Lupe Fiasco deletes derogatory MK tweet after being challenged by SonicFox

WakeUp DP

GT MK OshTekk.
Yeah but NRS is starting to develop a pattern where the next game comes out like 2-3 years after a game is released. SF4 was around for like 7-8 years before SF5 came out. If MKX was like that I'd be totally happy, but we'd have to wait and see - especially with these Injustice 2 rumours floating around
They were about 7 major updates to SF4, I bet you MK9 would had lasted much longer if updated almost every other year.

tbh i dont see your point at all? this is a video GAME forum, MKX fans forum, not a life advice forum so your comment is kinda dumb
I don't see the point of some of the attacks at him like he really going to respond. He aint got time for us unless there is money invovled. Dude is a business man.

He paid to win a match, then talked bad about another group. He doesn't have to respond to anything, but the public have every right to go after him through social media because his success in this platform is fake. In the rap community, his words may carry some weight - but here, they mean nothing - and he poked the rhino.

I'm thinking of this as a business minded person. Now as a pure gamer and love for MK, then yes I got a little bummed about it. I hate Capcom eltist comments but I know he aint going to accept my challenge to play. He poke at us and we will attack but I know well enough he wont respond unless there is money for him.

Now he did mention during the SFV promo he didnt play SF since SF2 for Supernintendo or Sega, so thats is a Red Flag he aint serious about Capcom fighting games. At least I play the others growing up, and that was just causally the AI, haha! So you really think he will accept Sonic Fox challenge?? Nope! Yes we must defend our game, but you know a celebrity won't respond unless they really do care about the FGC. But honestly it's about the money. Hell Snoop Dogg play Madden and won't accept my invite, so you know.

Lol so in other words, this Lupe guy sucks in mkx. Id be willing to bet nearly anything sonic would get farther in sf5 tourney than Lupe gets in mkx one.

NRS should be like, hey Lupe if mkx was unfinished would you play it?:p

For the record..if Lupe to chicken to play you, since he is clearly not a true gamer then @SonicFox5000 then I will. It be a fun experience to play the best. I love a challenge and don't getting beat up a bit to get better.

Got no issue with this dude or his music.
Just the shit talk that we have already heard before. All in good fun. Whats the harm in a little video game twitter beef.
Say what u want to say about mkx but dont delete it when you get called out.
He likely deleted it because he was having a completely separate conversation with some dude who called him out to play Madden and didn't intend for nerds to blow up like this.

I don't expect him to accept it or even answer, but the know-nothing apologists can go take a long walk off a short pier.

Lupe Fiasco is a douchebag.

Sonic Fox isn't hard to get a match with. If you challenge him online and he's got the time, you'll get him. Just don't come with stipulations or try setting up a time around your schedule and you might get a game with the GOAT.

Have self-awareness though. You want to be at least good enough to keep him interested for a few games.

His words were mortal kombat is for people who cant play street fighter.
All im saying is think before you diss something on social media for the world to see. Because you look a bit silly talking shit then deleting the tweet when you get called out.

The boy grew up, realized that too much BS was around for his games, went aggressive and now he will dare represent them in hostile territory...

I'm proud and hyped

We're all from Earthrealm. If not, cool pic brah.
So what Lupe can't play MK at a high level. He still got more money then most of us here will ever see in our lives. At the end of the day, this is a video game. He is finaically secure and living life.
Reading some of these comments is hilarious. Lupe accomplished real life achievements. Not some video game glory, oh and the dude is paid! He dont have to prove Sonic Fox a damn thing. I would love to just travel around the world like he does.

Real life achievements>video games
typical fanboy shi right here. No matter what someone says, even if they are on some undeniably real dumb shit, theres always that one even bigger idiot who points to his money and says "you can't disagree with him! he's richer than you!" even when its completely in every way unrelated to the topic at hand

RIP Akira Toriyama
The fight between Daigo and Lupe was so fucking fake, you'd have to be mentally challenged to believe Lupe actually won. Throwing random SRK's like a little scrub. It was so sad to look at I can't even express.

At that level, I'd KO him 20-0 in SFV. Let alone SonicFox and the like.

I'm being honest! Aint no fan boy shit. He will only play, like the typical celebrities vs gamers routune, if there is money involved. He dont have to prove anything to us, we all now who will win. We don't bend over for celebs in MK house.

There's thread after thread about this victim complex the MK community wants to continue to propogate. It's pathetic. Instead of buying into this sort of childish bullshit from stream monsters and people insecure about how well received MKX has been, why don't you take the high road like that NRS tweet exemplified? The sooner people who have an Anti--MK agenda determine that their antics aren't rustling your jimmies, the sooner it stops. Instead you have people making asses of themselves by saying "1v1 me bro" like that stupid shit is gonna put a stop to this us vs them mentality.
Let me start by Saying I agree with u in what u sed butttttt...l
As a fan of mkx and other midway /nrs games someone who has over 1 million followers (lupe)!trolling or not said something negative which can effect the entire fgc in regard to growth.Not to even mention nrs has like a 10th of followers compared to him being an "artist" . This is why many got tight. U notice he deleted his tweets right??? He shitted on this community when both capcom and nrs players should unite( trolling or not) Most of those followers follow him for his music and not his fgc skills. He just "beat" (or paid) the beast. Come on this (his trolling bout mkx)hurts nrs and mkx sales imo which may factor into additional support for mkxl. Soooo yeah many care this is not 1 guy with 5 followers...

Maybe us nrs fans are sick and tiered of the bs. And want to say fuck this bs. Again sonic challenged him in sfv and he rAn. Fuck promotions he's a rapper where the fuck is his "rep"? Or "credibility "someone called u out. Plus the disrespect to evo champs smfh from a fgc fan is crAzy. Say what u want bout this post but he lost a fan and others he's a "hadoken boy... Let's all move on guys.. But it's still bs.

In closing think of it this way if nrs had method man (from wu tang) beat sonic dox then talk shit about sf that shit would be front pages on mad sites smfh..

Just my opinion. Maybe b4 his match capcom should of talked to him. Who knows again my opinion but he lost a fan/follower for his bs tweets.

1 last thing @STORMS thanks for posting this and front paging it. Regardless of staff comments I always knew I liked u and @Tim Static for a reason ;)(no offense)

I used to watch Baltimore Colts games with Johnny Unitas and Artie Donovan when I was a youngster.
I'm casual acquaintances with lots of former and current Eagle players.
I trashed Mike Mamula in a bar fight many years ago and he actually missed the next game because of it.
I knew Kevin Hart when he was a little kid. He was funny back then too.
I'm distant cousins with both Dan Marino and Jennifer Garner.
I've met many Wu members as I've trained Combined Fist Shaolin Kung Fu under ODB and Rza's uncle for many years.
Shout out to Timbo KIng - the most under-rated Wu affiliate.

None of this crap matters here on NRS or in the FGC.

In the FGC, Sonic Fox is the MK GOAT and Lupe Fiasco is just a shit talking scrub who runs and hides when presented with a real challenge.

Lupe, you suck at SFV. Every member of this site could beat you easily in SFV - and this isn't even an SF site. Take your bought win over Daigo and go away, forever...

Thanks Sonic Fox for standing up for us.

If MC Hammer said he'd body Michael Jordan at Soccer. I wonder what community would get upset. Soccer fans, Jordan Fans, or Hammer fans for wasting everyone's time? The world will never know cause it doesn't matter. Lupe will probably drop a song called "Social Rejects" using the twitter hate he gets as the "prop"
