Lupe Fiasco Retires & Cancels All Albums After Anti-Semitic Controversy
At the beginning of the year, Lupe Fiasco announced that he would release three albums in 2016. In October, he revealed that he might not get to release any projects before the year's end, due to clearance issues. Now, he says he's done for good.
This isn't the first time Lupe has announced his retirement, of course, though he seems serious this time. Before making his account private, Lupe tweeted,
Lupe's sudden declaration of retirement comes a day after he released a new song, "N.E.R.D.," a freestyle over J. Cole's "Everybody Dies." The song was controversial due to one lyric that many perceived to be anti-Semitic: "Artist gettin' robbed for their publishing / By dirty Jewish execs that think his alms from the covenant."
