Meek Mill Triggers South Africans
Thirty-six-year-old Meek Mill, born Robert Rihmeek Williams, engaged his fans on social media and told them to fire him with questions under the hashtag #AskMeek.
One fan then asked him when he would be touring Africa. Meek Mill liked the idea and asked a controversial question.
The Going Bad hitmaker inquired:
“Do a lot of people play my music in South Africa? I remember having one big show there a few years back …How do y’all listen to our music in South Africa???? On what platform or in Nigeria?”

The Instigator:
“Normally, we use rocks, but on a good day, we use trees, or we get one person to sing for the whole village.”
Jan Van Potgieter:
“Lol, you want to come, yet you’re insulting us and looking down?? Anyways, we play your music on a tree… we charge it with oranges.”
Warlo:
“We don’t have any music streaming services in Nigeria. We have this guy he’s the only one that has access to Spotify, he’s a town crier he comes every Friday to perform your songs for us. This is how we listen to your music. I hope this helps.”
Sijuade:
“In Nigeria, we actually go to a town hall and line up to listen to a man called Bulaba sing your mid songs to us. Over to South Africans, how do y’all go about it?”
Shaun:
“The same way yall listen to Amapiano in your country, it’s the same way we listen to your trash songs man. Don’t try to revive your dead career by disrespecting us.”
