The Game Officially Ends Beef With Meek Mill: ‘I Never Wished Jail On You’

The beef between Meek Mill and The Game is no more. Thanks to a behind-the-scenes phone conversation and a direct message from the Compton rapper that seemed heartfelt.

The beef between Meek and Game began in 2016 when the singer Sean Kingston was robbed of his jewelry, and The Game thought Meek blamed him because Kingston was robbed moments after the Game warned Meek about LA robberies. He then referred to the Philly rapper as a rat on several occasion, dropped two diss tracks in “92 Bars” and “Pest Control,” then Meek answered with the song “Ooouuu.”

But according to Game, all is that is over now, and he wishes the “Championships” rapper the absolute best. Game also said he and Meek should stick together since they overcame so many challenges in their respective hometowns.

“Had beef wit a n—- that could’ve ended in bloodshed either way,” wrote Game. “We had differences but when it all boiled down, we were once friends in and out of music. As young African American men, we grew up in similar situations where a lifespan for us was 21 years of age.”

“I say all that to say, life is short,” he continued. “And the day after @meekmill got out of jail, he called me and we talked for an hour. Not about the beef but about new beginnings and what the future holds for us as seasoned hip-hop artists … I never wished jail on you, and I was genuinely happy when you got released.”

Meek hasn’t responded to The Game yet, but he did let a fan know that he’d work with the Compton native again. He said it during a Q&A titled #AskMeekAnything.

“Is there any chance you and @TheGame making music together again?” one of his fans asked.

“Yeah, why not,” Meek replied.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
