AMERICAN rapper Meek Mill dropped his fifth album Expensive Pain on October 1, 2021.
The Philly rapper is known for his chart-topping albums and for championing criminal justice reform in the United States.
What is Meek Mill‘s net worth?
Meek Mill, whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, is an accomplished rapper with an estimated net worth of $20 million.
In 2019, Forbes ranked Meek Mill No. 15 on their top 20 list of highest-paid hip-hop acts, but Meek argued the numbers were incorrect.
“The Forbes got our accounts f***ed up lol,” Mill tweeted in September 2019 after the report claimed he earned $21 million in pre-tax earnings that year.
He wasn’t alone in his accusations as Cardi B also spoke up on Twitter.
She said, “Where do Forbes be getting they numbers from cause they way off.”
What has Meek Mill said about his upbringing?
Mill comes from humble beginnings living with his mom and older sister in South Philadephia, Pennsylvania.
His dad was killed during an attempted robbery when he was just five years old, and his mom worked odd jobs to care for him and his sister, he said in a 2015 op-ed for Time.
“We had nothing growing up,” he said. “So, my mom worked any job she could find to provide for me and my sister. I love her so much for that.”
His mother has been his biggest advocate and showed that in her support of her son when he was arrested in 2017.

The arrest sparked outrage as Mill was sentenced to two to four years after failing a drug test, failing to comply with a court order restricting his travel, and other unrelated arrests.
The judge said the infractions violated the terms of his probation.
However, in April 2018, he was granted bail after serving five months in prison.
The 12-year case was dropped one year later and Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Meek “was unfairly treated in a case that exemplifies the destruction caused by excessive supervision, instances of corruption, and unfair processes in our criminal courts.”
When did Meek Mill date Nicki Minaj?
Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj confirmed their relationship in early 2015.
The hip-hop power couple displayed their affection on social media and he opened for Minaj on her world tour in 2015.
Although they shared several magazine spreads during their relationship, they parted ways in 2017.
