Meek Mill voiced his support for Chris Brown on Twitter, Sunday night, after the singer claimed the NBA uninvited him from the All-Star Celebrity Game to keep sponsors happy. In turn, Meek criticized Ruffles and told fans to support Rap Snacks.
“That’s why it’s important we support rap snacks …. I live @RapSnacksNow over ruffles black owned and taste better!!!!!!” Meek wrote. Brown explained the situation on his Instagram Story, implying that backlash to his infamous felony assault conviction for physically abusing Rihanna in 2009 caused the league to drop him from the game.

“I was asked by the NBA to play in the All-Star Game this year!” Brown revealed. “Only for them to call later and say I couldn’t do it because of their sponsors like Ruffles. At this point, I’m sick of bothering me and I’m tired of living in the f*cking past. I posted the emails so y’all could see. The NBA still was tryna get me to come and sit court side… NOT F*CKING HAPPENING.” For its part, Ruffles has released a statement denying that they protested any celebrities involvement in the game. “Ruffles sponsored last night’s NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, however Ruffles did not have any involvement in, nor visibility to, any player decisions or celebrity invite discussions,” the company said.
