketing, and you see who’s doing it and perpetrating it — they all look like Chief Keef,” Reported MTV News, he went on to say “When it comes to the point that, you know, that kids who are doing the killings, and they’re kids 13 to 19 years old, and you can replicate that in New Orleans, you can replicate that in Oakland. All the kids look the same.”
After the interview was aired Chief Keef tweeted “Lupe fiasco a hoe a—n—- And wen I see him I’ma smack him like da lil b—- he is #300.”
This then got fans of the two rappers talking and tweeting, after sometime Lupe replied to Chief “I cant go 4 that @ChiefKeef & i cant let the people i love, including you my ni–a, go 4 that either. We kings not f—ing savages and goons. i love u lil bruh @ChiefKeef… i really really do from the bottom of my f—ing heart. I know that street sh– like the back of my hand.”
He then wrote the cryptic message “My father i have spoken the truth to them yet it has only made my life in this world more troubled. I can bear this no longer … i have spoken peace only 2 receive vitriol and malice in return. My brother seeks destruction my sister seeks attention paths to nothingness. i’d die for them … but they’d probably spit on my grave … i still will die for them … just bury me in a place far from their reach … Amin.”
He ended it telling his fans that he will most likely be retiring from rap after the feud. “This album will probably be my last … its been a pleasure to have all my fans provide so much love an inspiration for me and my family,” he wrote. “But my heart is broken and i see no comfort further along this path only more pain. I cannot participate any longer in this … My first true love was literature so i will return to that … lupe fiasco ends here …”
