    The ‘Going Bad’ hitmaker becomes one of the leading proponents of criminal justice reform in America after he was jailed on a widely panned probation technicality back in 2017.
    Jun 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rapper Meek Mill has dropped a new song, “Otherside of America”, in support of Black Lives Matter protests across the nation.
    The hip-hop star released the hard-hitting track on Friday, June 05 as protesters continue to take to the streets to stand against police brutality in the wake of the killing of black man George Floyd by Minneapolis, Minnesota officers, who have since been indicted for his death.
    “Reporting live from the Other Side of America,” he wrote on YouTube in comments below the “Official Audio” video.
    The track starts off with an incendiary clip of a speech from U.S. President Donald Trump, before Meek steps in with verses about living hungry on the streets.
    “I was mad I was tryna fight/N**ga we hungry/Mama at work, daddy he dead/ N***a we lonely,” he raps.

    Meek Mill Slammed for Pulling Out of Massachusetts Concert Due to Small Crowd

    Instagram

    The ‘Tupac Back’ rapper allegedly leaves audiences at the University of Massachusetts Mullen Center hanging as he refuses to perform because there are less than 2,000 people in attendance.
    Mar 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Meek Mill has received a lot of complaints from his fans after he allegedly backed out of a concert at the last minute due to small crowd. The Philadelphia-born rapper was booked to perform at the University of Massachusetts Mullen Center on Saturday, March 7 as part of annual Blarney Blowout weekend, but reportedly refused to show up onstage because the number of attendees was smaller than he initially expected.
    The Mullins Center holds a little under 10,000 people, but less than 2,000 people bought tickets, which were sold only between $10 and $15. Around 1,500 concertgoers reportedly were left hanging because the “Ima Boss” spitter bailed on the show, despite showing up at the venue.
    Brandi Hephner LaBanc, UMass Amherst vice chancellor for student affairs, confirmed the news of Meek’s withdrawal, stating, “Although the concert did not go as planned, students were very cooperative. We are equally disappointed in Meek Mill’s decision not to perform. Refunds will be made available to ticketholders in the near future.”
    The concert was part of the university’s anti-violence efforts during non-school sanctioned, off-campus parties celebrating the last weekend before Spring Break.
    Disappointed concertgoers have since taken to Twitter to slam the rapper for showing unprofessional attitude. “Lost respect for @MeekMill,” one person called him out. “today he pulled up to UMass for a concert students were looking forward to (especially students of color that came to see him), the crowd wasn’t as large as he wanted it to be so he left and didn’t perform. Unprofessional and selfish.”
    The said person continued bashing the rapper for not showing any remorse, “What’s crazy is he is taking zero ownership. He been tweeting all day having a great time while students were waiting since 9am for him. Nope. Respect out the window.”
    “Deada**!” another person labeled the star. Seemingly not surprised, another tweeted, “I ain’t even read nothing. I just saw ‘lost respect for weak mills’ and I clicked like. He trash.” Another comment read, “Can’t believe he did this weak mess… smh.” Another person called him “weak and pathetic.”
    Another, meanwhile, trolled Meek for allegedly not having large fanbase in the area. “Damn. The place would’ve been packed woth students from every other school in the area had Nicki [Minaj] been performing there. Yikes,” the said person wrote.
    Some others, however, think that Meek was not completely to be blamed for the abrupt cancellation. “Unprofessional, yes. Selfish, no,” one defended the rapper’s attitude. Another said, “That happens all the time. Blame the promo team.” Someone else weighed in, “Or blame he has no fans in that area.”

    Nicki Minaj Drags Meek Mill on New Song 'Yikes' Despite Saying She Regrets Twitter Feud

    WENN/Brian To/Derrick Salters

    Towards the end of the song, the Trinidadian female emcee makes a MoneyBagg Yo reference by rapping, ‘Bag talk? But ain’t got no mouth when MoneyBagg talk?’
    Feb 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – This might be the reason why Nicki Minaj delayed the release of “Yikes”. The Trinidadian rapper was supposed to unleash the highly-anticipated song on Thursday, February 6, but she eventually put it out on Friday at 3 A.M. People are now convinced that it’s because she wanted to add a bar to diss Meek Mill.
    Right before the song comes to a close, Nicki spits her verse, “Bag talk? But ain’t got no mouth when MoneyBagg talk?/ It’s quiet, ain’t no back talk.” She’s clearly referencing MoneyBagg Yo who came to her defense amid her nasty back-and-forth with Meek recently. He said at the time, “If u like or double tap some f*k s**t somebody posted abt a n***a … don’t act like u cool wit the n***a that it’s abt wen u see him..ion get ppl.” However, Meek never gave him a response.

    Her diss came rather surprising considering that prior to this, Nicki said that she regretted fighting Meek on Twitter and made a promise to herself not to do it again. During her appearance at Pollstar Live, she said, “Listen, it never fails. Every time I do it, five minutes later, I’m like, ‘Why the f**k did I?’ Every single time.”
    She continued, “But it’s good lesson in knowing how to master your anger and emotions. So, every time I do that, I like give myself a talking to in my head, like, ‘OK, you played yourself, you shouldn’t have did that. You learned your lesson again.’ How many times did I learn that lesson? So, I gave myself that talk today, sir.”
    Meek and Nicki’s Twitter feud ensued after the former was caught liking pictures making fun of her husband Kenneth Petty. In response, she called her ex-boyfriend a clown and dissed his fashion sense. She additionally accused him of domestic violence while he dragged her for her “rapist” brother’s lawyer. Both denied the accusations leveled against them.
