Meek Mill Reacts To First-Week Sales Projections For ‘Too Good To Be True’

Meek Mill has reacted to the first-week sales projections for his and Rick Ross’ Too Good To Be True joint album. 

While the project is estimated to move between 30,000 – 35,000 units in its seven days — lower than some fans’ expectations — the Philly rapper explained on Sunday (November 12) that he’s playing a different game than the traditional one the industry set up, as he and Rozay “own” the album.

“It’s says me and Ross on pace to sell 35k first week I would post if it said 350k… I’m too nice and rich to be rapping in a control music environment that’s why we dropping music on Fridays it’s doesn’t make sense,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Now we all own our music we getting the tech built to put people on our own musical subscriptions and we gone let direct to consumer see if rap if doing well.”

Meek continued to say that the project is going platinum in the streets: “The streets love this album too! I’m use every drop of my talent now I own 100 percent of my music now! It was top tier rap for the hustlers and winners! Tap in ‘ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE’ owned by ‘WILLIAM ROBERTS X ROBERT WILLIAMS DIRSTO [sic] BY:GAMMA.”

Meek’s Twitter fingers were working overtime on Sunday as he also spoke on how social media is contributing to people’s deteriorating mental health.

“Staring at social media fantasizing about others lives and getting mentally sick! I seen it happen to so many people! It’s like a clout zombie effect,” he wrote.

“I never wanted to be on billboards… a lot of them guys they marketed in front of us can’t make 100k today … if people believe that tho, I want that market too I’m Hungry lol.”

Too Good to Be True was officially released on Friday (November 10) on the Maybach Music imprint, which is currently under an exclusive license with Gamma.

In addition to a collaboration with Cool & Dre (on the third track, “Go To Hell”), the album features a who’s who of Hip Hop’s finest, including Fabolous, Teyana Taylor, DJ Khaled, Wale, The-Dream, French Montana, and Future.
