Lupe Fiasco 'Announces Retirement At US Gig'

US rapper Lupe Fiasco is reported to have told fans at a gig in America that his next album would be his last.

The rapper announced that 'LupEND' would be a triple-album and that 'END' stands for "everywhere," "nowhere" and "down here”.

Fiasco's record label, Atlantic, has declined to comment on the reports.

In December last year the rapper told Billboard that 'LupEND would be the title of his final album.

"When you play a videogame, you can only put in three letters for your name and when the game's over, those three letters and 'END' pop up. My next record might be my last one,” he said.

In another interview, he revealed that he had suffered health problems as a result of “running so hard doing music”.
