Chief Keef Threatens To Smack Lupe Fiasco, Lupe Responds With Love

Chicago's hip-hop scene is heating up, and not necessarily because of the music. Earlier today, the city's newest wunderkid Chief Keef took to Twitter to diss Lupe Fiasco, likely in response to his recent comments that Keef and the generation he represents "scares" him. The 18-year-old Interscope signee threatened to "smack" Lupe, and referred to him as a "hoe ass n***a" and a "lil bitch."

Lupe fiasco a hoe ass nigga And wen I see him I'ma smack him like da lil bitch he is #300

Mr. Fiasco was not slow to respond, only the MC, famed for his socially conscious outlook, fought hate with love--and rightfully so. In a series of tweets addressed directly to Keef, the rapper stated his love for the young Chicago kid, expressed empathy towards his circumstances and urged him to take a different approach in life. You can read his wise words below:

i love u lil bruh @chiefkeef...i really really do from the bottom of my fucking heart. I know that street shit like the back of my hand.

Chief Keef has since claimed his Twitter account was hacked; not directly making reference to the situation with Lupe, but certainly insinuating his innocence in the war of words. Let's just hope this means the potential beef has been thrown off the heat before it could cook. You can read his tweet below:

my twitter has been hacked I think I'm making a new one dumb hating ass people #DontWannaSeeAYougNiggaShine
