Offset recently sat down for an interview with Ebro Darden for Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning. During their conversation, the Migos rap star proclaimed “older artists should kiss Migos’ feet” for propelling Hip Hop to forefront.
Lupe Fiasco evidently took issue with his sentiments. Over the weekend, the Food & Liquor mastermind scolded Offset for using the term “kissing feet.” He pointed out it isn’t a symbol of admiration or respect, it’s more like a subservient gesture intended to humiliate the delivering party.
In the lengthy Instagram post, he also called for unity in Hip Hop.
“Firstly let me say that I’m a huge fan of the Migos (specifically Emitt Smith & Fight Night. Also when I go to the club I only really get up and dance dance my little dance to Migos. True story),” Lupe begins. “Secondly let me say that the only visceral problem with brother offsets statement is the use of the cliche ‘kissing feet.’
“That’s not a sign of respect that’s an act of subjugation of something lower to something higher and as Busta Rhymes told me when it comes to rap there are no classes, or superiors vs inferiors. We are all a team. Each with individual attributes that add their special skill set and energy to the whole.”
Lupe continued by reminding Offset current analytics don’t erase the groundwork laid down by Hip Hop’s pioneers. He also pointed out Hip Hop is a culture and not just about selling albums.
