Lupe Fiasco's taking a strange approach to the promotion of his upcoming album, Tetsuo & Youth. This afternoon, he tweeted a photo of himself in full KKK attire with the caption “The friend of my enemy is my enemy. Tetsuo & Youth 1/20/2015" (view it below), a still taken from his 2013 video "1234."
It wasn't long before outraged responses popped on Fiasco's feed, including ones from Freddie Gibbs. Read his posts below.
[Update: Gibbs Apologizes]
Perhaps some of the holiday spirit got to Freddie Gibbs, because after lashing out at Lupe Fiasco yesterday afternoon, he's issued an apology via Twitter. After Lupe responded to Gibbs' complaints about his KKK photo, the Gary, Indiana rapper admitted that his comment was "out of line." Read their exchange below.
