Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco is going to let his music do the talking from now on after announcing a departure from Twitter this week.
Lupe claimed the need for music promotion inspired his initial presence on Twitter and revealed he would fall back from the social media platform.
When you get the chance look at my timeline. It's like looking into Dante's Inferno. The raw pure hatred and negativity. I see it everyday.

I never look away from it. Its the truth of humanity. A truth that I asked to see the minute I decided to stand up for the good in this life

These are my last few days addressing the public directly. Im not tired. I could carry on for years. I just really want to do something else

I never really liked dealing with the public. My recording career thus far put me in a place where i had to for promotion etc

Now that my contract is over and I have other things that I'd rather be doing I get to make the decision to go back to the shadows.
