Meek Mill went on a rant today on his Twitter, highlighting his label’s ill-treatment and exploitation of him. He claims that he hasn’t received payment for any records he’s put out recently. He also threatened to expose the details concerning his record deal with the establishment.
“I haven’t get paid from music and I don’t know how much money labels make off me!!!!! I need lawyers asap!!!” he tweeted, though the post has since been deleted.

Meek Mill’s Label
Mr. Mill is currently signed to Dream Chasers Records which is a joint venture with Jay-Z’s label, Roc Nation. He is also on contract with the Maybach Music Group under Rick Ross. Rumors of beef between the two began circulating in May, earlier this year after Mr. Mill denied Rick Ross entry to his birthday party.
Album Release
The news comes after the Philly rapper recently released his latest project, “Expensive Pain” which is his fifth studio album. He released it on the first of October through Atlantic Records and Maybach Music Group. The album features appearances from prominent music acts such as Brent Faiyaz, Lil Uzi Vert, Giggs, and Kehlani. It sold 95,000 units in its first week and debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200.
