Lupe Fiasco Details His Gripes With 'Jewish' Record Executives & Lawyers

The lyrics to Lupe Fiasco's latest and possibly last track have gotten him accused of antisemitism.

“Artist gettin’ robbed for their publishing / By dirty Jewish execs that think his alms from the covenant," Lupe raps on N.E.R.D.

But he hasn't quit Twitter, and this afternoon he jumped on social media and detailed how he believes Jewish record executives Lyor Cohen, then the CEO of Warner, and Craig Kallman, then CEO of Atlantic, wronged him. He also threw in a nameless Jewish lawyer for good measure.

I've been labeled, stamped, called and accused of being everything under the sun...

But never a liar. — peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

Lyon Cohen told me he may not honor the terms of an existing contract unless i signed a contract which changed the terms of the existing one

Craig Kallman once negotiated a deal in secret which said I agreed to give away 85% of my pub rights to the song Airplanes to his producers

Why has no one gotten at Atlantic for this nonsense yet man???? https://t.co/68ZnnNPs3X

Because the Jewish lawyer I hired to get me off Atlantic, was more interested in taking 5% of everything I did. He sent a bill for 100k https://t.co/BYYHrVZxZk

Which represented 5% of the concerts I did while I had him on retainer. CONCERTS WHICH HE NEVER HANDLE CONTRACTS FOR @EverSoGabe

He said "what are you gonna do sue me? I'm a lawyer I'll win" he then felt so guilty he offered me 10% of my own money back @EverSoGabe

Food & Liquor. I asked Lyor for my masters as real equity in their nutty 360 deal experiment. He smirked & said "what? Like in a suitcase?" https://t.co/5dFXCKSXcT

@LupeFiasco what exactly is a 360 deal? Ayesha explained it to me once but I'm still not keen.

It's deal where an artist gives up 25% & up of EVERYTHING they do (touring, merch, pub) for large but FULLY RECOUPABLE check from the label https://t.co/g3Ln6I2BCG

The catch is that the label is getting more for the same amount of loan in market areas that it has no experience in. It's a fools deal. https://t.co/0kaS5yyMrD

Nope. Craig Kallman brought me my 360 deal while I was half naked recovering from Pneumonia in a hotel room in LA. It was surreal. https://t.co/elEZuAtJan

Not if you sign a 360 deal. If you got a sneaker sponsorship or a role on a tv show they have rights to a percentage of that money. https://t.co/ryefaRv7Yw

Because some poor ass singer who was just sleeping on a studio floor eating ramen gets offered a million dollar check with 135% interest https://t.co/SqQvEdXSkI

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

Yup. Clever right? It's was they would call internally a "Freier's deal" in Jewish business circles. https://t.co/wbYIeRl5em

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

@LupeFiasco @WardDeandra but you didn't sign the 360, right? so does it matter?

— Scotticus (@yoItsScotticus) December 14, 2016

Because I didn't sign the 360 (which I offered to improve and make fair and less theoretical) I was personally punished ruthlessly by them. https://t.co/FQIyiQMPOY

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

Lyor's exact words 2 me in regards 2 my 360 deal were "if you grow cotton, why would you want to grow grapes?" @yoItsScotticus @WardDeandra

I don't tolerate REAL anti-semitism But I will not stand by as injustices based on a doctrine of "chosen & divine" rights are perpetuated https://t.co/HkIc6weKUM

I'm not gonna undo my reality for the sake of receiving a good boy pass because a misguided ADL thinks they can redefine truth as racism https://t.co/J1tIo1UYaG

@LupeFiasco possible there are evil and vile non jewish music executives looking to take advantage of musicians?

— RHONDA (@RhondaD01) December 14, 2016

You mean those dirty ass black execs who only sign female artists to fuck them in the microphone booth? https://t.co/4wWCTkEUa6

We dont run the music bizness. Nor do we have anything near the influence or power structure the Jewish community has in biz @uncoeuraweigh

— peace (@LupeFiasco) December 14, 2016

@LupeFiasco @uncoeuraweigh Not calling you anti-semetic, but you have still not justified the need for the descriptor "Jewish" in your line.

Because they were Jewish. https://t.co/v3NiJniy5A
