i know it seems like a dumb question, but his name sounds foreign, like maybe he's part latino or something.

Wikipedia says that he is African-American. And Lupe Fiasco isn't his real name, it is his stage name. His real name is Wasalu Muhammad Jaco.

His real name is Wasalu Muhammad Jaco. He's a Muslim African-American rapper. Growing up, Wasalu had the nickname of "Lu", the last part of his first name. The "Lupe" portion is an extension of this nickname, which he borrowed from a friend named Lupe from high school. The "Fiasco" portion came from his simply looking at the song "Firm Fiasco" from the album by the rap group The Firm and liking the way the 'fiasco' looked on paper

He was on David Letterman. I honestly think it's the group's name, and not his... but maybe I'm wrong...
