Rapper Lupe Fiasco Criticizes Obama at Pre-Inauguration Concert
Bounced for his troubles
Rapper Lupe Fiasco was thrown offstage and escorted off the premises of a Washington, D.C. concert hall during a pre-inauguration concert Sunday night, after going on an anti-war, anti-Obama rant, according to concertgoers.
Josh Rogin, a reporter with Foreign Policy magazine, tweeted late Sunday, "Lupe Fiasco just got thrown off stage here at the Hamilton Live after he went on an anti-Obama diatribe mid set."

It would have been like having Jay-Z and Beyonce perform for Mitt Romney's inauguration, or better the last Bush one.
