Meek Mill has commented on Shannon Sharpe’s firing from ESPN.
Sharpe will not return to the sports broadcasting giant after he settled a lawsuit with a former girlfriend who accused him of rape, allegations which he denied.
The Philadelphia rapper is among those to weigh in on Sharpe’s departure with him commenting: “Yall too old to be getting fired fr.”
Sharpe himself has yet to comment on ESPN or the lawsuit settlement.
Meek has also been teasing dropping some new music soon.
Responding to reports that he is the fifth most streamed rapper on YouTube, Meek wrote on social media: “And I’m about to drop a heavy load!!!!”
He also thanked fans for continuing to listen to him: “Shout out to everyone playing my music in their content! Everything aligning right! Make sure you use my new and old music. I own all the new but I still promo the old music because it laid the ground for me!”
The Philadelphia rapper has not released a solo album since 2021’s Expensive Pain.
Meek, who is never far from some controversy, again recently denied knowing anything about Diddy’s sex life.
Rumors have plagued the Philadelphia rapper ever since he was indirectly named in producer Lil Rod’s lawsuit as having sex with his friend and collaborator.
Meek has repeatedly denied the claims and in a new interview with Complex said: “I truly believe it is a group of people aiming to tear down rappers, or Black entertainers involved in this culture through media platforms. He sets up a hypothetical, trying to explain the threadbare, flimsy nature of ‘truth’ on the internet.
“There was never a way people could just put out one rumor, and say I raped a little girl … Now it’s in 15 publications that I raped a little girl. That’s defamation on any level, but it’s the way with social media and the internet.”
He went on to address Diddy more directly: “When I come around from Philadelphia, I always come around with three, four people. I’ve never been in these types of environments without my guys around. A lot of people, they said sex parties. I attended New Year’s parties. I never attended [Diddy’s] white parties.
“It’s kind of suspicious to me that none of those people from the Black community never spoke up and said those parties they went to wasn’t straight freak offs. I can just say, for me, I would never step in anywhere that I see anything that doesn’t align with my morals.”
