Meek Mill might often catch heat online for his “Twitter fingers,” but his fans refuse to tolerate any slander on his hit-making abilities.
On Tuesday (August 27), a clip from The Need To Know podcast caused a stir among Meek Mill fans. In the episode, podcaster Mandii B downplayed Meek Mill’s back catalog and insisted he doesn’t have a hit song outside his iconic “Dreams and Nightmares (intro).”
“I don’t know anybody who could name five Meek records,” she said before one of the hosts easily proved her wrong. She also screwed up her face at the suggestion the Philly rapper is a “legend.”
When another host suggested there is a “Weird recency bias for meek Mill,” Mandii B said the “problem” is that Hov said Meek “was the next JAY-Z.”
Loyal Meek Mill fans flooded the replies, fiercely defending his back catalog and calling out Mandii B for bashing him. Many also questioned the mysterious JAY-Z co-sign, which doesn’t appear to exist.
“whoever can’t name 5 meek mill songs is lying like a mf. is this clickbait ??” one user asked. “And when the hell did jay z ever say this? please show the receipts. he never said nobody was the next him, ever lmao.”
Another person insisted, “Meek Mill only has half a brain but you can’t discredit the discography. Who is this bird?”
“N#### Meek head might be filled with Mario Coins,” another fan said. “But the boy literally got classics under his belt and might’ve easily been the best rapper to come out the east coast in the 2010’s this typa disrespect can’t be tolerated dawg.”
