Lupe Fiasco Stunts On Fan After They Call His New Single 'Ass'
Lupe Fiasco seems to be in album mode once again, dropping off his second single of the month alongside a phrase many believe is the title of his next project.
On Friday (June 30), the Chicago-bred lyricist released the melodic and hi-hat-laden “Outside” with the tag: “All Proceeds To My Chain #APTMC.” A departure from his bar-heavy style, this cut features a noticeably limited vocabulary and thus has the crowd split.

Lupe announced the release of the song on social media and it has since generated quite a few negative reviews from fans. One Twitter user commented on Lupe’s post, writing: “this is ass, brother.”
Clearly unphased by the criticism, the 41-year-old wordsmith retweeted the remark with the following selfie:

In early June, the “Kick, Push” rapper decided to bless fans by playing a new song in the midst of a Twitter conversation. After tweeting about how an Apple update would get him in the studio, a fan responded by saying: “Long as we get more music.”
Lupe had the perfect reply – a retweet with a video of new material. Though he only previewed 30 seconds, the hard-hitting track includes a heavy violin presence and a catchy cadence.

A little over a week later, he dropped “Checkin.’” Though the two-and-a-half-minute joint isn’t the same song he previously teased on social media, it appears to be the first installment of a new album’s rollout.
All the signs currently point to Lupe working on new music, and as per his latest release, he seems to be flirting with a more pop-centered sound as opposed to his trademark academic style.

In another hilarious Twitter moment on Sunday (June 25), Lupe vented about Drake’s upper-echelon lifestyle. Quoting a tweet from a viral video about the Toronto native “dissing” ordinary people’s lives, the rapper noted that he even feels “guilty” about it.
“He makes me feel guilty for shit I didn’t even do and question the legitimacy of my ACTUAL responsibilities,” he joked.
