Meek Mill’s relationship with Africa, and Nigeria in particular, has been a mix of admiration and misunderstanding.
Earlier this year, he faced backlash after inquiring about how Africans, specifically South Africans and Nigerians, stream music.
His question, perceived by some as ignorance about Africa’s technological advancements, led to a flurry of humorous and sarcastic responses from the African online community.
Despite the controversy, Meek Mill’s interest in Africa remains strong. He has previously expressed his desire to perform for his fans on the continent and has asked about his popularity in African countries.
His engagement with African audiences and his plans to record in Africa reflect a growing trend among international artists who are exploring and collaborating with the rich musical landscape of the continent.
Meek Mill, born Robert Rihmeek Williams, is a prominent figure in the hip-hop industry, renowned for his lyrics and storytelling that often reflect his personal struggles and broader social issues.
