US rapper Lupe Fiasco performs during the Hip Hop 50 Live concert, marking the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip hop, at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx borough of New York City on August 11, 2023. A genre, a culture and a lifestyle all at once: hip hop has traveled from the block party to the billionaire's club, soundtracked protest and celebration, and asserted seismic influence over the course of pop. The reigning music style evolved in rapid, anarchic ways, rocking the industry establishment that long resisted its power, and fully embodying the culture of youth even as it grew. This year hip hop turns 50, an anniversary that's offered its elders, its fans and the city that birthed it a milepost to reflect on its cultural weight.

The beef has been going on for nearly a decade

Earlier today a new interview of Kid Cudi hit the internet. He sat down with Zane Lowe of Apple Music to discuss his new album INSANO and a number of other subjects. During the interview, Cudi tells a story about Lupe Fiasco, who he's publicly had a beef with for years now. The new story was about a time that Lupe came into the Bape story Cudi was working at before he was famous. "I was in the back and they were like, 'Yo, Lupe's here.' I was like, 'Oh, sh*t.' Stayed down the stairs, waited until he left. They were like, 'What you down here for?'" Cudi detailed. ""I explained it to my dude the same way I explained it to you. I was like, 'Yo, bro, if I get famous one day, I don't ever want this n*gga saying like, 'He sold me clothes. You my son.'"

Clearly, Lupe Fiasco caught wind of his comments pretty quickly and they didn't sit right with him. Lupe didn't hold anything back in his first tweet responding to the situation. "Kid Cudi is a b*tch. And continues to be a b*tch. Ain’t nobody finna bring up he used to work at the Bape Store to diss his b*tch ass for having a regular job before he was a famous b*tch with a cool job," his response tweet read. The profanity laced tweet turned out to not be an outlier as it served as the first in a long series of attacks going on all day. Check out the first tweet that started the rant below.

Lupe Fiasco/Kid Cudi Beef Continues

In successive tweets Lupe elaborated on his feelings and where they came from. First, he claimed that he wanted to beat Cudi up which caught some fans off guard, though others found it funny. Next he told the entire story of how their beef started. He explained that he was a fan of Cudi initially and reached out to him while he was dealing with difficult times.

But when Cudi brought up money in a strange tweet aimed at Lupe things went sour and never recovered. What do you think of Lupe Fiasco re-igniting his beef with Kid Cudi through an explosive series of tweets? Let us know in the comment section below.
