Rapper Lupe Fiasco Booted Off Inaugural Party Stage After Criticizing Obama
Rapper Lupe Fiasco was escorted off stage by security during a performance at StartUp RockOn’s inauguration celebration Sunday night.
Even at an event celebrating President Obama’s second term, Lupe didn't hesitate to criticize the president, announcing that he did not vote for him. Thirty minutes into the anti-war song, Lupe was approached by guards and taken off stage.
But seriously....did he smoke some GUM? Dissing Obama in an event meant for Celebrating his second term? His lyrics on stage was:
"Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist, Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say sh**, that’s why I ain’t vote for him, next one, either, I’m part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful"
According to Foreign Policy’s Josh Rogin, Fiasco was told to move on to the next song and refused. Organizers say the Chicago rapper’s political views had nothing to do with the decision.
StartUp RockOn said in a statement.
“Lupe Fiasco performed at this private event, and as you may have read, he left the stage earlier than we had planned,”“But Lupe Fiasco was not ‘kicked off stage’ for an ‘anti-Obama rant.’ We are staunch supporters of free speech, and free political speech. This was not about his opinions. Instead, after a bizarrely repetitive, jarring performance that left the crowd vocally dissatisfied, organizers decided to move on to the next act.”
Ma Hear.....
