“The allegations hit”: Internet reacts to Meek Mill expressing interest to move to Ghana after Diddy controversy

American rapper Meek Mill recently tweeted that he wants Ghanaian citizenship after his sexuality became a talking point in February. On February 26, 2024, Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones filed a lawsuit against Diddy, claiming he s*xually assaulted him. In the lawsuit, Jones also detailed several other accusations, including an incident where Diddy and an unnamed "rapper 5" allegedly engaged in s*xual intercourse, as per NBC News.

The lawsuit did not identify the person but said he was from Philadelphia and was previously Nicki Minaj's boyfriend. Netizens soon pointed to Meek Mill, and he reportedly responded by posting several tweets indirectly refuting the claims, as per Complex. On March 4, 2024, he tweeted,

"I wanna get citizenship in Ghana!!!! America made to tear black men down if you don’t follow orders! Africa don’t got this sh*t I’m getting dual citizenship if they let me!"

Social media users were quick to mock the rapper for trying to flee the country after being trolled. One netizen likened Meek to rapper Nas's character Sincere in the 1998 thriller Belly, who runs to New York after leaving a life of crime.

Meek Mill was pulled into the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs controversy after netizens claimed he was mentioned in the lawsuit filed against the mogul. Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a lawsuit against Diddy on February 26 at the Federal District Court in Manhattan.
