Meek Mill has entered the conversation surrounding Drake’s high-profile lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), and fans can’t help but recall the rappers’ infamous feud back in 2015. While their beef led to iconic diss tracks and endless memes, it seems Meek is now siding with empathy.
The lawsuit in question sees Drake taking UMG to court over the release of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us, which the Toronto rapper claims tarnished his reputation. While the legal battle unfolds, Meek Mill is reflecting on his own industry struggles.
Taking to social media, Meek opened up about how record labels control promotions and playlists, recounting the challenges he faced during the release of his DC4 mixtape in the heat of his feud with Drake. “Labels have too much power over what people hear and when,” he hinted, drawing parallels between his experiences and Drake’s ongoing fight for artistic freedom.
Though the question remains—did Not Like Us truly damage Drake’s reputation?—fans are applauding Meek’s willingness to speak out about the darker side of the music industry. It seems that time and shared struggles have shifted the dynamic between these once-rival rappers.
