Meek Mill Talks Drake Beef and His Involvement With Safaree Getting Jumped
“I don’t know nothing about him getting jumped on.”
Having recently released his latest album, Wins & Losses, Meek Mill has been giving the usual run of interviews in a bid to promote the new project. As part of the latest — a conversation with Billboard – the Philadelphia rapper spoke about a multitude of topics, from why he landed on the title for his album to run-ins with the law and getting into film. He also spoke candidly about his reaction to the ongoing saga of 2015’s extremely public fallout with Drake and exactly what happened with Safaree.
On how he dealt with the criticism from the Drake fallout:
I’ll look at the Internet and see comments like, ‘Meek got Nicki money.’ You can’t know nothing about Meek Mill if you saying something like that. They be like ‘Meek Mill can’t rap.’… ‘Somebody wrote Meek Mill raps’. … I came up on YouTube rapping since I was 14 years old. That’s my importance to the streets. They seen me come up. My story is not a facade.
On his involvement with Safaree getting jumped:
I don’t know nothing about him getting jumped on. I pulled up and actually seen him getting into an altercation. You can look at my face and see that I was surprised. Me and my friends had a party at that spot that night, so that’s somewhere we were supposed to be going. I don’t communicate with him. I don’t know him. I don’t even want to base those guys in this interview. That’s not even on my level. Street fights take place all the time. I ain’t touch nobody. Didn’t put no hand on nobody. I’m on strict probation. I’m just trying to handle my business and feed my family. I don’t think those dudes are worthy of being talked about.
