Meek Mill has gotten himself caught in the crossfire of online shenanigans after he started engaging with fans who questioned whether he’d really made $100 million over the course of his career.
The drama began on Thursday (January 25), when the Dreams & Nightmares rapper made the audacious claim on X (formerly Twitter).
“I made over 100m in my life…I feed my community my family and change laws that send black and brown men to prison systematically … and I been on a 10 year success rate of the 1% of black men … why should they listen to you lol,” he wrote.
When a fan questioned the authenticity of the claim, the Philly native doubled down. “Why are people so judgmental with nothing going on in their lives positive? I need answers, it’s some real crab in the barrel people pushing this tear your own people down narrative… it’s like looting your own community… focusing on yourself is very rewarding!”
This isn’t the first time that Meek has found himself in the crossfire of online mess.
Last week, Meek took to X to ask what he thought was an innocent enough question. “Do a lot of people play my music in South Africa I remember having on big show their [sic] few years back … how do yall listen to our music in South Africa???? On what platform or in Nigeria?” he asked.
The responses were swift and brutal, with many African fans feeling slighted by Meek’s implication that the continent was regressive and behind the times in technology.
“Well, it depends on the season. In summer we hear it through the trunk of an elephant. In spring the giraffes catch signal and play it out loud. You get me?” wrote one commenter.
“Normally we use rocks but on a good day we use trees or we get one person to sing for the whole village,” wrote another user.
“On a good day we climb the mountain to listen to the forest play your music. On days when it’s rainy, we go down the nearest river and a mermaid comes out to sing your songs. We have only one computer here in my village, so it was my turn to tweet. [praying hands emoji] will hear from me next year,” read another comment.
Meek be lying…
Why would he? I’m 35 and I know all the money I made including with taxes since I’ve been working since 16. I’m sure he probably has
He hasn’t even made 10 million let alone a 100 million.
I doubt that. Drake… yeah I can see but Meek… when’s the last time he went out on his own tour?…… I’ll wait.
Bro, I am not counting another man’s pocket but Meek haven’t made $100 million. He made $100 million but he’s still under the MMG umbrella? Huh bro??? Meek probably made about $10 million. What was Meek hit? I cannot remember? I remember Tupac last hit though which came out in 96. Now Pac made 100s of millions…
You ain’t got to lie to kick it. And shouldn’t.
I farted?
I sniffed it
Meek legit look like he has down syndrome in that pic
The more important question is, what’s he have to show for it now? He’s been the game over 15 years. That’s under 7 million per year, average, that’s not unreasonable at all
The Africa thing is so stupid.. he literally said “what platform?”as in Apple, Spotify, etc. dude has been to Africa multiple times
Dis bursa trippin again. Hunnid mill lunch money to King Tekashi.
