Going Bad
This time, he has revealed that despite his collaboration with Drake for “Going Bad” being a hit single, he has no idea how much he actually made from the song’s success.
“I asked Drake to do that song three days before my album came out,” Meek recalled. “I think he did [it] for free for me. We cooked it up… How tf do I not know how much I made off a song that made that much… they gave me a plaque. Big mental trickery!”

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the “Dangerous” emcee is worth an estimated $20 million.

Money Over Accolades
Additionally, Meek isn’t too keen on receiving plaques for his artistry moving forward.
“Don’t give me a plaque. Give me the financial paper of how much the song I recorded for 20k made 20 million…not an award,” he shared on the platform. “I’m from the trenches. I don’t want that shit. I want an estate. I want my whole family tree to beat the ghetto.”
