In a new interview with the Desires Podcast, Meek Mill recalls how people counted him out after his beef with Drake, as well as his breakup with Nicki Minaj. “I’m into proving people wrong,” he says.
“People [will] be like, ‘Yo after your second album, you gone be done.” He continued. “‘Ah, Drake, he’s done. Nicki, he’s done. Ugh, he went to jail for two years, he’s done.’” Meek reveals he was fighting a battle not only with the outside world, but also with himself. However, he stood firm that he’s here to stay. “You know where I come from?” he said.”I’m on a 20-year journey, and people and someone that might have met you in year 18, telling you, ‘You done.’”
He added, “You know how long I been working at this?” Meek Mill also acknowledged that he was treated as an underdog during his beef with Drake.
“We don’t do that where we come from,” Meek Mill Says
That said, he never counted himself out. In his opinion, his resilience comes from growing up in poverty.
“Being young, coming from poverty—you don’t even have to be Black—you can just be from our class. You’re at a disadvantage.” He continues, “When I was battling Drake, they had to draw L’s in my comments. We come from the jungle, if ya mom loses her job, it’s people that’ll be like, ‘Ah, she lost her job, that’s a L,’” he says. “We don’t do that where we come from.”
In other news, back in December, Meek Mill claimed that the NYPD had been targeting him. In a series of tweets on December 22, the rapper expressed his frustration with the NYPD, accusing them of unfairly targeting him and making him feel unsafe. Meek has had a lot to say recently, according to X, formerly Twitter, activity.
