HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Meek Mill is a product of the tough streets of Philadelphia, and his beloved hometown has seen a rash of shooting incidents lately that has sparked his concerns. The Dreamchasers honcho took to Twitter and called for new open-carry gun laws after a teenager was shot 13 times. “If we having 500 murders a year in Philly why isn’t it legal to open carry and protect yourself. you can’t even protect yourself in a deadly neighborhood so y’all force kids to break the law for protecting themselves…. lil kids get done like this everyday,” Mill, 34, shared in the caption of an image sharing the news of the shooting of the teen.

Meek Mill Blesses His Grandmother With A New Home
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Meek Mill might’ve developed a reputation for being a bit stingy thanks to a situation that included some kids selling bottled water, but it looks like the Philadelphia rapper has no problem splurging on his family. Earlier this week the “What’s Free?” rapper took to Instagram to show just how much he loves his grandmother by revealing he’d just bought her a brand new home. With the caption reading “Loyalty is not just a word💎 Kick ya feet up Grandmom 💎 My dads mom #newcrib. I’m Prada myself! Ya definition of real not the same as mines I get it!” The man should in fact be “Prada” himself as not many rappers who experience success remember to do things like this for their grandparents. Sure they look out...
Funk Flex On Drake vs Meek Mill: “I Wanted To Be In The History Book”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Funkmaster Flex admittedly likes attention—more than most, some could argue. Sure, a lot of us have already known this, but still recoiled at one particular line from a recent talk the DJ had with Rap Radar: “I wanted to be in the history book.” Back in 2015 when Meek Mill and Drake were feuding, it all started with the Philadelphia rapper running the reference track for Drizzy’s “10 Bands” up to Hot 97. He’d hoped to “expose” Drake for using ghostwriters, and not having read the room, things did not work out in Meek’s favor. News of the reference track barely moved the needle amongst rap fans and subsequently, Meek received a succinct lesson in why you should never poke a sleeping bear.

Claudia Jordan Remembers Meek Mill Embarrassing Nicki Minaj At A Restaurant
Source: Prince Williams / Getty For a minute there Meek Mill was the darling of the Hip-Hop culture due to his bars and a biased “justice” system that threw him into prison for poppin’ a wheelie. Then after Jay-Z helped spring the Philadelphia rapper from jail and get him back home, it was all downhill from there. From having a bunch of water-selling kids split a $20 bill to more recently throwing out an offensive Kobe Bryant metaphor, Meek’s reminded everyone why they began clowning him in the first place. Now Claudia Jordan is recalling the time when Meek caused a scene while he was dating Nicki Minaj. On a recent episode of Out Loud With Claudia Jordan on Fox Soul, CJ remembered the time she ran into Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj at a restaurant in Manhattan “back in the day.” ““It was a Ja...

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Monday (Feb.22), Vanessa Bryant let Meek Mill know that she wasn’t feeling his lame Kobe verse, and now Meek is saying he’s sorry for it. After taking another beating on Twitter for the nut ass Kobe bar where he rapped Yeah, and if I ever lack, I’m goin’ out with my chopper, it be another Kobe. Shit, I could tell that they ain’t never know me/’Cause if they knew me they would’ve never showed me,” Meek Mill revealed that he did apologize to the late Lakers’ superstar’s wife.

Lil Baby Hilariously Does the #JunebugChallenge w/ Meek Mill & Michael Rubin
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Lil Baby was spotted at the Super Bowl LV over the weekend doing the #JunebugChallenge on TikTok with some of his famous friends. The video is quite comical, featuring an oddly coordinated group crowded around the rapper in a blatant attempt to go viral on the popular platform. As soon as SpotemGottem’s “Beatbox” drops, the group, featuring Meek Mill and Philadelphia 76ers owner Michael Rubin, awkwardly jolted their arms up and down reminiscent of the choreography in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video. Meek transitioned into a version of the Millie Rock towards the end before the video cuts off. It’s clear from another post on Rubin’s Instagram page that they were hanging out in an owner’s box at Raymond James Stadium. A v...

Millionaire Meek Mill’s Reasoning For Giving Black Kids Only $20 Sounds Suspect
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Meek Mill might want to log off from Twitter until sometime in 2021. The Philly rapper has been the subject of criticism following a late-night rant on Clubhouse after some people in the room didn’t agree with what he had to say. He also caught heat from Barbz when he decided to bring up the Shaderoom posting about his “beef” with Nicki Minaj and her husband and registered sex offender Kenneth Petty. Now the multimillionaire is under scrutiny once again after he defended giving a group of Black teens selling water only $20 to split amongst themselves. So what was Meek’s reasoning for being so stingy with the dough? Apparently, he didn’t want the teens copping gas, aka marijuana. During the Clubhouse debacle, he ridiculously stated: “I know what’s goi...
