Meek Mill is making moves—and this time, he’s going beyond the usual record label grind. The Philly rapper recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that he’s on the hunt for $5 million in funding to bring a variety of projects to life, including a new album, a book, and a short film.
In his posts, Meek didn’t hold back about the frustrations of traditional label deals. “These label deals not looking fair at all… they ruined the game basically … but I can reboot the whole thing!” he said. He even compared investing in his music ventures to backing a tech startup, questioning why independent artists can’t get the same support.
Taking Control of His Career
Since parting ways with Roc Nation earlier this summer, Meek has been embracing life as an independent artist. In his posts, he shared clips from DeDe In The Morning, discussing the cultural influence of African Americans in the U.S., and highlighted the challenges independent musicians face when trying to access traditional funding channels.
“Why as music artist that’s independent we not dealing with banks when everything surrounding us in music business lead us back to the banks anyway!” he said. His message was clear: Meek wants creative control without middlemen holding him back.
