Lupe Fiasco insists he's not feuding with Kendrick Lamar.
At the X-Space event over the weekend, the rapper was asked by a fan if he and Kendrick are still feuding.
In response, Lupe (real name Wasal Jaco) maintained that he has no issues with the Not Like Us rapper.
“I'm a Kendrick fan, but it's not just the music,” he declared. “I love his creativity and his conceptualization. And I love the decisions he makes. And I love the impact he's had on black culture. I love that he's an inspiration to black people. So I've never said I don't like him.”
The “Kick, Push” hitmaker continued, “Even though I don't like all his songs and I haven't listened to all of them, and I say the same about Drake, I understand the impact they've had on the culture and I would never, never, never, ever disrespect any of his songs because to me it's us first.”
Additionally, Lupe challenged fans to provide evidence of any discord.
“I don't have a problem with the guy. Show me where I clearly said I don't like him. Show me that and we can move on,” the 42-year-old insisted.
Kendrick, 37, has yet to respond to Lupe's comments.
During the conversation, Lupe said he wished he had access to a creative environment like that of Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), the record label that originally represented Kendrick.
“There's one thing I wish I had, and that's the open and vulnerable version of myself that I've always been like, 'Oh, I wish I could be that.' I wish I had the creative space that they created at TDE,” he added.
