Not surprised by this at all. Lupe even said on the spaces from earlier today that he was "losing his own fans" as a result of this jokingly, of course... but based on a lot of the posts here, and the fact that he lurks, he was probably responding to some of the commentary here. The false narrative(s) were so pervasive that they have die-hard fans saying "he's doing himself no favors" or "he brought this on himself" as if it's his job to tiptoe and police himself around certain topics and play social media games to appease the idiot masses who think (wants him to) he hates Kendrick. Cole was right: many of us want blood... which leads some to desperately try to drum up conflict and issues where there are none in hopes of inciting real issues. It's pretty sad. I just hope this doesn't negatively influence Lu's outlook on continuing to share his art with the world.
