Former Dreamchasers Member Accuses Meek Mill Of Blackballing Him

Meek Mill

Former Dreamchasers member Dean has come forward to publicly accuse Meek Mill of attempting to blackball him. 

Dean Speaks Out

After Meek Mill recently announced a DreamChasers compilation album, an Instagram live dated Jan. 7 of Dean, a former associate, resurfaced where he vents his frustrations. He expressed disappointment that Meek Mill failed to include him in the upcoming compilation album.

Dean stated:

“I don’t want what he got. I told him everything you got, I want that sh*t for you.”

He also added that he has no plans to release more music with the “House Party” rapper as their beef continues. Dean also added that Meek Mill was a “selfish nut” and a cornball.” He also said that he can’t listen to his music due to him “lying on his name.” 

‘Did I Rob Your House?’

During the live video, Dean also mentioned the Philadelphia rapper accused him of robbing his home in the past, adding that Meek lied in many of his lyrics and lived vicariously through him. Dean said:

“Did I rob your house? Say it. Say it wasn’t me. B*tch ass n*gga, I ain’t robbed your f*cking house.” 

Dean would later reveal that friends and associates of Meek Mill have distanced themselves and excluded him from various social circles.

“Nobody likes me no more. Everybody looks at me like I’m some crazy ass dude. I aint nothing but a good dude.” 

Meek Mill responded in the comment section, saying, “Why you aint say this when you seen me?” and “the mushrooms crazy,” suggesting that Dean was under the influence.

Users on Twitter (X) reacted to Dean’s rant on Meek Mill. One user named @MryoshWhite commented, “He arguing with chat responses…ohh this is good,” and one other user named @444hsr commented, “Talking. About people don’t want to busy with you if you robbed your millionaire friends but then admit you robbed your own cousin who gone want to do business with that type of guy  bro wildin.” 

Dean Brings Up Nicki Minaj

Additionally, Dean recounted an alleged physical altercation between Meek Mill and his former girlfriend, Nicki Minaj. According to Dean, Meek Mill drove Nicki into the woods and left her there, causing her to cry. 

“That n*gga a put her out in the woods. We were out in Jersey somewhere in the woods. That n*gga put her out the house, it’s dark and shit. She cried right here (taps shoulder) am I lying Nicki?”

In 2020, the Queen of Rap accused Meek Mill of abuse, which was three years after their breakup. As of now, Meek Mill has not responded to Dean’s Instagram live on any of his social media platforms.

Meek Mill Unveils Plans For ‘Dream Chasers’ Compilation Album 

Meek Mill is again making waves in the music industry. The Philadelphia rapper has announced his plans to release a compilation album with artists from his label, Dream Chasers. 

New Heat Coming Soon

 On Jan. 8, Meek Mill took to Instagram to share the exciting news, revealing that the album will be titled DREAM CHASERS VOL. 1 LA FAMILIA WE GONE SEE. The title is a nod to rap legend Jay-Z’s iconic compilation album with Roc-A-Fella Records, The Dynasty: Roc La Familia.

‘Dream Chasers’

Under Meek Mill’s leadership, Dream Chasers was introduced in the music industry in 2012. Partnering with Roc Nation as the label’s distributor, the “House Party” rapper has nurtured a roster of talented artists who have captivated audiences with their unique sounds and compelling storytelling. 

Excitement surrounding the upcoming release grew as Meek Mill tagged the artists who will be featured on the album. Artists such as Vory, Yung Ro, Diamond Street Keem, Jaylanie, and more will contribute their unique talents, further adding to the anticipation for the project. 

The Cover Art

The cover art for the album is the “DC” logo shaped by different colored diamonds. New Orleans rapper Curren$y reacted to the news by commenting, “Artwork hard.” 

Other users in the comment section reacted to Meek Mill’s news as well. One user named @nasest99 commented, “Until it drop I don’t wanna believe it,” while one other user named @ethang8s commented “dude WE WANT DC5 WTF…NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS.” DC5 refers to Meek’s mixtape series with DC1-4 already being released. 

As of now, the release date and the complete list of featured artists remain unknown. However, this compilation album is a significant milestone for the Dream Chasers label, marking their first official release of this nature. 

Still Cool

In July 2022, Meek Mill parted ways with Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation and decided to go their separate ways. Meek Mill signed a management deal with Roc Nation in 2012, and Jay-Z would then later share that there were no hard feelings between the two. 

In other Meek Mill news, the rapper was in tears at a December press conference as Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro signed State Bill 38, a groundbreaking probation reform bill. Meek Mill was on probation for over a decade due to a prior arrest and was previously incarcerated. 

Kodak Black & More To Be Featured In ‘The Book of Clarence’ Soundtrack

One other artist who had news of new music was rap legend Jay-Z. He and star singer D’Angelo had a rumored song together on the soundtrack to The Book of Clarence, which HOV is producing. The song is titled “I Want You Forever.”

Dee-1 Champions Meek Mill After “Gangsta” Tweet About Street Life’s Limitations

by

Dee-1 recently praised Meek Mill for a recent tweet that he put out concerning what being a “gangsta” really is. “Being gangsta will get you hurt put in jail or killed ……” the Philly rapper posted on the social media platform on Tuesday (January 2). “Being smart will get you out of poverty and your family and friends living better. It’s no comparison, being smart is the only solid way out the trenches… everything else is wide range life risk just to survive!” Moreover, the Christian MC posted an Instagram video reacting to this on his page. “Big Salute to @meekmill,” he captioned. “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!!! #Dee1 #MeekMill #HipHopCulture #Support #MissionVision.”

“Yeah, salute to Meek Mill for spitting these facts!” Dee-1 said in the clip in question. “And this gon’ have a domino effect in a good way, you heard me? Aye, this shift is happening right now, make sure y’all not late to it, man. And I know this ain’t that sexy for the blogs. They gon’ be like, ‘Wait, Dee-1 supporting what Meek say?’ Yes, absolutely! This man spitting facts! And if you grew up in the streets, then you know that he’s just making it real black and white. ‘Being gangsta will get you hurt, put in jail, or killed.’ Period! ‘Being smart will get you out of poverty, and your family and friends living better.’ Period!

Dee-1 Gives Meek Mill His Flowers: Watch

“That’s important for people to just know it’s that simple,” Dee-1 continued. “‘It’s no comparison. Being smart is the only solid way out the trenches. Everything else is wide range life risk just to survive.’ Come on, man, that’s facts, and this shift is happening right now, man. I love this, I support this, Meek. Big love, and everybody just need to know this, man. It might be common sense to one person to see this. But there’s a lot of people that’s at that crossroads each and every day. Man, be smart. Let’s be smart, and let’s win.”

For those unaware, the New Orleans native previously called Meek and other MCs out for their glorification of violence and street life in their lyrics. Other rappers chimed in with their takes in addition to a clap-back of his own, and it prompted a lot of debate. Maybe Dee’s just compensating for this rift, but it’s still heartening to see them come together on these issues.

Meek Mill & Fivio Foreign Meet Up Amid Theory That They’re The Same Person

by

A lot of rappers have plenty of similarities: their crews, styles, flows, regional loyalties, life experiences.. you name it. However, what’s more rare to see is when fans notice parallels between two completely different MCs from two completely different cities. It’s almost as if they create a multiverse through their head-canon, and a viral Twitter discussion posited that Fivio Foreign and Meek Mill are each other’s equivalents in their respective cities. The reason as to why is up for debate, but we know the Philly MC and Kanye West collaborator– perhaps future collaborator– get along well. Moreover, the two recently enjoyed a fruitful and hype studio session in a new clip they shared to social media.

Furthermore, it would be great to see these two link up for another energetic track together, such as 2020’s “Demons & Goblins.” As for whether Meek Mill and Fivio Foreign are clones of each other, there are certainly many ways in which you could draw these connections. One is their unwavering dedication to their cities, and another is their rapping style and how they typically handle their subject material in their verses. But the same can be said for so many other lyricists, so maybe this is more of a direct talent and relevance comparison, which is impossible to firmly assess.

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

In other news, Meek Mill has other things to worry about that are more important than whether he and Fivio Foreign should get a 23andMe. For example, DJ Akademiks recently called him out, plus Freddie Gibbs, while responding to various sexual assault and grooming allegations against him. “There’s been numerous individuals who probably felt certain way about me over the years,” the media personality stated on his livestream, insinuating the Dream Chasers boss as his target. “Maybe their career wasn’t doing that good. They had to do some bunny-hopping for billionaires, had to sell their houses, they got dropped from their label. They might have thought that I was one of the reasons why their situation went down.”

Meanwhile, the New York drill leader recently “taught” a controversial player in that scene how to do it justice. He and Lil Mabu released the single “TEACH ME HOW TO DRILL,” which stirred the pot in a pretty heated fashion. There’s someone else who might need a lesson, but if fans are onto something, then they are just a clone of Fivio himself. Jokes aside, for more news and the latest updates on Fivio Foreign and Meek Mill, log back into HNHH.

Did Kendrick Lamar Diss Big Sean On His Song ‘Element?’

by

Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers continues to rack up impressive streaming numbers. However, thanks to a viral clip floating around online, his 2017 song “Element” has reentered the mainstream hip-hop chatter. Unlike the official version, Kendrick’s bars in this recording have very clearly named targets. So, did Kendrick diss Big Sean on the unreleased version of “Element?”

The lyrics in question make it hard to refute: “Big Sean keep sneak dissin’ I let it slide / I think his false confidence got him inspired / I can’t make them respect you, baby, it’s not my job / You’re finally famous for who you date, not how you rhyme boy/ Cute ass raps, get your puberty up.” However, during his causal chat with TMZ, Big Sean shut down the idea of any lingering beef between the two.

He went as far as to dismiss the supposed leaked verse, saying, “Ain’t no diss. If it was a diss, it would be a diss!”

Big Sean was the only person mentioned in the unreleased recording. French Montana and Jay Electronica both caught strays. Even Meek Mill and Drake are referenced. Since Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Big Sean’s 2013 “Control” song, supporters of each rapper have speculated that they’ve subtly taken jabs at each other on records throughout the years.

Listen to the official version of Kendrick Lamar’s song “Element” above.
