Meek Mill is being honored for his work in criminal justice reform.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation, named in honor of the South African revolutionary and activist, has recognized the Philly rapper for his great work, including his partnership with JAY-Z, Michael Rubin, and others who launched REFORM Alliance in 2019.
The foundation gave him the prestigious Changemaker Humanitarian Award earlier this week, making him the first and only rapper to receive the honor.
Meek posted about the award on Instagram earlier this week and included a teaser for his new freestyle entitled, “Mandela.”
In the post which featured the glass trophy alongside a diamond-encrusted Dream Chasers chain, Meek wrote, “Blessings… I got the Nelson Mandela Humanitarian Award. Thank you.”
“Rip to the great Nelson Mandela, ‘I ain’t grow up playing ball I had a Smith & [Wesson] because where I’m from, it’s very hard to turn 27’ #survivors,” he continued.
