Meek Mill’s “Heathenism” First-Week Sales Get Him Ripped Apart By Critics

by

It’s been an undoubtedly challenging few weeks for Meek Mill, and it looks like the Philly-born performer simply cannot catch a break. At the end of February, rumors that he was named in Diddy’s latest lawsuit and slept with the Bad Boy Records founder ran wild. Despite having denied these allegations on various occasions, social media users continue to speculate. Amid chatter surrounding that whole debacle, Meek wrecked his brand-new car. Luckily, he seems to have been uninjured in the crash, though he admits it knocked him out.

Things appeared to be looking up for the rapper when he announced and later unleashed his new EP Heathenism last week. While it’s been met with praise from countless fans since its release, critics continue to knock him online. This has only been compounded since the project’s first-week sales were announced earlier today.

Meek Mill’s Heathenism EP Sells 6K Its First Week

According to a recent Tweet from DJ Akademiks, Heathenism sold 6K in its first week. While the number is certainly far lower than most fans probably expected, he appears to have remained confident in his success, based on his latest Twitter/X posts. Unfortunately, however, not everybody is so convinced. Ak’s comments section has been flooded by countless users clowning him for the project’s arguably low sales, and they’re not holding back.

“All that controversy and still couldn’t break 10k,” one critic writes. “Flopped so hard,” another claims. Several users also took the opportunity to joke about Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ recent feud, and how glad the latter probably was to spread the news. “Ak rubbing his hands together after getting this information,” one user says.

Over the past few months, Meek Mill has tried to keep his head down. When the “Too Good To Be True” rapper made a public appearance, it was to raise awareness for probation reform through his nonprofit organization (Reform Alliance) or to tease a reunion with his former Maybach Music Group labelmate, Wale.

But as he prepared to reenter the spotlight, Meek faced a few unfortunate circumstances. Yesterday (March 1), Meek was reportedly involved in a bad car accident, which he claims was due to a manufacturing issue.

In a post on his Instagram Stories, Meek uploaded a photo of the frightening crash. “God telling [me] don’t crash out for the busta,” he wrote. “Imma listen, sh*t knocked me out, LOL. GMC. The whole brake pedal slipped off my first time driving SMH.”

While Meek should be celebrating the release of his latest EP, Heathenism, he has to tend to both his physical health and mental well-being. Meek’s reference to crashing out is seemingly in response to his string of posts on X (formerly Twitter) to shut down claims made in a new lawsuit that he was involved in a sexual relationship with Diddy.

Meek Mill has denied the remarks made in the filing.

Heathenism EP is out now via DreamChasers. Find more information here.

Meek Mill is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Philly native Meek Mill has made a return to the hip-hop scene with his latest project, the five-track EP titled Heathenism. It was independently released via his Dreamchasers label. The EP, which arrived earlier today, showcases Meek’s signature gritty lyricism and relentless energy across a series of hard-hitting tracks.

Meek delivers rapid-fire verses over pulsating beats, demonstrating his prowess as one of rap’s most dynamic artists. The momentum continues with tracks like “Times Like This,” featuring a collaboration with Fivio Foreign, and “Whatever I Want,” where Meek flexes his lyrical prowess over infectious production.

Moreover, the EP concludes with the highly anticipated collaboration with Future, titled “Giving Chanel,” adding an extra layer of star power to the project. However, Meek’s return to the spotlight comes amidst controversy. Just yesterday, the rapper found himself embroiled in online conversations following allegations made in a lawsuit against Diddy.

Meek Mill Reminds Us He Used To Pray For “Times Like This” On “HEATHENISM” EP

Rather than letting the gossip circulating about him and Diddy in the news get him down, Meek Mill is capitalizing on his moment in the spotlight. He’s not bothering himself with allegations in a recent lawsuit about allegedly being sexually intimate with Sean Combs (who was linked to Usher and Stevie J in the same documents). Instead, the Philadelphia native wants to keep all ears on his lyrical abilities, which he proudly shows off on today’s (February 29) HEATHENISM EP.

The five-track effort includes two collaborations, “Whatever I Want” alongside Fivio Foreign and “Giving Chanel” with Future. Meek handles the other three titles by himself with total confidence, and for our music panel, we’re highlighting his bars on “Times Like This.” Over production by OthelloBeats and Gabe Lucas, the Dream Chaser reflects on how much life has changed for him since first coming up in the rap game.

Ni**as happy that you wrong? / I used to pray for times like this, you can’t even imagine what I be on, ni**a.”

Before showing us how he’s moving in 2024, Meek Mill closed out 2023 with a collaborative album in tandem with Rick Ross.

Meek Mill Drops The ‘Heathenism’ EP While Proclaiming He ‘Ain’t Gay’ In Response To Diddy Rumors

Yesterday (February 28) was an unusual day for Meek Mill. The rapper found himself at the center of online conversations after he appeared to be referenced in a lawsuit filed against Diddy. The suit claims that Diddy said he had sex with a rapper whose name was redacted from the document. A footnote clarified of the redaction, though, “He is a Philadelphia Rapper who dated Nicki Minaj,” which many saw as proof it was Mill the document was addressing.

Mill then got into it with DJ Akademiks, and not long after that, he dropped Heathenism, a new five-track EP that includes features from Future and Fivio Foreign.

Before and after the release of the project, Meek took to X (formerly Twitter) to continue sharing his thoughts on the Diddy situation. He wrote in one tweet, “The 2 things they say … we snitching or we gay ….we generating 100’s of millions from music it’s not a coincidence we all gay and snitches …. They are powering this stuff even if it’s fake! The goal is to disrupt the hip hop community…. I own this music that drop tomar play it!!!!!”

Meek added in another, “Every black blog site enhanced that post to make me seem gay…. I change laws for our people I donate millions … they are designed to destroy the image of black leaders! It can’t work with me tho you gotta really kill me and I still will get bigger after death! This god not me lol.” He also wrote, “When I got a girl around me I’m f#%king her twice a day lol ask some of ya favorites … p*ssy don’t control me but it’s like a high… one love to the gay people but that juicy p#%sy do it for meeeeee [smiling emoji] I done ran red lights to get that feeling yall weird on here like devils lol.”

In response to one user who wrote, “Meek you have the right to remain silent,” the rapper replied, “I have the right to say I ain’t gay and I’ll trash anybody that play with my manhood lol.”
