Days after stating that Australian musician Iggy Azalea “has a place in HipHop,” rapper Lupe Fiasco engaged in a Twitter rant yesterday (December 22) after being criticized over his comment. Lupe’s rant also came hours after Azalea thanked both him and will.i.am for defending her.
At the start of his tweets, the Chicago, Illinois wordsmith stated that “Its unbelievable how unbelievable this is. I thought I was helping. I thought I was one of the good guys.”
My mind is bending. I don’t get it. Its unbelievable how unbelievable this is. I thought I was helping. I thought I was one of the good guys
