Meek Mill on why he wouldn’t let his homies drive his cars.
Meek Mill, born Robert Rihmeek Williams, who hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, appeared as a special guest on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast hosted by Gillie Da King and social media influencer Wallo267. On the show, he spoke about his album Expensive Pain, his stories growing up, and the challenges he faced breaking away from his homies to make a name for himself.
It’s no news that Meek Mill comes from humble beginnings. Growing up in the rough neighborhood of North Philly, he faced many challenges after the passing of his father and being raised single-handedly by his mother. He found solace in music and rap, eventually making a name for himself in the hip-hop industry.
However, on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, the rapper shared insights about his lifestyle, career, principles, and why he’s cautious about letting his homies drive his car.
According to him, they feel very entitled to his wealth and believe they have free passes to it, including driving his cars, while addressing him fake for putting up boundaries.
He shared that some of his cars are worth upwards of $400,000, and their maintenance costs—such as replacing a single tire—can run into thousands of dollars. Meek questioned the logic of letting someone who doesn’t have $40,000 in savings drive a car of such immense value.
He said:
“Meek can’t let you drive a car! Why would I let you drive my car that costs $400,000, and you don’t got $40,000? And why would you want to drive somebody’s car that costs $400,000 if you don’t got $40,000 to your name? I mean, you can’t get a flat fixed, you can’t get the rim fixed. All my brakes cost $5,000. You know, coming to the light, you know the fast cars, like the V12, and then vmmmmm! And then you get to the light and jam on the brakes, and I’m like, ‘Yo, bro, don’t be jamming on my brakes.’ Then you go to the hood — ‘Meek is telling me don’t jam on his brakes on his car.’ No, the brakes cost $7,000. You’re doing 80 up the block, then slowing down at the last minute.”
He continued, stating that his homies just wouldn’t understand—they aren’t in the same bracket anymore. He explained that the reason he dissociated himself from 90% of them was because they were entitled.
“Getting shot out here on this block, I got reform going on, helping people come home from jail. I got two kids. I’m making millions. I’m traveling. Why’s the hood telling me I’m fake for not being in the hood? Why should I hang? And I actually was staying in the hood too long. I’ve been driving Rolls-Royces through Philadelphia, one of the highest murder rates in America for the last 10 years. I’m tired of looking over my back, s**t.”
He continued:
“Gonna say the only—there’s only a few of us out here that know this s**t. Yeah, it’s a few of us motherf*** that know how this s**t goes. It’s a few motherf**** that get it if you know what I mean. You know, in the jungle, sometimes you gotta spoil your own meals. You gotta let motherf***ers know you cannot take from me. When you see my mom, it’s not a game. When you see my kids in the hood, it’s not a game. You might have to see me. Don’t do nothing the wrong way. Treat my family the same way you used to treat them when they were poor.
So, like, it’s still—like, with the hood, it’s always like an entitlement thing. Yeah, I lost 90% of the people I’ve been with because of entitlement.”
