Meek Mill, a prominent figure in the music industry, has expressed his dissatisfaction with certain practices within the record labels, raising concerns about what he perceives as exploitation of artists under their wings.
The head of Dream Chasers, Meek Mill, took to the online platform Threads on August 17 to voice his opinions about the operations of record labels. In a passionate outpour, he shed light on how industry executives allegedly take advantage of artists who may lack awareness, making strong claims about the negative impact of such behaviors.
Meek Mill emphasized, “It’s almost to a point where we are going to aim artists and their entourage towards the ones taking out money and leading us to bad business decisions,” he began. “F**k these labels; They operating without consequences in the biggest scheme to date.”
The artist pointed out that legal professionals working in conjunction with corporations might be manipulating young talents with complex contractual terms they may struggle to comprehend. He accused them of reaping most of the rewards, leaving the artists disadvantaged. In his words, “Lawyers working with corporations [mentally] challenging young kids with business they can’t understand, taking all the benefits… IF YOU LETTING LABELS TAKE YOUR MONEY HOW YOU BEEFING WITH N-GGAS IN THE HOOD OVER NOTHING.”
Later, Meek Mill took to his Instagram Story to share his internal struggles. He hinted at grappling with the predicament of confronting label executives who, in his perception, might be cheating him out of his rightful earnings. He expressed a desire to handle the situation without resorting to violent or street tactics.
In his Instagram Story post, he wrote, “Real killers and robber know they would die if they touched me… but I’m letting business people take what’s mines idk mannnm I don’t really know how to handle this one … I’m off the net.”
