Meek Mill can’t seem to catch a break following his recent Africa music streaming blunder, considering now fans are criticizing his feature rate.
On Tuesday (January 23), Meek got lit up by countless Twitter (X) users after he seemingly initiated the conversation about feature rates. Meek actually laid out his rates in a short tweet outlining his preferred workflow when it comes to arranging and taking payment for features.
”Every time I do a verse I charge 250k and up if you got 150k on sight and I like the song we can swap it outtt!!!!” Meek wrote.

Pretty much immediately after Meek dropped the tweet, people began to blow the thread up—making the Philadelphia lyricist a martyr in the process.
“Every time rappers post their feature prices like this publicly I be feeling like they just saying the one price they were able to get a label to pay for one time,” one user remarked while another suggested, “He’s saying his wish list price he’d take 50k right now and that high for him.”
Other users were simply just not convinced that Meek’s verses could cost a quarter of a million dollars.
”What you saying that cost $250K? Lol,” as another user added, “After back 2 back you should be charging 10K THE most.”
At one point, folks really started trolling Meek and bartering with his prices by offering absurd forms of payment.
”I got some wing stop coupons and jewelry that turn your neck green. What can I get?” someone offered, while another proposed, “Can i get a verse and I’ll pay installments for 250,000 years?”
Things got really dicey once rap Twitter got involved and started comparing the data with other rapper’s feature rates.
“Is this why Meek hasn’t done a feature since 2022? Meek charging the same amount as $250k – Lil Durk $250k – Future $250k – Snoop. Future feature a bargain at $250k,” they wrote in a tweet.
