Meek Mill says he is looking for an investor to put some serious bankroll behind his projects.
The Philly rapper revealed he’s searching for $5 million to fund an ambitious trio of work: an album, a book, and a short film.
Taking to Twitter, Meek explained, “I need 5m in funding for book.. album and short film. These label deals not looking fair at all… they ruined the game basically … but I can reboot the whole thing! Why I can’t get the same attention as a tech investment in rap wthelly.”
Frustrated with traditional music deals, Meek continued the conversation by sharing a clip from “DeDe In The Morning,” which highlighted Black culture’s influence in America. He captioned it with another question: “Why as music artist that’s independent we not dealing with banks when everything surround us in music business lead us back to the banks anyway! We have total control let’s roll!!!!! Are we allowed to get funding past a record label in America? S*t seems pretty hard lol.”

Since cutting ties with Roc Nation this summer, Meek’s been vocal about reclaiming ownership of his work. But his business goals haven’t been the only thing in the spotlight. His public image took a hit earlier this year when a lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against Diddy included claims hinting at an alleged sexual relationship between Meek and the Bad Boy mogul. Meek has firmly denied these claims.
With an estimated net worth of $20 million, Meek is more than capable of self-funding his own projects if that investor doesn’t come through.
