Kendrick Lamar's recent remarks on the murder of Michael Brown started a few beefs with the likes of Azealia Banks and Lupe Fiasco. The rapper said the problem is part of a bigger issue that starts with African-American communities. Kid Cudi shared his opinion on the statement before Fiasco took issue with his tweets, starting a sub-beef of sorts, Vibe notes.
"I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it's already a situation, mentally, where it's f--ked up. What happened to [Michael Brown] should've never happened. Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting — it starts from within," Lamar told Billboard.
Cudi's rant started yesterday, Jan. 10, and Fiasco interrupted soon after.
"Dear black artists, dont talk down on the black community like you are Gods gift to n---az everywhere. If you wanna help, inspire, uplift, don't point the blame and talk down," he tweeted.
How about you stop s--tting on the people who really cared about your well being when this biz was ripping you apart. Fake ass @KidCudi

N---az be invalid because they don't really mean what they say. I hate n---az that are disloyal at they core then flex like they Gandhi FOH — Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) January 10, 2015
Fiasco said Cudi called him a "swindler" a few months ago. He added that he tried to get in contact with Cudi privately, but to no avail. Fiasco went on to call his contemporary "hypocritical" and a backstabber.
Love always, even for these knuckleheads.
