‘Priceless Moments’: Meek Mill Celebrates His Grandmother’s House with Elevator Inside, One year After it Was Vandalized

Through his various speeches and starting a criminal justice reform organization with Jay-Z, Van Jones and others called the Reform Alliance, Meek Mill has been praised for giving back.

And now he’s getting a lot of credit for giving back to his grandmother after he bought her a house with its own elevator inside.

The rapper shared news of the gift Friday, Nov. 29, on Instagram, and he did it next to a photo that showed himself, his cousin Omelly and another gentleman. The post comes a year after the rapper said a “white man” vandalized his grandmother’s house with a racist message.

“OTF ….. that sh– my grandmom throwing up,” he wrote in the caption, describing his grandmother’s hand gesture. “Got her a new crib built from the floor up wit a elevator in it not a gang sign lol.”

The responses from Mill’s followers came immediately afterward, and they were mixed with serious messages along with comments that were more playful.

“Priceless moments blessings on blessings πŸ‘‘πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ’ͺπŸΎπŸ’―πŸ’―πŸ€žπŸ½,” one person wrote.

“Hella dope bro πŸ’―,” wrote another.

“SHE’S A BEAUTIFUL LADY!! AND SHE DESERVES THAT BEAUTIFUL HOUSE!!,” a third person commented.

And jokingly, one woman wrote, “Grandma I’m Robert wife nice to meet you maπŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹,” using the rapper’s real name.

Meanwhile, Mill released his first hat design since he became the co-owner of the athletic headwear company Lids earlier this year. And part of the proceeds will go to the Reform Alliance and his efforts in criminal justice reform.

“Having my own line with Lids is special, but I’m especially proud that proceeds from this hat will be used to help fix the broken criminal justice system,” he said in a press release. “I’m grateful that our team at Lids was committed to making a hat that’s stylish, but will go toward a greater cause.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
