Lupe Fiasco knows how speaking out and giving his unfiltered opinion has cost him opportunities throughout his career. During an Instagram Live session on Wednesday night (September 16), the Chicago native reflected on the time he lost out on a Ferrari partnership because he called Barack Obama a “terrorist.”
The controversial statement happened during a 2011 appearance on What’s Trending with Shira Lazar.
He rehashed his thoughts about Ferrari when condemning some of the luxury brands people align themselves with such as Rolex simply for social status.
“Ferraris are garbage,” he claims. “They’re garbage. This is from a guy who had a Ferrari deal on the table until I fucking called Obama a terrorist, then I lost all that shit. But that shit’s garbage. How do I know? I had four of them.”
