Lupe Fiasco is no stranger to controversy and he has been one of the most outspoken rappers on and off Twitter. From his comments regarding Eminem's "Rap God", to calling Dizaster an "angry Drake", to having a friendly battle rap with Daylyt, Lupe has shown the game that he's not one to back down from letting his voice be heard.

And now, Lupe has taken it one step further and began questioning how the social networking behemoth Twitter generates its income, and offered insight on how he's able to make money using Twitter.

"It's not me ranting. It's really just looking at it like 'Wow, Twitter's public. What do they make their money off of?' They're trading at like 45 dollars a share," said the Chicago emcee on Houston's 95.7.

He would additionally go on to elaborate on the business, saying, "And you just think like—and it was 26 this morning. So, right now it's 45 dollars a share. And you think like, 'What are they making their money off of?' They're making their money off of tweets. So, you're like 'Yo, what is my tweet worth? Like, what's a tweet worth? How do you really monetize a tweet?'"

Furthermore, Lupe would explain to the Houston radio show how he gets his hustle on Twitter, "And for me it's like I just use Twitter to promote shows or promote albums or promote my merchandise...If I get one person to buy a t-shirt from Twitter then this tweet is worth 30 dollars."
