Meek Mill Pushes Back On $80M Drake Beef Claim — “Not Because Of The Beef”

Meek Mill is clearing up a viral narrative about his past feud with Drake — and he’s making it clear he doesn’t want the moment to define his success.

The rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) after a report circulated claiming he made tens of millions following his highly publicized beef with Drake. According to the report, Meek previously said he earned around $80 million from rap since the feud, a statement that quickly sparked conversation online.

But Meek pushed back on how that narrative is being framed.

“Not because of the beef, I went to prison had the biggest movement and came home and made the best album of my life!” he wrote, shifting the focus away from the feud and onto his personal journey.

The original Drake-Meek clash dates back to 2015, when Meek accused Drake of using a ghostwriter — a moment that quickly escalated into one of the most talked-about rap battles of the decade.

Still, Meek’s latest comments suggest he views that chapter differently today. Instead of crediting the feud for his financial success, he pointed to his time in prison and the momentum that followed as the real turning point in his career.

While the beef remains a major moment in hip-hop history — and continues to resurface in conversations about both artists — Meek is making one thing clear: in his eyes, the growth, the music, and the movement matter more than the headlines.
