Chi-town
rapper Lupe Fiasco recently spoke out about his distaste about his
music is being leaked the public without his permission. 

 

Allhiphop
reports that the track “I’m Beaming” was leaked on Christmas Eve
night by a unknown party. The rapper says that he has planned to pursue
legal action to find out who leaked the track and to press charges against the
individual(s) responsible, as the rapper has claimed the track to be
stolen property.

 

About
the track being unintentionally released, Fiasco wrote this message to his fans
on his blog.

 

“A
lot of time and energy goes into the creation of this music, not to mention
large sums of money, money provided by my record company as well as from my own
personal finances,” he explained. “My music is the product of my
life. It means so much to me. I take pride in it and I also take pride in how
it changes peoples lives and gives them hope. So to see it treated in this
manner really numbs the soul. So many of my family and friends rely on me for
their well-being and I rely on my music to give me the opportunities that allow
me to provide for them.”

 

He
also made a plea to his fans not to purchase, distribute, or endorse any
illegally released material of his.

 

Fiasco
also went on to state that he takes the situation very personal in regards to
the fact that he believes his first album was massively pirated and
illegally downloaded prior to its official release.

 

He then
compared the situation to the kidnapping of a family member, or a house
robbery.

 

“And
for those of you unsympathetic enough not to understand I can only compare it
to someone breaking into your house and stealing everything not tied down or
someone kidnapping your sister or brother and ransoming them back to you,”
Fiasco aruged. “A deep sense of helplessness. I hope you never have to
feel this and I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
