MEEK MILL: Speaks Out Against Violence in Philly

TeeRoy's 2 Cents:

  • Meek knows firsthand what it's like to grow up in Philly and the challenges people face. 
  • Meek doesn't just talk about it. He tries to make the change he wants to see in the world with his non-profit work. 
  • He's a perfect spokesperson because people actually want to hear what he has to say, and know he's coming from a genuine place.

Meek Mill spoke out against violence in his hometown of Philadelphia. 

He tweeted, “The amount of animosity built up in my hood got the young bulls killing each other 200 mph while a virus chasing their parents down to kill them too! Somebody gotta identify what happened to our mindframe in certain cities! The hate level too high for blacks.”

His solution? “One day we gotta have the convo about the hood mindframe, [people] being brainwashed to fail... Simple as, if you went to jail 5 times for selling dope try weed or a job, 'switch it up.' If you got shot on that corner twice, 'it’s ya life,' try a new area... At least try to win!”

Meek isn’t trying to speak for everyone. He says he’s just reaching out to his city and its people, who he knows are smarter than how they're acting.
