Lupe Fiasco is one of the most competitive MCs out there and an outspoken voice in the rap game, which naturally means he’s had a long string of clashes during his decade-plus in the rap game. From calling Obama a “terrorist” to hinting at Kendrick Lamar being a little more than influenced by him to putting on a KKK robe, he’s raised eyebrows with countless statements and actions. But now, he’s trying to make amends with “everyone he’s ever had a problem with,” as he stated in a lengthy Instagram Live clip. Well, almost everyone. The nearly hour-long live session was full of apologies. He admits that he “likes” Obama, but the 44th President caught collateral damage as the head of the Military Industrial Complex. “I should’ve kept my political opinion to myself,” Lupe said. “I come from radical politics, I don’t come from liberal, centrist politics. My response was in line with the revolutionary response and how people view America outside of America.” Still, he apologized because “I didn’t wanna mar his first Black president [status].”
He also apologized for his comments about Kendrick Lamar over the years, noting, “I get asked a lot what people think. My impetus [to critique Kendrick] was the ‘Control’ verse. You put yourself out there like that so you open yourself up for critique. Again, though, Lupe contends, “I should’ve just shut my f*ckin mouth.” He said similar regarding Chief Keef, with whom he said he’s squashed his beef after they went at it on Twitter in 2011, with Chief Keef saying he would slap him.
