Meek Mill had a lot of time to think about his priorities during his time at Chester State Prison and now, he’s attempting to lead by example. In a recent Instagram post, the Philly-bred rapper challenged his peers to worry less about material things and more about making business moves.
“PSA: 2019 all rappers let’s start having a property and owning business challenge instead of Jewelry jets and cars, keep it up to par but let’s switch it up and level up so we can have money when we 50+ from years of hard work and grinding! Smarten up!!”
2 Chainz evidently cosigns Meek’s sentiments. On Christmas (December 25), the artist formerly known as Tity Boi shared a screenshot of Meek’s original post and captioned it with, “SALUTE! Guess I’ll crank this challenge up @meekmill.”
And Nipsey Hussle is down, too.
As Hip Hop’s pioneers enter their 50s and 60s, healthcare is more imperative than ever. Many OGs of the culture have found themselves in precarious situations and don’t have the funds to properly treat their medical conditions.
More recently, Jimmy Spicer revealed he had advanced brain and lung cancer and was forced to set up a GoFundMe to help him cover medical costs.
By saving money now, those in their 20s and 30s will avoid a similar fate.
Then lead by example Meek and show them . Don’t post about it be about it
While they keep profiting off pushing poison, misogyny and “trapping” to the rest of the listeners as they go on to level up and put their kids through college. How about a stop promoting crack on my albums challenge, or 2 parent household challenge. These clowns are just culture vultures with Black skin.
So the guy who self snitched on himself, posted shit on Instagram of himself commuting probation violations, that’s the Guy challenging people to do better?
You learn from your mistakes
Obviously hypocrisy and humility are lessons he hasn’t learned, young Dindu…
Props Meek! Folks may hate, or not even show any type of actual care, but I rather Meek spread this message ( of building and maintaining wealth), than one about pill popping, and involvement in unnecessary violence, bringing no value to themselves, and those they’re around.
good to see Meek smartening up, instead of bragging about having bought a bentley and a ferrari, insisting they were not leases when he was probably barely worth 3 million and having the bulk of his net worth tied up in depreciating cars.
If rappers did this years ago, many would be living good with properties and investments. never too late to smarten up.
