Meek Mill has lashed out against the traditional label system, accusing them of trying to sabotage his career following his decision to release music independently.
In a series of social media posts, the Meek Mill artist alleged that his move outside the major-label structure has been met with resistance that has affected his visibility and musical performance.
“When I went independent they tried to kill my name,” Meek wrote.
He said he reviewed streaming data tied to recent releases and noticed a significant decline.
“I did a report of my streaming like when Cybertruck and 5AM in Philly dropped … everything dropped 60%,” he wrote.
Meek also claimed he had heard that a label may be discouraging industry partners from supporting him.
“I’m hearing a label telling people not to play my music or book me because I went Indy???? This better not be true!”
The rapper did not identify a specific company or provide evidence of coordinated interference.
“They let these companies put campaigns on me over money while I got reform uplifting my people,” he wrote. “I did that because it was real … it kinda killed my spirit.”
Despite those concerns, Meek said his connection with fans remains strong, citing sold-out live events in several cities.
“Think about it I didn’t have my own show in nyc in years and I sold out the Barclays,” he wrote, referencing Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
He also mentioned “Meek and Friends sold out the Garden,” referring to Madison Square Garden.
