“To Lupe's defense...He's seeing it from one angle. I travel internationally, so I see what Obama's doing for the U.S. Hes actually changed the whole image of the United States...If Obama could have his way without the Republicans in his way, a different phrase would have came from Lupe’s mouth.” - Akon, when asked about Lupe Fiasco calling Barack Obama “The biggest terrorist.”

Video: Lupe Fiasco on 'O'Reilly Factor'

By now, you've probably seen the interview in which Lupe Fiasco calls Barack Obama a terrorist. The comment stirred up some controversy and soon after Bill O'Reilly got involved, claiming that Lupe wouldn't appear on his show because he couldn't possibly defend his statement.

Then he called Lu a pinhead. Earlier today, Mr. Fiasco made his appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, where he attempted to explain his point of view. Watch the segment above.

Although the single didn't quite climb up the charts the way they intended, nearly five months after its release, Lupe Fiasco's "The Show Goes On" finally went platinum. The Lasers' single is currently number 24 on the Billboard Top 100. This marks the second time a Lupe single has sold a million copies, the first being "Superstar" which featured Matthew Santos.
