I’m richer than everybody that deal with you lol. Not like a finance podcast deal thing lol I hang around all billionaires and I’m caked up … you streaming for your chair getting drunk … I’m changing laws and stopping major hood beefs and trying to uplift the culture! The hat you wear I might own I just don’t be saying nothing.Meek's stance followed his public declaration of interest in entering the podcasting arena. He took to Twitter the previous day (March 16) to express his desire to share his thoughts across various topics on a podcast platform. "I want a podcast deal I have a a lot to say on many different levels!" he expressed. "If you have a podcast business moving slow I can reverse that! From – meek mill – I’ve always been my own media and I wanna join the culture of black media!"”

Meek outlined his vision for the podcast, aiming to shed light on systemic issues, uplift the Black community, and reconcile public disputes. In response to Meek's podcast ambitions, Akademiks, a seasoned podcaster and Meek's long-standing rival, extended a lucrative offer.
