Lupe reacted to the leak on Tuesday night (September 18) by asking Genius to remove the album’s lyrics from its platform. The site quickly obliged by taking down the pages.
Dear @genius can you please remove the lyrics from ANY SONGS from DROGAS WAVE from your site IMMEDIATELY. Please consider this an official request.
We’ve been cool since your jump…hope we can keep it that way.
👍🏾
