Dee-1 has shown love to Meek Mill, claiming that the Philadelphia rapper set off a chain of events that will lead to something bigger in the culture.
In a video posted to Instagram on Friday (January 5), Dee-1 said that a new tweet of Meek’s has sparked a long-overdue conversation.

“Big Salute to @meekmill,” he wrote in the caption. “Some haters and some blogs don’t wanna see love and support, but that’s exactly what this is. Stating Big Facts that will have a domino effect. Let’s be smart and we can all win! Ya digggg. A Shift Is Happening!!!”

While it usually takes time for a huge culture shift to happen, Dee-1 may have a point.

Meek wants kids to hit the books and utilize school and education as their way out instead of hustling in the streets to survive.
“Being gangsta will get you hurt put in jail or killed …… being smart will get you out of poverty and your family and friends living better,” he wrote. “It’s no comparison, being smart is the only solid way out the trenches… everything else is wide range life risk just to survive!”

Fans flooded Meek’s replies — some pleading with him to take his advice when it comes to his at times violent lyrics.
“Remember this next time you write Meek. No more ‘I got a hundred shooters in ma block’ There’s a straight line between the hit records out here and the news headlines,” one person responded. “We all can do better.”
Meek is gearing up for a major 2024 after he claimed on IG last month that he was “GETTING READY TO EAT UP” the new year.
The Philly rapper closed out 2023 with a huge legal victory when his REFORM Alliance helped pass a Senate bill to change Pennsylvania’s probation laws for the benefit of former inmates.

Senate Bill 838 will provide necessary reforms to Pennsylvania’s probation rules, making it easier for the formerly incarcerated to abide by them, and to hopefully prevent recidivism.
