Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco has provided some context to what caused an unexpected rift between himself and ex-G.O.O.D. Music artist Kid Cudi.
After outlining how he met Cudder when he worked at a clothing store and dished on his music, Lupe referred to a past Twitter conversation causing problems.
“I told my fans, ‘Yo, if you want a Lupe verse, I’ll write it for you for $500. It’ll be yours; you can’t put it on Twitter — it’s yours. Don’t leak the sh*t or do whatever; it’s yours.’ And Cudi went on Twitter and was like, ‘Yo, Lupe, what you gonna do with that money?’ I’m like, ‘N*gga, it’s $500, the f*ck you talking about?’ I’m thinking he joking. I’m like, ‘Bro, what you mean?’ … He stopped tweeting at me – then I caught wind of all these Cudi fans like, ‘F*ck Lupe.’ I look at what this n*gga wrote and he’s like ‘Lupe’s trying to swindle his fans, I would never do my fans like that'” (“Sway In The Morning”)

Lupe fast-forwarded to now and offered Cudder a chance to squash their problem before things potentially turn uglier.
“I [told my friend], ‘Yo, gimme this b*tch a** n*gga Cudi’s number, if I see him, I’m knockin’ him the f*ck out. ‘Cause I wanna get to the bottom of what the f*ck you talkin’ about because it’s me. The same n*gga you went in Complex and was like, one of the only n*ggas who reached out to me genuinely and had love for me was Lupe. But now I’m some f*ckin’ thief? Now I can’t find you? Nobody knows where you are? And then you come back with talking about how n*ggas should act and operate in the business? N*gga shut the f*ck up ’cause I’ve been trying to find you and couldn’t find you for six months. … Cudi, let’s settle this before I f*ck you up!” (“Sway In The Morning”)
Earlier this month, Cudi threw himself into a Twitter feud involving Lupe and hip-hop artist Azealia Banks.
Dear black artists, dont talk down on the black community like you are Gods gift to niggaz everywhere.

Lupe kept the fire going with remarks geared at Cudder.

I remember that twitter convo. cuddi was going in on lupe for that swindling shit. I think if you genuinely love your fans you shouldnt charge for verses (or that much) but business is business
$500 for a verse is a lot? Nigga…
minimum wage niggas lost their minds when they saw that price tag LOL…but slap an Air Jordan Jumpman on it and they’ll find the money for it smh
Ikr it’s local artists in the hood that charge way over $509 for a verse
Yea it actually is, considering tht like atleast 90% of indie rappers dont make a dime.
….indie artist… Grammy winning artist… I guess in your mind set they are the same thing. Let me just give Jay-Z and a Kanye West a call. I got $500 for them, I’m sure they will give me a verse
Fuck Lupe for the lame idea and he wasn’t talking tough to chief keef and cudi should just mind his business before he get the business
tony you so tough
“I will personalize a 1 verse song for you. $500. You pick the instrumental, mood & subject. 1 physical copy which you must come pick up,” – Lupe Fiasco…………sounds like a pretty damn good deal to me if you’re a Lupe fan.
500 for a verse? Shit I wish I would’ve caught that! I’m not a big lupe fan but I feel where he coming from.
Ya’ll sound crazy hell….500 for a verse? Local niggas in your hood charge 500 for a verse. That ain’t NOTHING…….this shit sound crazy. Cudi didn’t even want to pay 500? That’s essentially like doing a verse free.

Music industry getting so corny now. Everyones against everyone. Grown dudes having falling outs about absolutely nothing. It’s gay .. and quite frankly they dont need to even show L&HH episodes on VH1. Just go on twitter, instagram, facebook, etc and it unfolds for the entire world to see. But I get it publicity sells but havent these cats taken a page from Tupac and BIG. These two r&b iggaz need to stop the show.

I thought Lupe Fiasco was a Muslim, if so why is he engaging in childish arguments on twitter?
Fuck twitter beefs, if you a rapper and you have an issue with another rapper make a diss record. These wack ass rappers now a days are scared to do diss records, because they have no lyrical ability, so they whine like little bitches on twitter.

I agree,,,diss records please,,but I think this new generation of fans made diss records uncool,, so signed artists started talking that”i don’t do diss records” bs,,and im not talking bout how everbody chilled after the biggie/tupac eas/west drama,,im talking the last ten years or so
oh and for the record cudi don’t want it,,and doesn’t do meaningful hiphop on any level
