Following recent allegations, Meek Mill has refuted claims that a Los Angeles Crips faction extorted him for $50,000. The controversy emerged following a resurfaced interview featuring Luce Cannon, a member of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips, who asserted that he and his associates held the Philadelphia rapper hostage in a nightclub until the ransom was paid by Meek’s label head, Rick Ross.
Cannon’s assertions gained traction online after his appearance on Off the Record, a podcast hosted by Akademiks. He described an encounter where Meek Mill was allegedly confronted due to his provocative remarks on social media, claiming, “We needed that bag.” According to Cannon, the gang members confronted Meek upon his arrival at the club, asserting that they compelled him to contact Rick Ross for the ransom.

In response to these serious accusations, Meek took to Twitter on March 25 to refute Cannon’s narrative. He stated, “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’.” He further dismissed the notion of any financial transaction or threat, emphasizing his commitment to his values and community.
Meek continued, asserting his respect within the industry: “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.” He also cited his relationships with rap legends such as Nipsey Hussle, presenting his approach as surpassing the traditional East Coast-West Coast rivalry. In his tweets, Meek indicated that he remains open to confronting those who falsely project strength, stating, “I always been down to meet up with ‘fake street bullies’ in abandoned areas where it’s no civilians and take their heart!”
