Meek Mill remarked that his hometown of Philadelphia is a “terrible place for Black people to live” in a post on Twitter, on Monday, while reacting to the death of local rapper Phat Geez. Geez was shot and killed on Sunday night on the 1200 block of N. Taney Street. Police have yet to identify a suspect in the case.
“Rip phat geez…..Philly is a terrible place for black people to live… you see too much death!!!! Smh,” Meek wrote. On his Instagram Story, he added: “If Phat really got killed in the holy month of Ramadan while fasting…. I think it’s time we fully break the streets up in Philly! A lot of dummies with guns!”
In another post, he shared the music video to the late rapper’s song, “No Gunzone.” He wrote: “Phat Geez – No Gunzone (Official Video) via @YouTube I never heard this til your passing … just give a listen to how hurt and torn about trying to survive Philly the streets these young black men are! Listen to the words. Just listen to the words of when you know you’re gonna go to jail if you carry a gun and the reality of how easy it is to lose your whole life for no reason to murder!” In more posts, he brought up PnB Rock, another Philadelphia rapper who died in 2022 at the hands of gun violence. While he was killed in Los Angeles, Meek related it back to his reputation in Philly.
