Meek Mill explained the benefits of working with him before following up with a call to “get the hatred out the black community.” 

Meek Mill is justifying his worth after being dragged online for revealing he charges up to $250K for a feature. 

One critic called out the Dream Chasers Records founder’s “Music Industry Math,’ in a post on X. “If you spend $250,000 on a guest verse, you’d need to generate roughly 75 million streams just to break even on that expense — assuming you own 100 percent of the record,” the user wrote. “Add production and engineering costs and that break even line rise.” 

However, Meek Mill replied, calling his strategy “brand swapping” before highlighting the potential benefits of a Meek verse.  

“Some of these artist need others platform to get their point across and I offer them data and fanbase opportunities along with mass marketing,” he explained. “I have 50 millions followers with real engagement … you can get good playlisting with solid meek feat!” 

However, another X user challenged Meek’s advice to followers to “Play dumb to dumb people … and act smart around smart people,” prompting a flurry of responses.  

“I made over 100m in my life,” Meek Mill replied. “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.” 

In another post, Meek Mill revealed he coined the term “n####-it is” to describe Black people who “hate your own kind repeatedly.”   

Meek followed up with a call to “get the hatred out the black community!” before questioning, “Why are people so judgmental with nothing going on in their lives positive?”
