Meek Mill’s Feature Verse Rate Is Minimum $250K, He Claims

by

Meek Mill and Rick Ross finished their 2023 on a strong note with their Too Good To Be True album, boasting 17 songs with guest appearances from the likes of Teyana Taylor, DJ Khaled, French Montana, Vory, Fabolous, and more. We’re curious to see what the Philly native will bring to the table in the new year, besides his work with Fivio Foreign on their joint “Same 24” single earlier this month. Even if Meek only delivers features, it sounds like he’ll still be making major money moves. According to a recent tweet from the recording artist, he makes a minimum of a quarter of a million dollars for each of the verses he gives out.

“Every time I do a verse I charge $250K and up,” Meek bragged via Twitter/X on Tuesday (January 23). “If you got $150K on sight and I like the song we can swap it out,” the 36-year-old added, raising some doubts among social media users. “Every time rappers post their feature prices like this publicly I be feeling like they just saying the one price they were able to get a label to pay for one time,” one person speculated beneath the original post.

How Much is a Meek Mill Feature?

Of course, putting his monetary achievements on blast isn’t the only post on Meek’s Twitter that’s been stirring up attention. After inquiring about how fans in countries like South Africa and Nigeria are able to listen to his music, he was heavily clowned. “I was asking how they listen to music in Africa because I wanna handle my business none of my contracts say they have rights to distribute me in Africa… basically looking for the money trail? [I don’t know] what platforms [are] used in South Africa lol,” he wrote when addressing his haters.

If you’re curious what Meek Mill spends his growing fortune on, we know that at least part of it goes toward taking care of his loved ones. Earlier this week it was reported that the “Uptown Vibes” hitmaker purchased his mother a third house, which she couldn’t be more grateful for.

Silkk The Shocker Says Jay-Z Turned Down $100k For Their Collaboration

by

Silkk The Shocker says that Jay-Z shot down a $100,000 offer for their 1999 collaboration, “You Know What We Bout.” Instead, Silkk says that it was bigger than money for him. Silkk The Shocker reflected on his relationship with Jay-Z during an interview with The Art of Dialogue published earlier this week.

“Our relationship was dope because when I did the song with him, I thought I had a budget for him,” Silkk recalled. “I was like, ‘Yo, I got a hundred racks’ — that’s a lot of money back in the day too! I’m sure he could’ve used the extra $100,000; who ain’t gonna use that? When I hit him up, I’m like, ‘Yo, the song is dope, you killed it. Where I should I send that bread to?’ Jay was like, ‘Nah, it’s good, man. Just keep it and we’ll figure out something later on down the line.’”

“He won’t do it for anybody, though; he won’t even do music for anybody. What I came to learn was that it’s bigger than [money] for him,” he added. “To me, that’s consistent with [where he is] today — if you look at him, it’s not a fluke that he’s successful.” Silkk continued: “I don’t care how rich you are, you gonna be like, ‘Man, send my bread.’ But he was just dead cool. He ain’t even second-guess it like, ‘Yeah, send me half of it.’ The good part about it: down the line, I kinda did something for him and I just thought it was solid.”

“You Know What We Bout” was featured on Silkk the Shocker’s third studio album, Made Man. The project debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 selling 240,244 copies in its first week. Silkk previously discussed the making of “You Know What We Bout” during an appearance on Drink Champs in 2021. The song also features Master P and was originally supposed to feature DMX, but a tight deadline prevented that from happening. He also revealed that Jay-Z submitted his verse at the last minute. “Salute to DMX too, he really wanted to do it, but he probably was just like, ‘I’ma get it in the morning, I ain’t got time to do it.’ So I just had to go with Jay,” he explained.
