Rapper Lupe Fiasco was thrown offstage and escorted off the premises of a Washington, D.C. concert hall during a pre-inauguration concert Sunday night, after going on an anti-war, anti-Obama rant, according to concertgoers.
Josh Rogin, a reporter with Foreign Policy magazine, tweeted late Sunday, “Lupe Fiasco just got thrown off stage here at the Hamilton Live after he went on an anti-Obama diatribe mid set.”
“So Lupe played one anti-war song for 30 min and said he didn’t vote for Obama,” he continued, ”and eventually was told to move on to the next song…Lupe refused to move to the next song so a team of security guards came on stage and told him to go.”
Another attendee at the StartUp RockOn event tweeted, “Things going terribly wrong at @lupefiasco performance during#SURO. Kicked off stage, bashing obama…”
Lyrics:
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit, Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets, How much money does it take to really make a full clip, 9/11 building 7 did they really pull it, Uh, And a bunch of other cover ups, Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts, If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the upper-cut, The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up. Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the upper-crust, You get it then they move it so you never keeping up enough, If you turn on TV all you see is a bunch of “what the fucks” Dude is dating so and so blabbering about such and such, And that ain't Jersey Shore, homie that's the news, And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth, Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist, Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say shit. That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either, I’m a part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful, And I believe in the people.
