Lupe Fiasco Gives His Opinion On Obama, Gets Removed Off Stage in DC (Video)

Lupe Fiasco has always been a critic of President Obama, or for any President of the USA, so while performing at an inauguration event for the President, he gets removed from the stage for reportedly announcing that he didn't vote for Obama for the 2012 election, and spent more than 30 minutes performing an anti-war song.

The Event Organizer stated:
StartUp RockOn is all about startups helping startups. At Sunday night’s Inauguration Celebration at the Hamilton Live, organizers set out to honor innovative visionaries with grants, accolades and a party worthy of the success we achieved at the RNC and DNC this summer. Lupe Fiasco performed at this private event, and as you may have read, he left the stage earlier than we had planned. But Lupe Fiasco was not “kicked off stage” for an “anti-Obama rant.” We are staunch supporters of free speech, and free political speech. This was not about his opinions. Instead, after a bizarrely repetitive, jarring performance that left the crowd vocally dissatisfied, organizers decided to move on to the next act. The party continued as planned, and we celebrated the announcement of CodeNow’s winning the Grant Challenge. CodeNow is a non-profit startup based in Washington DC that teaches “underrepresented high school students basic skills in computer programming.
