Fiasco replied that he was doing "[t]he same thing that I do with the money from my non-personalized verses," but offered no elaboration on what exactly that was - the obvious assumption being he was keeping the money.

Cudi found that objectionable. "To my fans; I dont know about this Lupe $500 verse sh*t. U should support his album but this idea seems a bit sketch. Do what U want tho."

Fiasco wasn't taking the bait but did fire back, throwing shade on Cudi's partnership with shoe designer Guiseppe Zanottis and implying that he was ripping off his fans in his own way.
