In addition to falling victim to several lyrical blows at the hands of Drake, it appears that Philly rapper Meek Mill may have taken a financial blow as well.
According to Complex, data from the ticketing site TickPick suggests that ticket prices for Nicki Minaj’s “The Pinkprint” tour, which Meek is a part of, have gone down since the release of Drake’s diss records, “Charged Up” and “Back To Back.”
A rep for TickPick sent an email to Philly.com sharing news of the drop in prices. According to the rep, ticket prices for “The Pinkprint” tour dropped more than $30 in the time before and after Drake’s OVO Fest, which took place earlier this month.
“The average ticket price for a Meek Mill [and] Nicki Minaj concert on July 20th was $179,” TickPick rep Jackson Riso said via email, according to Philly.com. “By the time OVO Fest came around, that had fallen nearly 20 percent to $148.”
Additionally, TickPick reports that around the time of the decline in “The Pinkprint” tour prices, prices for crooner Sam Smith’s tour dropped by only $10.

Fck Week Mill!
Tryna start something for stpd sht.
There’s enough money for everybody, why fck sht up or atleast attempt to for your colleagues in the game. All that ego,street shit….let it go and make the most of it.
Stuff like this is funny when you realize he wouldn’t be in the mess if he had only responded to ‘Charged Up’ like he said he was. He thought he had exposed Drake and got too comfortable, now he’s all fucked up because he underestimated his opponent. His career was already on the verge of ending before Nicki, I don’t know how he’s going to save it now, things are getting worse day by day. Maybe he should leave Nicki and date someone bigger, like Taylor Swift or something, that may help. I’m not impressed
those that try to test drizzy don’t prosper….
When keepin it real goes wrong… lol all this spawned from a tweet… now he got low ticket sales I’m pretty sure his album sales slowed down too… he got beef another beef in his town with obh trigger fingers turn to twitter fingers… no one cares bout the ghost writing drake album jus went platinum (*proves it*) I know meek stomach hurts this stain his career should of kept it hip hop instead of tweeting his emotions
Even affecting Nickis money now dam
Moral of the story: Don’t fuck with Drake! #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
Gtfoh that Drake diss had nothing to do with ticket prices. Prices for tickets usually start off high in by the end of the tour they drop. It happens to Beyonce, Madonna it happens to everybody. Most of the people going to that tour are going to see Nikki not meek, no drake diss is going to stop people from going to see her. Hiphopdx get off that bs
Seems like there is a correlation between both Meek’s ticket sales and Sam Smith’s ticket sales. There’s definitely not enough evidence to support that Drake is the reason that ticket sales for Meek and Nicki’s concert has dropped.
Ima Philly kat!!!, why test drake, battle rap connected, real lyrics!! KOTD keeping hip hop alive, not commercial shit!!! Take a step back meek
Nonsense this is. In 2015 they don’t give you information and facts, it’s clickbait to bring out ignorance for site traffic.
meek rappers, plastic fake barbies & C.O.’s masquerading as a ‘drug lord’ are ON THE WAY OUT!
We need the new ARTISTS & substance like PAC, BIGGIE & EAZY-E brought us! Get those LAMES outta here!
Yeah cause the fact that Nicki Minaj fuckin sucks had nothing to do with it.
It has more to do with back to school and poor local promo than your personal feelings champ. 97% of all tours fall off on the tail end son..
