Lupe Fiasco “Officially Not Releasing Music Anymore,” “Albums Cancelled”
Last night, Lupe Fiasco posted a new track to SoundCloud called “N.E.R.D.,” which features the instrumental from J. Cole’s new track “Everybody Dies.” The song features this line: “Artists gettin’ robbed for their publishing/By dirty Jewish execs who think that it’s alms from the covenant.” After spending the night sparring with fans on Twitter, arguing that the line wasn’t anti-Semitic, he made a broad announcement this morning: “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 set his Twitter account to private.
Lupe also said that “N.E.R.D.” had been removed from SoundCloud for “hate speech,” but the song still appears to be streaming here. Find the track…
