Hopsin has always been a little off the wall but many in the hip-hop media seem to think that his latest social media message where he claims to be leaving the industry is for real. According to a post on his Facebook page this week the Los Angeles rapper is quitting and moving to Australia (the home of his girlfriend).
The full story (via HotNewHipHop):
"I just wanted to take time out to say I appreciate all of u who have supported my music over these past few years. A Lot of u have told me stories about how I have changed your life. You too have changed mine in ways that u can never imagine. Unfortunately, tonight is the night that I am actually moving away to Australia. Over the past couple years I have come to conclusion that this profession just isn't for me, so im going to venture out into new areas of life. I will always be an MC at heart, but this rap stuff just isn't for me. I hope Youguys can respect it. I've signed over my half of the funk volume label to my business partner Dame. I also wished Swizzz, Dizzy Wright and Jarren Benton good luck in their careers. Thank u all! I'm out."
The most telling portion of the speech is his claims that he's signed over his half of the Funk Volume label over to Damien "Dame" Ritter. The pair started the label after Hopsin had a falling out with his first label, Ruthless. An Instagram photo showed the emcee at an airport.
Hopsin last released an album with 2013's Knock Madness.
