Tomato stops Lupe Fiasco show

Not-nice rapper Lupe Fiasco stopped a whole show in Salt Lake City on Saturday because someone chucked a tomato at him. Whilst the fruity red missile actually missed him ultimately, as seen in this fan-filmed clip at about 1.55, Fiasco took serious offence and cut the concert short.

On sidestepping the ‘attack’, according to The Salt Lake Tribune, “Fiasco pointed at the balcony, wiped himself off and called out the assailant as a “fat white bitch”.

He then ordered that the venue’s upper floors, where he thought the tomato had been thrown from, be emptied by security so he could continue. Despite staff managing to get most people to leave, amid angry jeers from the crowd, the Tribune reports that Fiasco nonetheless stormed off and didn’t come back.

Reflecting on the incident via his private Twitter feed, Fiasco is cited by All Hip Hop as saying: “The show was cancelled [even though] I asked for the balcony to be cleared just in case it was other snipers [who threw the tomato]”.

While on his erm… really ‘enlightened’ description of his “fat white bitch” non-assailant, he said: “I call her a fat white bitch cuz she was a fat white bitch… once you throw things you become a bitch… who just happens to be fat and white”.

Before adding the “disclaimer” that “this rhymer Lupe is not using bitch as lesson. I didn’t say stop using bitch. I gave you options. Tonight’s choice is BITCH”.

If only fat white bitches had better aim.
