Lupe Fiasco has once again made his Twitter public and is naming the executives that wronged him.
The Atlantic artist claims that Lyor Cohen, Warner Music Group's former CEO, told Lupe "he may not honor the terms of an existing contract unless i signed a contract which changed the terms of the existing one," Lupe wrote.
In another tweet, Lupe called out Atlantic CEO, Craig Kallman, alleging that he "once negotiated a deal in secret which said I agreed to give away 85% of my pub rights to the song Airplanes to his producers." He also claimed that "Craig Kallman brought me my 360 deal while I was half naked recovering from Pneumonia in a hotel room in LA. It was surreal."
A fan then asked Lupe why no one had addressed these issue with the label. "Because the Jewish lawyer I hired to get me off Atlantic, was more interested in taking 5% of everything I did. He sent a bill for 100k," the rapper responded.
Earlier this week, the rapper canceled his new album and quit music after being accused of sending an anti-Semitic message on his new song, "N.E.R.D." You can read what Lupe had to say about the executives on Twitter below.
