The Chicago rapper announced on his protected Twitter account that he’s officially retiring. Lupe Fiasco is apparently done with music. The claims stem from the following lyrics on “N.E.R.D.”: “Artist gettin’ robbed for their publishing / By dirty Jewish execs that think his alms from the covenant / I’ll retire when I’m tired, that’s a Firestone death.” Fiasco specifically aimed his ire at a DJ Booth article with the headline, ‘ Anti-Semitic Lyrics in “N.E.R.D.’ Freestyle Are Dangerous.” Read some of the tweets below.
