In particular, listeners are raving over Meek’s approach to addressing the death of his father—a burden the Philadelphia rapper shares with vocalist Fridayy, as well.
“MeekMill killed that jawn with Friday s### just gave me the chills,” a Twitter user wrote, to which Meek Mill replied, “The highest compliment from music to me is someone getting the chills!”
Following another users reply to the conversation thread Meek was having with different user separately, he dropped a bombshell by inserting NBA champion LeBron James into the mix.
“You gotta drop a whole tape of you talkingthat talk like that nbs,” a user wrote.
Meek replied, writing, “ LeBron told me that a while back.”

When it comes to how he’s dealing with the grief he feels, Meek revealed that even his closest loved ones had not heard the type of perspective he beared on his sleeve throughout the collab, in another remark.
“My mom didn’t even know I felt like this about my dad situation!” He wrote in a tweet.
The authenticity of Meek’s sentiments were felt across the board, as well, attracting a number of intense and personal fan reflections as a result.
”That verse Meek did on Fridayy album might be in the rafters for him. That s### was special man,” one user wrote.
Another user chimed in, “That Meek verse on Fridayy tape 🔥🔥🤮🤮🤮 He can tweet what he wants he a GOAT,” to which Meek replied, “I been doing what I want since my dad died literally lol.”
The surge in love and support Meek has received since the collaboration was released appears to have had a positive effect on him and has seemingly motivated him to get back to releasing new music consistently.
”I have a new song coming out called pizza gate!!!!!” he wrote in a separate tweet.
I have a new song coming out called pizza gate!!!!!
