Meek Mill’s Album Artwork On Bus Sets Off Random & Controversial Video Rant
HipHopWired Featured Video The artwork for Meek Mill’s latest album has instigated a heavy conversation about art, expression, and perspective thanks to a viral video featuring a white man ranting about the cover’s promotional placement on a city bus. For his latest album, Expensive Pain, Meek was inspired by the artwork of Nina Chanel Abney and used her piece which depicts him surrounded by three nude women as his cover. Abney, a Black female contemporary artist whose work dives into the exploration of race, gender, pop culture, and homophobia among other subjects, is widely acclaimed for her art drawing comparisons to icons such as Jean Michel Basquiat. In promotion for the album, the cover was wrapped on a bus in Los Angeles, California. This bus caught the attention of an unnamed local...

Meek Mill Claims Karen Civil Trashed His Name, She Refutes Allegations
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Things got rougher this past weekend for influencer, publicist, and podcast host Karen Civil after Meek Mill joined the group of artists accusing her of theft with some hefty allegations of his own. Civil was catching major heat after Joyner Lucas put her on blast for supposedly scamming him out of $60,000 in a series of tweets Saturday morning (September 18), alleging that she ghosted him after he requested her help for a marketing campaign. The accusation was similar to one that Cam’ron had made against her in 2017 regarding fellow Diplomats rapper DukeDaGod. Cam even took to Instagram to rehash those allegations. The furor wound up compelling Jessie Woo and Jason Lee to come forward with their own accusations about Civil, with a...

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.
