Meek Mill has sparked conversation online after expressing his desire to obtain Ghanaian citizenship.
In a recent post on social media platform X, Mill stated, “I wanna get citizenship in Ghana!!!! America made to tear black men down if you don’t follow orders!”
This announcement follows recent legal troubles for Meek Mill and coincides with the passing of new anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in Ghana. While Mill has not explicitly mentioned the law in his comments, many fans are speculating a connection.
Mill’s frustration with the American justice system is well-documented, with the rapper having faced wrongful incarceration earlier in his career. However, his tweet further stated, “Africa don’t got this shit I’m getting dual citizenship if they let me!” This has led some to believe his desire for Ghanaian citizenship extends beyond solely criticizing the U.S.
It’s important to note that Mill has expressed a growing connection to Ghana in recent months. He performed at the Afro Nation festival in December 2022 and even met with Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Whether Mill’s desire for citizenship stems from a genuine appreciation for Ghana, frustration with the U.S., or a combination of factors remains unclear. Regardless, his comments have ignited conversation about complex social and political issues, prompting fans and critics to engage in a wider discussion.
