http://potholesinmyblog.com/video-lupe-fiasco-kicked-off-stage-for-anti-obama-comments-during-inaugural-performance/When it comes to politics, Lupe Fiasco‘s been increasingly outspoken over the years. His biggest anti-everything statement came on the bombastic “Words I Never Said”, which features lyrics against President Barack Obama, former President George W. Bush, and the U.S.’s policies on a slew of topics. With that in mind, would you book the Chicago rapper for a performance meant to celebrate Obama’s reelection? Probably not.
But that’s just what some folks did for an event at Hamilton Live in Washington, D.C. Last night, Lupe took the stage and apparently performed “Words I Never Said” for 30 minutes straight. Upon realizing that he wasn’t moving along in his set, security guards approached Lu and promptly ended his set.
The following tweets are from Foreign Policy reporter Josh Rogin, who was at the event.

Lupe Fiasco just got thrown off stage here at the Hamilton Live after he went on an anti-Obama diatribe mid set.

So Lupe played one anti-war song for 30 min and said he didn't vote for Obama and eventually was told to move on to the next song.

Lupe refused to move to the next song so a team of security guards came on stage and told him to go.
