Meek Mill has been spitting motivational rhymes for well over a decade, and to celebrate 2024 he’s dishing some more advice for those looking to change their circumstances in life.
The Dreamchasers CEO took to Twitter on Tuesday (January 2) with a New Year’s resolution for his millions of fans.
Meek wants kids to hit the books and utilize school and education as their way out instead of hustling in the streets to survive.
“Being gangsta will get you hurt put in jail or killed …… being smart will get you out of poverty and your family and friends living better,” he wrote. “It’s no comparison, being smart is the only solid way out the trenches… everything else is wide range life risk just to survive!”
Fans flooded Meek’s replies — some pleading with him to take his own advice when it comes to his at times violent lyrics.
“Remember this next time you write Meek. No more ‘I got a hundred shooters in ma block’ There’s a straight line between the hit records out here and the news headlines,” one person responded. “We all can do better.”

Meek is gearing up for a major 2024 after he claimed on IG last month he was “GETTING READY TO EAT UP” the new year.
The Philly rapper closed out 2023 with a huge legal victory when his REFORM Alliance helped pass a Senate bill to change Pennsylvania’s probation laws for the benefit of former inmates.
Senate Bill 838 will provide necessary reforms to Pennsylvania’s probation rules, making it easier for the formerly incarcerated to abide by them, and to hopefully prevent recidivism.
The cause hits home for Meek Mill as someone who has been caught up battling the legal system since his 2008 gun case. In 2017, he was sentenced to 2-4 years behind bars after being caught on a technical probation violation.

“I thought it’s either I’ma go to jail or I’ma take my son to school,” he said before getting teary-eyed during a press conference last month. “I don’t want to get emotional because it takes a lot. You don’t got to clap. I’m at a point in my life we all grew up in the streets and we try to be better but they label us felons and send us back to jail.
“I had to fight against that the whole time to gain my respect and be who I am today and I’m proud of that.
“People know I don’t really drop tears but I want to say this because there’s a lot of young men who follow me in the street and they don’t really know what I go through.”
