Well, about that whole extortion story involving Meek Mill. The Philly rapper has forcefully denied explosive allegations that he was extorted for $50,000 by members of a Los Angeles gang, calling the claims completely fabricated. The controversy stems from a recent podcast interview where a man identifying as Luce Cannon of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips made startling accusations about the Philadelphia artist.
Get this, during an appearance on the Off the Record podcast hosted by Akademiks, Cannon alleged that his group confronted Meek Mill at a nightclub over social media comments and demanded payment. “We needed that bag,” Cannon claimed, stating they held Meek until Rick Ross allegedly sent the money.
Meek Mill swiftly responded to these allegations via Twitter on March 25, vehemently denying ever encountering Cannon or being involved in any such incident. “This guy must be using a story to confuse his indictment because I never seen him before… I would have put him to the ‘gods test’ on the spot! I never even met buddy but I don’t ‘negotiate’ with ‘fake thugs’,” the rapper tweeted.
The Dreamchasers artist emphasized his standing in the hip-hop community and his principled approach to conflict. “It’s a real world, real LA n-ggas that respect the shit out of me how I carry myself in an open arms way to build my people up,” Meek stated, referencing his relationships with West Coast figures like the late Nipsey Hussle.
Meek concluded with a bold challenge: “I always been down to meet up with ‘fake street bullies’ in abandoned areas where it’s no civilians and take their heart!” The tweets collectively painted a picture of an artist confident in his reputation and unwilling to entertain what he views as baseless street gossip.
