Shortly after a judge ruled that he won’t be able to tour for 30 days, Meek Mill has announced plans to donate $10,000 to his Philadelphia, Pennsylvania alma mater Strawberry Mansion High School.
According to Philly.com, the Maybach Music Group rapper will give $10K and basketball shoes to the school today. The shoes are connected with Puma, with which Meek inked a deal to endorse this past August.
Mill originally said that the event to donate was cancelled on account of his lyrics, but the Philadelphia School District said it had been rescheduled.
Strawberry is one of the eight high schools in Philly proposed to close to consolidate the Philadelphia School District.
Donating money to a school that might be shut down? That makes no sense.
good looks on that
strawberry mansion high school? damn that shit sounds hood as fuck!! no wonder meek mill is so thuggin
my cousin is in Strawberry Mansion High School. he said its gangsta as hell a lot of hard niggaz. swag
Strawberry Mansion ain’t hooder than Degrassi.

NorthPhilly stand up Mansion need that
This fool gonna donate ten g’s to a school so he seems like a respectable and caring guy, pretend he cares about the kids and community, then turn around and make 15 new songs about misogyny, guns, drug use, and gluttony. I’m tired of these fake ass criminals, think just cuz they help an old lady cross the street, it blurs the line of ignorance this label puppet has produced over the years.
Chuuuch!
this article is all kinds of wrong.
1. the hs is set to close anyway.
2. the donation is a tie-in to a promotion with puma
3. he did this after being denied travel
4. originally it was cancelled due to his lyrics and then rescheduled. bribery of school officials?
5. blacks always get gifted sneakers instead of the newest TI calculator
rappers always be speakin’ on makin’ so much money, being so rich… let’s be honest, what’s 10 grands for an enterprise? it’s not that much for a school, maybe one-month salaries for several teachers
10,000 That’s nothing, if I was rich like Meek Mill I would be embarrassing my self saying I will give 10,000, I would tell Meek take that 10g and put in in you black A**
Wake up little boy, Meek isn’t rich
