Lupe Fiasco Removed from Stage After Anti-Barack Obama Comments
As we know, music and politics don’t go always hand in hand. The latest example just arrived
As we know, music and politics don’t go always hand in hand. The latest example just arrived tonight when Lupe Fiasco made some controversial comments about President Barack Obama during his performance at Hamilton Live in Washington, D.C. honoring Obama’s reelection. The Chicago rapper performed “Words I Never Said,” a single from his third LP Lasers, and stated that he did not vote for Obama in November. Consequently, Lupe was asked to leave the stage. Washington journalist Josh Rogin documented the events on his Twitter as you can see below. Expect more details to arrive real soon.

So Lupe played one anti-war song for 30 min and said he didn’t vote for Obama 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.
