A Timeline Of Lupe Fiasco’s Obsession With Conspiracy Theories

No one should be shocked that the rapper was removed from the stage at an inauguration concert Monday for speaking out against President Obama. He actually has a long history of 9/11-trutherism and a fervent belief in the Illuminati.

In 2008, Lupe Fiasco took time out at the end of his Letterman performance to tell the audience "No New World Order."

"New World Order" refers to a conspiracy theory which insists that a cabal of the rich and powerful are working to create a totalitarian world government.

Lazar asked him about how politics informs his music:

"No, I don't vote... I don't get involved in politics. It's meaningless. If I'm going to say I stand behind this person and write on a piece of paper that says, 'Yeah, I stand for this person,' then I have to take responsibility for everything he does cause that's just who I am as a human being. So politicians aren't going to do that because I don't want you to bomb some village in the middle of nowhere."
