While headlining at StartUp RockOn concert, an event in celebration of the President Obama’s re-election, Lupe Fiasco, who’s always got a political stance, performed his controversial anti-war song “Words I Never Said” off his album, Lasers. According to the tweets of The Cable’s Josh Rogin, “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.”
Was Lupe’s timing inappropriate or was it ignorant for the promoter to invite the rapper knowing his beliefs? These are probably the questions that run through the mind of anyone who are fans of both Obama and Lupe Fiasco at this time.
