Meek Mill Addresses Claim He Was Held for Ransom by L.A. Gang for $50K

Meek Mill took to X to address claims made by recently incarcerated Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crip rapper Luce Cannon in a resurfaced clip.

After Cannon was swept up in the Eugene ‘Big U’ Henley Jr. RICO case, Akademiks TV posted a three-minute video of the rapper making the claim on DJ Akademiks’ podcast Off the Record, saying he and others ran up on Meek Mill over “talking real reckless on Twitter” during a club performance, took him outside, and made him call Rick Ross to pay $50,000 for his release.

Meek then posted a screenshot from a HipHopDX article and claimed that he never met Luce Cannon and doesn’t know who he is. “This guy must be using a story to confuse his indictment because I never seen him B4,” he tweeted. “I woulda put him to ‘gods test’ on the spot! I never even met buddy but I don’t ‘negotiate’ with fake thugs ask him what chain because all my chains some sh– lol watches all 300k up vibes.”

He then added that he’s respected out West after a fan said they hadn’t heard Cannon’s story up and until recently when responding to another claiming the only reason Meek addressed this at all is because Luce is currently locked up.

“It’s a real world,” he said. “Real LA n—as that respect the sh—t out me how I carry myself in an open arms wya to build my people up ion care where you from… that’s why you seen my around NIPSEY and others … men of respect and honor!”

Adding, “Me, Nipsey, YG, Mustard and few others made sure we didn’t follow the East Coast West Coast narrative! I changed my life by blessings …. but i always been down to meet up with ‘fake street bullies’ in abandon areas where it’s no civilians and take they heart!”

Big U and Luce Cannon are accused of racketeering, extortion, human trafficking, fraud and the murder of a 21-year-old aspiring rapper who signed to Big U’s Uneek Music label, among other charges.
