When Meek Mill shouted out the soldiers who fight for the safety of the United States on a daily basis, he did so with good intentions in mind.
With all the chatter about a potential World War III and the troubling reports concerning the USA and Iran, the ‘Going Bad’ rapper just wanted to send some positivity to the men and women defending us across borders.
“One time for the soldiers that really gotta go to war and put ya life on the line …. we from the trenches so we know the feeling of having ya life on the line 24/7 not knowing if you gone make it home!” Meek tweeted.

But DJ Akademiks doesn’t agree that being at war is like being “in the trenches.”
Akademiks said Meek’s statement is “most self-indulgent, narcissistic tweet you could probably have about this situation because, while we’re trying to give some light to the men and women who serve in our armed forces, Meek Mill had to say that being in the streets is like being at war.” Along with that, he alludes to Meek being a hypocrite for tweeting the message but rapping about the streets and crime in his music.
