Meek Mill Delivers Cryptic Response When Asked About Drake’s Lawsuit
When it comes to Meek Mill, you can always expect the unexpected. The Philadelphia rapper is known for speaking his mind, often in ways that leave fans both puzzled and entertained. Recently, Meek was asked to weigh in on Drake’s lawsuit against UMG and Spotify, which centers around the streaming of “Not Like Us” and its alleged connection to comments made by Kendrick Lamar. Instead of a direct answer, Meek delivered a response that wandered through his past struggles, label disputes, and lessons learned.
The Drake Lawsuit and Meek Mill’s Take
For context, Drake’s lawsuit reportedly stems from the streaming of “Not Like Us” and accusations that Kendrick Lamar threw shade at him in the track. Fans were eager to hear Meek’s thoughts, given his own infamous history with Drake—who publicly dissed him in the 2015 track “Back to Back.” However, rather than addressing the specifics of the lawsuit or its implications for the industry, Meek chose to reflect on his own battles with record labels and streaming platforms.
“The label told me not to drop anything,” Meek tweeted. “Got against that and dropped mixxtape dc4. ‘Shari Bryant backed me herself.’ 90k first week to warm up… I also couldn’t make any playlists which made me confused and lose confidence a little. But I know 80% of it is campaigning! Just network impact.”
The tweet seemed to reference Meek’s decision to drop his DC4 mixtape despite his label’s advice to hold off. He mentioned selling 90,000 copies in the first week—a number he achieved by betting on himself during a period of uncertainty.
Lessons in Resilience
In a follow-up tweet, Meek expanded on his earlier statement, reflecting on the losses he’s faced and the lessons they taught him. “I’m a champion, I lose things, I learn from them and move on,” he wrote. Meek’s career has been marked by highs and lows, from public feuds with major artists to triumphantly returning with chart-topping albums like Championships.
Looking ahead, Meek shared his vision for the future: “In 2025, my current team is going to do a 100m rap. Because I’ve been in a system for so long, I’m going to break that jaw; I’m going to take my time with the’mime’.”
While the tweet was cryptic, fans interpreted it as a declaration of independence and a promise to dominate the industry on his own terms.
Marching to His Own Beat
What makes Meek Mill stand out in moments like this is his refusal to conform. Rather than delivering a straightforward critique of Drake’s lawsuit, Meek used the opportunity to highlight his own journey, triumphs, and continued drive.
As fans dissect his tweets, one thing remains clear: Meek Mill isn’t just a rapper. He’s a survivor, a hustler, and a man determined to chart his own course—no matter how perplexing or unconventional it may seem.
So, while the world debates Drake vs. Kendrick or the intricacies of streaming lawsuits, Meek Mill stays focused on his ultimate goal: winning in his own lane.
