Rapper Lupe Fiasco Rants Anti-Obama, Gets Pulled from Stage




(Washington, D.C.) During an inauguration event, rapper Lupe Fiasco was pulled off the stage by security guards because his performance criticized President Obama.

Fiasco, whose birth name according to the conservative Daily Caller website is Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, is a 30-year-old artist from Obama’s hometown of Chicago. He had been billed as the headline act at the StartUp RockOn inauguration concert event on Sunday.

In a statement released Monday as news of the incident spread, the organizers of the event insisted that he was not removed from the stage because of his acerbic attack on Obama but because his performance was judged “bizarrely repetitive” and “jarring.”

Heh.
