Well, this is sudden. Lupe Fiasco just revealed on his private Twitter account that he's completely done making music. 

Yesterday (Dec. 12), the MC dropped a track called "N.E.R.D.," which has the same instrumental as J. Cole's "Everybody Dies." The controversial lyrics drew some backlash, as people heard him saying what many would deem anti-Semitic, something that the MC denies. “Artists gettin’ robbed for their publishing/By dirty Jewish execs who think that it’s alms from the covenant,” he spits on it.

Since the song's release, people have been coming for Fiasco on Twitter for his harsh words. Well, it looks like the MC has gotten sick of all of the commotion. So, he abruptly admitted that he's retiring after arguing with people all night. 

Read his tweets revealing this below. 

Well then...bye???
