Meek Mill & 50 Cent’s Beef, Revisited: A Timeline Of Events

by

50 Cent is no stranger to rap beefs but his constant trolling often stings more than anything he’s said on wax. Take his beef with Meek Mill for example, where 50 Cent uploaded creative photos on Instagram to troll the Dream Chasers rapper instead of releasing diss tracks. In fact, it’s become a part of his brand now to laugh at whoever he’s publicly squabbling with. Nonetheless, the two made up a few years ago, but some recent Fif trolling might be looking to threaten their peace treaty.

50 Cent has recently been trolling Meek Mill regarding Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy that alleged the Philadelphia rapper had sexual relations with the Bad Boy mogul. And while these allegations have circulated, Fif has warned Meek that he has bigger issues to be worried about, specifically the rumors that Meek might have been caught on tape at Diddy’s homes. Meek seems to be taking the high road, but it may be only a matter of time before he speaks out. Either way, let’s revisit the beef between the two rappers.

August 2015: Meek Mill Pokes Fun At 50 Cent

A clip of 50 Cent playfully manhandling Tony Yayo, a fellow G-Unit member, started the beef with Meek Mill. Meek was one of many people to comment on the clip. He reposted the video on his Instagram with the caption, “Yayo getting dumped in the bushes by 50,” with multiple crying emojis. This led to 50 Cent leaving a sharp comment saying, “That’s us playing, but you do be around some niggas I would put on their head. No bullshit.” 

November 2015: 50 Cent Laughs At Meek Mill Amidst Drake Beef

During one of his concerts in Sweden, 50 Cent decided to bring the smoke. He took shots at other members of Maybach Music Group, amidst his beef with their leader, Rick Ross. Specifically, he praised Drake’s diss track against Meek, “Back To Back.” Furthermore, he compared the two to kids fighting in the schoolyard, saying that Drake “slapped the shit” out of Meek.

Jan 16, 2016: Meek Drops “Gave ‘Em Hope’”

In 2016, Meek Mill released the EP 4/4 which featured the track “Gave ‘Em Hope.” The song included some targeted lines that called out 50 Cent for associating himself with “rats,” possibly referencing a photo of 50 Cent and Rick Ross’ groundskeeper who accused the MMG boss of kidnapping him. Meek Mill also took jabs at 50 Cent for filing for bankruptcy. Finally, he called back to the rumors that 50 Cent was gay.

Jan 17, 2016: An Instagram Battle Royale

Shortly after, 50 Cent took to Instagram to share his thoughts on Meek Mill’s song. In true Fif fashion, he clowned the “Gave ‘Em Hope” rapper. He shared memes with captions, such as, “You better focus on getting Nikki pregnant so you can at least get child support girl.” He also called Meek, “Hip Hop’s first r***rded MC,” among many others. 

50 Cent didn’t stop there though. He also posted some creative edits of Meek Mill, such as putting his face on a troll magazine cover, posting a picture of the alphabet, and replacing the letter “L” with Meek’s face. As if that wasn’t enough, Fif also uploaded a picture of the poop emoji, covered with little pictures of Meek. Much to the excitement of onlookers, the Insta trolling wasn’t one-sided.

Meek doubled down with an Instagram post, sharing a picture of himself holding stacks of money with a loaded caption. He spoke on 50 Cent’s beef with Rick Ross and how Ross’ baby mama sued him. Meek also took shots at Fif’s relationship with his son. To top it off, he insulted his liquor brand and clowned him for being on the internet all day. He then signed out as “Instafingers,” referring to the nickname Drake had given him during their beef — “Twitter fingers.”

January 18-29, 2016: The Flint Water Crisis And “F*ck Meek Mill”

Amidst their Instagram squabbles, some fans pointed out that both rappers could better spend their time, specifically by helping out the Flint, MI water crisis. Meek Mill, who is no stranger to charitable donations, pledged $50,000 to the cause. He also used the opportunity to challenge Fif to match his donation. Instead, 50 Cent only responded publicly with more memes, claiming that Meek Mill only engaged in charity work for the tax write-offs. A few weeks later, 50 Cent got the crowd to chant “Fuck Meek Mill” with him at his performance at B.B. Kings.

July 2017: 50 Cent And Meek Mill Squash Their Beef

Meek Mill released his next album, Wins & Losses a year later, but instead of more 50 Cent disses, Meek revealed during the album’s press run that the two had made amends. In an interview on The Angie Martinez Show, Meek revealed that he and 50 had bumped into each other nearly a year ago and finally had a conversation. He shared that the two, “went to the side like men and had a good conversation.” Therefore, the beef quietly ended behind the scenes.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Despite Meek Mill’s words, many fans didn’t believe that the two rappers had truly put their differences behind them. That is why when it came out that they would both be in Vegas for the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight, many thought that this would lead to a public altercation. Instead, the two shared the stage at the nightclub Drai’s, performing one of Meek’s biggest hits, “Dreams & Nightmares.” They also posed for pictures together. 

 March 2024: 50 Cent Laughs At Meek Mill Jokes

While 50 Cent and Meek Mill haven’t exactly been engaging one another, 2024 is looking different. In December 2023, Fif laughed at Rick Ross and Meek’s first week sales for their collab album, Too Good To Be True. However, that didn’t stir the pot enough to warrant another social media back-and-forth. Fast forward to March 2024, and 50 Cent has publicly reposted jokes and insults targeted at Meek Mill. So while he’s not the originator of these jokes, he’s enjoying being an instigator. 

Amidst the ongoing Diddy scandal, allegations that the mogul and Meek Mill were engaged in a sexual relationship haven’t stopped making the rounds. Fif shared a video of someone in a red dress, with the caption, “Meek Mill leaving Diddy’s house.” Although the post has since been deleted, 50 Cent remarked, “Who did this?” at the video. 

Moreover, following Andrew Schulz’s comedy set where he laughed at Meek Mill’s alleged sexuality, 50 Cent also reposted the video to his platform. It’s unclear whether Fif is just trolling as usual or there’s been a reignited beef. Either way, Meek hasn’t responded to the trolls directly.

April 2024: “They Think You On Them Tapes”

As Meek Mill continues to insist he’s straight, 50 Cent says the rapper has more to worry about. In fact, Fif has told Meek to leave the gay rumors alone and focus on the gossip surrounding an alleged tape involving Diddy. Meek earlier shared that his son was confused at the rumors surrounding his sexuality. Fif subsequently reposted one of these headlines regarding Meek’s statement to Instagram and captioned it, saying: “Got Damn it. People don’t think you are gay @meekmillnews they think you on them tapes. Old boy was filming every room even the toilets.” So maybe Fif does have Meek’s back after all.

What Happened Between JT & GloRilla?

by

GloRilla and JT have been the topic of a flurry of rumors for over five months. At first, all indications that these rumors held no weight. However, this has since been upturned as the pair have traded some serious insults on Twitter. Beyond that, they’ve issued some even more serious threats to one another. In fact, JT has made it very clear that she doesn’t mind going back to jail, despite GloRilla recently claiming that they aren’t beefing on “Aite.” It’s unclear where they currently stand, but after the release of “Aite,” GloRilla and JT have not seen eye to eye.  

Read More: GloRilla “Ehhthang Ehhthang” Review

The Armon Wiggins Story 

The story about the alleged incident was made known to the public by The Rap-Up podcast’s Armon Wiggins in October 2023. The story went something like this: GloRilla approached JT at the 2023 VMAs with what seemed to be a friendly gesture. However, the interaction didn’t go as planned because JT allegedly rebuffed her. Glo then allegedly got violent and sent a drink, a hand, or a purse flying JT’s way. This incident set tongues wagging, and before long, the rumor mill churned out the story that GloRilla slapped JT.

Many found Armon Wiggins’ dramatic tale a little hard to believe especially since no one else had corroborated these claims. The only third party to ever disclose the story is Wiggins and he divulged this anecdote a month after the VMAs, a highly publicized event. To further clear the air, GloRilla’s album Ehhthang Ehhthang, released on April 5, included the song “Aite.” In the lyrics, GloRilla addressed the situation with JT, stating, “Me and JT ain’t the best of friends, but we ain’t beefin’.”

April 5th Wasn’t “Aite”

While the story should have ended there, the story took yet another turn after JT, in multiple posts denied having been hit by GloRilla. On April 5th, she made yet another tweet denying it but also accused Glo of perpetuating a false story through her music. She said that GloRilla was playing into the rumors for publicity when she “…released a song about slapping b*tches…” only to follow it up with “Aite,” and “…now it’s female unity??CORNY!!!!”

In response, GloRilla fiercely defended her song in a series of tweets that have since been deleted. “Hoe shut yo dumb ass up & fix dem uglass wigs I said it ain’t no beef ho you da one with da secret animosity,” she began. Soon after, she followed up another tweet that read, “I mentioned yo name to clear the air, what you wanted me to say I didn’t slap you but with a purse instead?? Scary ass ho.”

The drama between GloRilla and JT escalated further when Glo shared a tweet that read, “Nvm no free promo.” This seemingly innocuous statement set off a chain reaction of heated exchanges. JT, not one to hold back, responded vehemently. She accused GloRilla of being a liar and dismissed the idea that GloRilla had hit her with anything. She tweeted: “OMG you are a liarrrr! B*tch you didn’t hit me with shit FANNED out ass b*tch you approach me sounding like an old beat-up box Chevy ‘WHAT UP GANG’.”

Evidently, GloRilla wasn’t backing down either. She referenced the night of the altercation one more time saying: “Inmate 0983 was taking off her shoes like she was gone get to me. Didn’t know if her a$$ was trying to get active or get sturdy. Lying about getting touched is crazyyy.”

Threats And Promises Made

GloRilla subsequently issued a warning to JT. She threatened to show up uninvited at one of JT’s “Backyard BBQ shows.” The gloves were off, and both artists began making bold threats. Before then, JT accused Glo of causing “all that sh*t with FNF remix too! Came in the game messy & phony ready to switch up on [her] homies too had to jump back on the roof.”

However, in a cryptic move, JT also made another tweet captioned with the word “Pending.” The tweet was a picture showing eight of her mugshots from over the years. The red-circled blank spot hinted at an upcoming addition to her collection. It was a bold statement, suggesting that she wasn’t one to shy away from a physical confrontation, and was ready for whatever turn it would take.

Glo took her up on the offer though. She replied that JT didn’t have what it took to face her since “dem mugshots is from you stealing not fighting.” JT followed that up by making her threats against GloRilla even bolder. Specifically, she wrote that her ninth mugshot would be from me “poking holes in you like the air mattresses you were sleeping on.” 

It’s Probably Not Over Yet

Two days before, JT had also taken to social media to address female rappers who allegedly sneak dissed her. She tweeted, “Bitches be Sneak dissing letting their flunky wanna be ME ass friends hype their head up, but when I come, just know I’m not gonna play with neither one of y’all bitches. Y’all are long overdue.”  Since then, she has had online rifts, even with her best friend, fellow City Girl Yung Miami. She also got into it with Cardi B as well.

Meanwhile, GloRilla made an appearance at the 2024 CMT Music Awards. When asked about the back-and-forth with JT on Twitter, GloRilla chose to respond in a cryptic manner. In fact, her reply was rather philosophical. She simply said, “Everything just always everything. At the end of the day, that day gon’ motherf—in’ end. Everything is everything. That day gotta end.”

What Did ASAP Rocky Say About Drake?

by

Drake and ASAP Rocky have a long history that dates all the way back to the early 2010s. At the start of their relationship, they were friends. As a matter of fact, some consider Drake to be a significant contributor to ASAP’s subsequent success in the music industry. Many fans believe that the tale of ASAP Rocky’s rise to stardom cannot be told without mentioning Drake. 

Yet, over the years, the relationship between the two has turned sour. Since ASAP Rocky began dating Rihanna, his relationship with Drake has slowly deteriorated. So much so that the two have now fired shots at each other via diss tracks. The most recent jab was from ASAP and is featured on “Show of Hands,” a track from Future and Metro Boomin’s latest collab project, We Still Don’t Trust You. It remains to be seen if the two rappers will ever reconcile and become friends again. However, the chances of that ever happening seem to get smaller by the day. 

ASAP Rocky Disses Drake On “Show Of Hands”

This has been an interesting year for Hip Hop so far, with a number of prominent acts taking shots at Drake. It began with Kendrick Lamar on “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin. Now, ASAP Rocky has also dissed Drake on another Future and Metro Boomin track. The song, “Show of Hands,” is featured on the duo’s latest project, WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. On the track, ASAP spits some venomous bars supposedly aimed at Drake. “Ni**as swear they bi**h the baddest, I just bagged the worst one / Ni**as in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’? / I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son / Still don’ trust you, it’s always us, never them / Heard you dropped your latest sh*t / Funny how it just came and went,” Rocky raps on the track. As things get more heated, fans eagerly wait to see if Drake will respond to ASAP Rocky more directly in the future. 

Drake & ASAP Rocky’s Early Relationship

After ASAP Rocky released “Purple Swag” and “Peso” in 2011, he got the attention of many in the music industry, one of whom was Drake. Following the release of his critically acclaimed mixtape Live. Love. ASAP (2011), Rocky garnered even more public attention. Sometime within that period, he linked up with Drake, and the two began working together. Subsequently, in 2012, ASAP Rocky served as an opening act for Drake on his Club Paradise Tour. It was the highest-grossing Hip Hop tour of 2012, introducing many new listeners to ASAP Rocky. Later, on October 24, 2012, the rapper released “F**kin’ Problems,” which features Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and 2 Chainz. That track remains the only one featuring both rappers. However, they stayed on good terms for several years afterward. The tension between the two started much later, in 2020, when ASAP Rocky got into a romantic relationship with Rihanna, Drake’s ex.

2022: Drake Expresses Displeasure At ASAP Rocky & Rihanna’s Relationship

When news of Rihanna and ASAP Rocky dating came out in 2021, many wondered how Drake took it. While we can’t say for sure, chances are the “Take Care” rapper didn’t take the news very well. However, throughout 2021, he ignored the topic and did not address either ASAP or Rihanna. Subsequently, in January 2022, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. Soon after this revelation, X news account @PopTingzz reported that Drake had unfollowed both ASAP Rocky and Rihanna. While he still hadn’t directly addressed the topic, according to fans, his actions said more than enough.

2023: Drake Allegedly Disses Rihanna On For All the Dogs

On February 12, 2023, Rihanna headlined the Super Bowl LVII halftime show. At the end of her performance, she revealed that she was pregnant for ASAP Rocky once again and was expecting the child soon. Following the news, Drake was trolled on the internet for “losing the girl” and watching ASAP Rocky live his dreams. However, the rapper still did not address the topic. Subsequently, on October 6, 2023, Drake released his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs. On the track “Fear of Heights,” he finally seemed to speak about Rihanna, albeit indirectly. 

“Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? / That could never be/ Gyal can’t run me / Better him than me / Better it’s not me,” he raps in the opening lines of the track. “I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you,” Drake continues, not so subtly. Later in October, when a reporter from TMZ caught up with ASAP and asked if he would respond to Drake, he ignored the question. Well, we certainly got our answer in 2024.

Are Ye & Diddy Frenemies? Examining Their Relationship

by

Kanye West and Diddy are two of the most controversial figures in pop culture today. They’ve both made headlines individually for an array of accusations and actions, as well as for their on-again, off-again relationship. Questions about the status of their friendship were sparked once more in 2024 after Ye reportedly snubbed Diddy at Rolling Loud. So, where do these two stand? Let’s take a trip down their friendship timeline. 

December 2019: Ye Attends Diddy’s 50th Birthday 

NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 12: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (L) and Kanye West backstage at the adidas Originals x Kanye West YEEZY SEASON 1 fashion show during New York Fashion Week Fall 2015 at Skylight Clarkson Sq on February 12, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for adidas)

Amid Ye’s highly publicized rift with another music industry legend, Jay-Z, the two were spotted at Diddy’s extravagant birthday bash. Ye and Jay-Z seemed to squash their beef during the event, at least temporarily. Similarly, Ye was seen taking pictures with Diddy as the two chatted during the event. Things were pretty calm in the years following the party. 

June 2022: Ye Presents The BET Lifetime Achievement Award To Diddy

Ye made a surprise attendance at the 2022 BET Awards to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Diddy. His kind words of praise for Combs showed that the two were still on good terms at the time and had mutual respect. During Ye’s speech, he asked, “How do we crown our kings? How do we appreciate our kings?” He also added that he “goes to [Diddy] for advice to this day” and that Diddy “inspired so many of my life choices, my wife’s choices” (referring to his then-wife, Kim Kardashian). 

He ended his speech by saying, “This man has been through and survived a lot of stuff and broke down a lot of doors so we can be standing. He also added, “He broke down so many doors of classism, taste, culture, swag. Puff, if I never told you, I love you. You’re my brother.” The heartfelt moment was capped with a hug shared between Ye and Diddy.

October 5, 2022: White Lives Matter Shirt Beef

Only a few months after their emotional embrace on the BET stage, Diddy spoke about Kanye following the rapper’s controversial “White Lives Matter” shirt. In an interview on The Breakfast Club, he seemed to defend Ye’s actions. Diddy referred to Kanye as a “free thinker.” Furthermore, he maintained that many of the things Ye says and does are “misconstrued.”

When he was accused by Charlamagne The God of defending Ye, Diddy insisted that he wasn’t. Instead, he clarified his stance by explaining where he felt Ye was coming from. He concluded by saying that Ye didn’t need to be condemned or canceled, but rather, he should take accountability for his actions. A few days later, Diddy shared a video on his Instagram, addressing the White Lives Matter shirt once again. In the video, he said, “I’ll always support my brother Kanye as a freethinker, but the ‘white lives matter’ shirt, I don’t rock with it.”

October 7, 2022: Kanye Responds

Ye didn’t take so kindly to Diddy’s statements about his shirt, both in public and private. As a result, he responded with a series of Instagram posts. They included screenshots of texts between him and Diddy where things got a bit heated. Diddy asked for Ye to meet him in person, saying, “Let’s stop playing these internet games.” However, Ye responded with hostility, saying he would use Diddy as “an example to show the Jewish people that told [Diddy] to call me that no one can threaten or influence me,” also adding that “this is a war.” 

When Diddy stated that he was just trying to speak to Ye as a Black man because his actions were hurting the culture, Ye stated that he would be posting anything that Diddy said. He doubled down on his actions, saying, “I’m selling these tees. Nobody gets in between me and my money,” alongside other aggravated comments. He later deleted all the posts as he is known to do, but it seems the two never reconciled from the beef. 

October 15, 2022: Ye Calls Diddy A Fed

Just a week after their public feud began, Ye was interviewed on an episode of Drink Champs, where he had a lot to say about many rappers in the industry. Naming Diddy, alongside Meek Mill and others, Ye called them feds. He also claimed they turned on him to save themselves from serving time. The interview was later taken down for Kanye’s racist and antisemitic comments. Nonetheless, it began to resurface in 2024 following the FBI raid on Diddy’s homes. 

March 2024: Rolling Loud Snub

The most recent public encounter between the two music juggernauts happened at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles. The two had seemingly not reconciled since butting heads in 2022, and Ye’s treatment of Diddy at Rolling Loud was proof of that. Diddy was seen watching Ye’s Rolling Loud set with his son Justin Combs. Rumor had it that he planned on speaking with Ye privately after the set. However, Complex reported that Kanye allegedly curved Diddy, declining to speak with him and leaving without saying a word to the rapper.

What Did Drake Say To ASAP Rocky Before The ‘Show Of Hands’ Diss?

by

Drake’s got some “F*ckin’ Problems” lately. His most immediate appears to be that half the rappers who appeared with him on that song in 2013 seem to hate him now — or at least, that’s rap kayfabe these days. Drake’s feud with Kendrick has turned into a full-blown ambush, with ASAP Rocky and The Weeknd joining the festivities on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album We Still Don’t Trust You. Drake’s the Toranaga of hip-hop’s version of Shogun and at this point, it looks like Future is Kazunari, leading the rest of the regents against him.

However, unlike the Japanese feudal lord in that show, it could be argued that Drake’s brought a lot of this on himself. For instance, ASAP Rocky probably wouldn’t have thrown shots in his “Show My Hands” verse had Drake left well enough alone on his most recent album, For All The Dogs. In multiple songs — “Fear Of Heights,” “Virginia Beach,” and “Another Late Night” — he makes subtle references to his prior relationship with Rihanna and drops digs at Rocky for ending up with her in the end. Rihanna and Rocky share two children together and have been rumored to be either engaged or married for the past year. Drake also seemingly alluded to Rihanna during his tour for the album earlier this year.

On “Fear Of Heights,” Drake sings, “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? / That could never be / Gyal can’t ruin me / Better him than me / Better it’s not me / I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you / Okay, I’m auntie like your daddy sister / Auntie like a family picture / And I had way badder b*tches than you, TBH / Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you / Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antilles.” Which… come on, man. Do better.

It was all good just a couple of years ago, too. Drake was popping out at ASAP Rocky’s shows in 2019 and gifting him $150k chains in 2020. However, after Rihanna and Rocky went public with their relationship in 2022, Drake unfollowed the pair on Instagram, passive-aggressive millennials’ official signal that “we can’t be friends.” And Drake is nothing if not passive-aggressive.

Rocky appeared to hit back at Drake earlier this year as well, with fans interpreting lines from his verse on Kid Cudi’s album as shots at the Canadian certified lover boy. If 2 Chainz comes out of the woodwork to smoke his “No Lie” collaborator too, Drake’s going to need an intervention. Maybe Post Malone or somebody can be his John Blackthorne.

Vince Staples Doesn’t Approve Of Streamers Using Drake And Kendrick Lamar Beef To Promote Themselves

Ever since his debut, Vince Staples has been reliable for offering a unique viewpoint on the issues facing hip-hop. With seemingly everyone in the genre focused on the possible feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, he unsurprisingly had a skewed take that pointed out a huge problem when it comes to the business of selling rap beef.

Noticing that Spotify had begun running billboards in Times Square reading, “Hip-hop is a competitive sport,” Vince censured the streamer in the latest episode of the Joe Budden Podcast. When the host called the Long Beach rapper and asked about the supposed dispute between Drake and Kendrick, Staples called out both Spotify and the rest of the cast.

“We either with the coonin’ or we not, bro,” he said. “Once n****s get mad, we got billboards from streamers talking about ‘Hip-Hop is a sport’, but we ain’t never seen a billboard from a streamer that said ‘give that n**** his publishing back.’” He also made several salient points about the adoption of hip-hop in pop music and tech while cutting out as many of the craftspeople involved as possible. Naturally, those goofs argued with Vince, making fun of him for “always being on some cerebral sh*t,” but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s right.

City Girls’ Internal Beef Proved Short-Lived As JT And Yung Miami Publicly Made Up After Their Online Spat

by

While it may seem like the whole rap community has beef at the moment, at least one pair of feuding friends seems to have laid their discord to rest. JT and Yung Miami, known collectively as City Girls, fell out and made up over the course of several hours yesterday after a heated back-and-forth on Twitter (never X) was reconciled by something as simple as a phone call. How novel!

The tweets have all been deleted, but The Shade Room proved useful for something, capturing screenshots of the tail end of their exchange. After one last tweet from JT popped up on the timeline arguing that she has reason to be mad, Miami expressed confusion, saying “Jatavia we just got off the phone… now we back to the internet???”

Fortunately, the issue was quickly resolved. “This tweet was BEFORE the phone conversation,” JT explained. “Don’t know why it didn’t go through. Maybe because everyone was blowing up my phone!” In response, Miami declared she was “moving on,” telling her partner-in-rhyme, “I love you.” JT’s reply? “I love you more. I actually love you the most!”

Now THAT’s how you handle a falling out.

While Drake and Kendrick probably won’t be doing this anytime soon, it’s nice to see that some folks still know how to act, even if fans online love to feed into the negativity.

Meek Mill & Wale Beef: A Timeline Of Firing Shots & Reconciliation

by

The beef between rap heavyweights Meek Mill and Wale has spanned for about a decade now, much longer than many fans thought it would last. Since 2014, the two have fired shots at each other. There were moments of peace in between, and once or twice, fans even thought the two had finally reconciled for good. 

However, the feud was always revived by either of the two. Even in April 2024, they are still going at it, although Wale is maintaining his peace this time around. At this point, their fans wonder if the pair will ever truly reconcile. Another set of onlookers wonder if the feud has been staged all along, particularly because of its on-and-off nature. Here is a timeline of the longstanding beef between Meek Mill and Wale.

2014: The Feud Begins And Quickly Ends

The genesis of this beef can be traced back to July 2014. While there may have been some tension between Meek Mill and Wale before then, it was in 2014 that the beef officially began in public. In detail, on July 8, 2014, Meek Mill took to Twitter to get some things off his chest about Wale. In a series of tweets, he accused Wale of being unsupportive and said the “Lotus Flower Bomb” rapper was not loyal to MMG. “Wale just ain’t gone tweet a thing about my album…. He’s been hating on me long time now,” one of the tweets read.

Subsequently, only a few hours later, Wale responded to Meek Mill’s tweets with a lengthy caption on Instagram. “I’m sensitive ok. Maybe bi polar. But one thing I’m not is a hater,” a part of the now-deleted post reads. Soon after, Rick Ross, MMG label boss, quelled the beef between the two. Speaking with Global Grind later in July 2014, Ross shared how he stepped in to de-escalate things. “Those are brothers, you know. Soon as those tweets went out, we all got on the phone, and, you know, that was the end of it,” he said.

2015: The Beef Starts Up Again

After July 2014, all seemed to be well between Meek Mill and Wale again. As a matter on fact, when Wale addressed the feud in June 2015, the rapper called Mill family. “We’re just a brotherhood. We’re both competitive. We both want to be the best,” he said, speaking to MTV. However, it wasn’t long afterward that something happened to spark the flames of their feud up again. During an interview on The Breakfast Club in October 2015, Wale discussed Meek Mill’s beef with Drake. “I honestly think [Meek Mill] brought a pencil to a gun fight,” Wale said. Unfortunately, Meek Mill didn’t like that very much.

A few hours after the interview was uploaded on YouTube, Meek Mill already had some words for Wale. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Mill wrote, “N***as b doing all this to drop a new record gossiping about they h*e a*s feelings and they personal life because they miserable and nobody don’t rock wit them! Really stay away from me Fam!

2015: Rick Ross Mediates Once Again

After Mill’s outburst, Rozay came into the picture yet again, quenching the fire of the beef. In a Snap video, he reassured fans that things between the two rappers had been ironed out.“Just got a few calls with n***as asking me about my little brothers, the squad. It’s MMG forever, n***a. The empire. F**k that,” Rick Ross said. Concluding with concise lines that got fans excited, he said, “MMG, b*tch. Young Meek Mill. Legend Wale. Self Made 4.” The announcement of the album possibly dropping soon was enough to distract fans from the beef. 

Subsequently, in November 2015, Rozay spoke further about the beef being over and done with. In an interview with AllHipHop.com, he said, “You know, those brothers forever. That’s my family. As you can see it’s already done came and went. It’s all about making dope music. And like I said, I feel like me being in a position I am. Me being a boss. Me being as experienced as I am, I feel like them going through that, or whatever you call it, in 10 years when they’re executives they’re gonna be able to give that same game to youngstas. Like ‘Yo, I did that before, but this how we do it.’ I look at things different.”

On October 6, 2020, Meek Mill shared a very exciting photo on Instagram. The photo featured Mill and Wale, both with masks on. Following their beef, many fans doubted their relationship could ever go back to being what it was. However, they seemed to be well on their way to being great friends again. The now-deleted post was captioned “Me and @wale argued a thousand times & made millions together #MMGVIBES” with a hug emoji. Seeing the pair like that warmed the hearts of many fans, understandably.

2023: Rick Ross Speaks On Meek Mill & Wale

On May 13, 2023, an episode of Drink Champs featuring Rick Ross premiered. During his appearance on the show, Rozayspoke about everything from African music, to Wingstop and DJ Khaled. The MMG boss also made sure to briefly gush about Wale and Meek Mill, two of the signees he’s most proud of. “Without a doubt, to just see them grow and for me to be a young CEO. Of course, I’m already f**king with my brothers Gunplay, them my n***as. But going out and signing Wale and signing Meek, and watching what they both blossomed into, it felt good because I just knew I was correct on what I seen. I saw that they were both geniuses. I saw that they were both dope as f**k,” Rozay said proudly.

January 2024: Meek Mill Says He Holds No Grudges Against Wale

During a Q&A session with his X (formerly Twitter) fans on January 20, 2024, someone asked Meek Mill if he had an ongoing feud with Wale. “Hellllllllllllll no. We had our arguments b4 years back but I came in this game getting money with him …I’m not holding no grudges against my peoples.. and for what???” Meek Mill wrote. This was an answer most fans of the two rappers were very happy to see. Unfortunately, not very long afterward, the feud was revived.

April 2024: Meek Mill Lashes Out And Wale Responds

In a surprising turn of events, Meek Mill took to X to take shots at Wale on April 8, 2024. This happened a day after a photo of Wale surfaced with Dean Stay Reddy, an ex-friend of Mill’s who he now considers an enemy. “Wale never liked me… now ima treat him like the streets everytime I see him … Igave him 1000 chances these guys be thinking they linking with the enemy clown a** ni**a I wish I woulda knew the other day I woulda stretched you,” Mill wrote.

Soon after, Wale responded. “When u get in other people unserious drama in this industry 90 [percent] of the time they be back friends… eventually ..and then u look silly… in the end… so I love minding my business. If a photo can create such vitriol, one has to ask himself some questions. Happy Monday,” he wrote. Subsequently, Meek Mill replied with a series of tweets that included jabs calling Wale “a hoe” and “jealous.”

Even City Girls Appear To Have Beef With Each Other As JT And Yung Miami Trade Shots Online

Blame it on the election year, the eclipse, or something else, but the hip-hop world has descended into utter chaos in 2024. First, there was Ice Spice and Latto, then there was Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj. Kendrick Lamar threw shots at Drake and J. Cole; J. Cole shot back and apologized a few days later. Today, not only did Meek Mill air out his feelings about Wale but now, City Girls JT and Yung Miami are having it out on the timeline, apparently prompted by perceived shade from Saucy Santana.

Buckle up, this is a bumpy ride.

So, I guess the place to start is JT, who has been on a Nicki Minaj-esque tweet rampage for the past several hours, arguing with infamous Stan acoount Ken Barbie (please understand, all of these people need to get a life, but it’s high school on Stan Twitter 24/7, so of course, this is where it all started). Meanwhile, Yung Miami was dealing with a Stan troll of her own, and when her good friend Santana inserted himself into the conversation is where things really went left.

After telling off the stan in question (and receiving a catty reply in return), Santana tried to dismiss their return fire about Yung Miami being caught in the crossfire of Diddy’s ongoing legal drama. Unfortunately, JT apparently took his snide reference to TV shows about Diddy’s ongoing problems personally. “Your not my power of attorney sit your ass down!!!” she told him. She also took a separate tweet from Yung Miami around the same time the same way, interpreting Miami’s assertion that “A bitch been sneak dissing me for weeks” to be a reference to herself.

That opened the floodgates, and JT lit into her partner-in-rhyme, prompting a back-and-forth that is still ongoing, as of press time.

You can see more of the ongoing feud below. If all this is just rollout for a reunion album, I will be FURIOUS.

Meek Mill Drags His Former MMG Compatriot Wale, Who He Says ‘Never Liked Me’

It looks like everybody in hip-hop is catching the rap beef bug. After Kendrick Lamar threw a lyrical chair in the direction of Drake and J. Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album a few weeks ago, all hell has broken loose. The chaos now encompasses GloRilla and JT, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar, and now, even Meek Mill is letting his Twitter fingers fly again (I guess he forgot what happened the last time he got too reckless online).

This time, the target for Meek’s ire is another frequent collaborator: former Maybach Music Group compatriot Wale, who apparently was seen in a photo with another rapper with whom Meek has an unfriendly relationship. Ant Glizzy, a rapper from Washington, DC — like Wale — had previously done an interview with Akademiks in which he suggested that Wale and Meek had so much friction that Wale apparently “hated” Meek.

After Wale wrote, “When u get in other people unserious drama in this industry 90pct of the time they be back friends… eventually ..and then u look silly,” Meek unleashed a torrent of criticism for his former labelmate, despite previously shutting down rumors of beef between the two.

Sharing a link to Akademiks’ TikTok (apparently ignoring he has had it in for the Instagram influencer for some time, as well), Meek snapped back, “I ignored this because if this was true you would be in danger … but now I see you around guys that’s on full meek campaigns.” In a follow-up, he also insinuated that he even risked his freedom while on probation to jump into a fight and save Wale, who was getting “beat up” at his own birthday party.

“When I met wale he got beat up at his bday party in dc got his teeth knocked out,” he wrote. “I jumped in because a celebrity like him invited me I was violating probation in dc risked my life… to find out he never liked me will make you angry! That’s just me tho… I tried to be cool with this lame for Ross business I woulda been treated him.”

Maybe Meek’s still drunk from partying at Wrestlemania… But at some point, you’d think he would learn to handle his problems out of the public eye.
