Meek Mill has built a reputation for speaking directly to his audience. He often uses social media to address questions about his career. Earlier this week, he returned to that approach. He posted a series of messages on Twitter/X that focused on his finances and independence following his highly publicized feud with Drake. In one post, he wrote, “Since I went independent sh*t been moving so weird,” before pointing to his continued success on tour. He added, “I made like 80m off rap since drake beef he not on my level of achievements to tell lies about my brand to the masses .. that’s was that.” The message read as both a rebuttal and a reaffirmation of his standing.
In a second post, he emphasized that his earnings remain steady. They are separate from any narrative tied to past rivalries. “And yes I’m still making money!” he wrote. “Not because of the beef. I went to prison had the biggest movement and came home and made the best album of my life!” The comments positioned his career as one defined by persistence. This suggested that his trajectory has been shaped more by output than by controversy.

The posts also arrived amid renewed online debate about how his career has evolved in recent years. Responding to that discussion, Meek pointed to a list of commercially successful releases. He cited platinum certifications and high-profile collaborations. “Since Drake beef I drop tap 3x platinum… peta double platinum… blue notes 1 and 2 platinum… uptown vibes with legend from Brooklyn fab platinum… what’s free feat jayz meek mill I think it’s plat… f*ck on me ft cardi b platinum,” he wrote on Instagram. He continued, “How far we came… he actually switched up on drake because he helped power the meek was done narrative was done… now he’s using the same against drake… im good with drake and jayz as far as I know… keep me out this weak a** sh*t.”
Taken as a whole, the posts capture something increasingly common in the music industry. Artists now confront their critics in real time, often in the same spaces where the criticism takes hold. For Meek, the argument circles back to tangible markers—sold-out shows, sustained output, continued relevance. However, the broader narrative around his career shifts in ways that are harder to control.
