American rapper, Meek Mill, took to social media to seek suggestions from fans on which African artist from Nigeria or Ghana he should collaborate with for his upcoming album.
In a tweet posted on Tuesday, January 30, Meek Mill, known for his impressive rap skills, confidently mentioned that he could produce the entire album in just two weeks with the right producer.
“If I made an album with an African artist, who should it be??? Question to Nigeria Ghana? I rap well; I could do it in 2 weeks with a good producer??? Leave a comment, who?” tweeted Meek Mill.
While the rapper has not yet featured any Ghanaian or Nigerian artist on his tracks, he did reveal in a recent tweet that he charges $250,000 for a verse.
However, he expressed willingness to negotiate down to $150,000 in certain circumstances, especially if he likes the song.
“Every time I do a verse I charge 250k and up. If you got 150k on sight and I like the song, we can swap it outtt!!!!“ shared Meek Mill on social media.
Explaining the reasoning behind his pricing, Meek Mill emphasised that some artists need additional platforms for self-promotion.
With a massive fan base exceeding 50 million people and effective playlisting on streaming platforms, he believes he can significantly contribute to the promotion of fellow musicians.
Notably, Meek Mill has shown an affinity for Ghana, having visited the country multiple times for holidays and even shooting a music video at the Jubilee House, sparking various controversies.
In a promising development during his 2023 visit to Ghana, Meek Mill pledged to sign a Ghanaian artist onto his record label, Dream Chasers Records, during his subsequent visit to the country.
This announcement came during an interaction with fans on social media.
“Ima sign one next time I come! Remember this post!” affirmed the rapper, expressing his commitment to discovering and supporting talent from the vibrant Ghanaian music scene.
