In a baffling turn of events, Meek Mill has found himself at the center of yet another social media storm after suggesting that TikTok should be sold to him. As the popular Chinese app faces potential bans in the United States, the rapper took to Twitter to make his unsolicited offer, leaving fans and critics alike in stitches.
On Monday night, Meek tweeted, “Sell TikTok to me,” without providing any context or plan for what he would do with the platform. Following up with another tweet, he expressed concern about users migrating to other apps if TikTok were to be cut off, but his comments quickly became fodder for ridicule. One user sarcastically responded, “Meek Mill pls im not in the mood rn,” and soon, “MeekTok” became the running joke, highlighting the absurdity of his proposal.
Despite having garnered mentorship from industry heavyweights like Michael Rubin and JAY-Z, Meek’s latest social media misstep raises questions about his grasp on business matters. In past interviews, he has spoken highly of the knowledge he gained from JAY-Z’s entrepreneurial success, stating, “He actually built something. I watched that, and I studied that.” But his recent tweets seem to reflect a disconnect between his aspirations and reality.
This is not the first time Meek has found himself in hot water on social media. Recently, he faced backlash for comments related to the L.A. wildfires, where fans accused him of trying to make the tragedy about himself. His attempts to connect with people through personal anecdotes fell flat, leading to further criticism.
As Meek Mill continues to navigate the tumultuous waters of public perception, his bizarre TikTok tweet has only added to the growing list of eyebrow-raising moments that have made him a target for online mockery. With his music career on the line, the question remains: can Meek regain his footing, or will he remain a punchline in the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop? The world is watching, and the jokes are rolling in—will he have the last laugh, or will this be yet another misstep in his ongoing journey?
