Did Megan Thee Stallion send a shot at Meek Mill on Twitter? That’s what a lot of people are saying after Mill said he was tired of seeing women twerk.

“Twerking is like a guy with big stacks of money hanging out his pocket so everybody can see lol I tired of seeing all that s–t lol Y’all burnt twerking out 😂 😂 😂,” he tweeted on Thursday, Feb. 27.

Megan’s tweet came later that day and she wrote, “I hate a ‘pick me’ ass n—a sick of these fake woke ass men.”

She then followed that message up and tweeted, “I’m using ‘Pick me’ as when you just saying s–t that you believe will get you a pat on the back/acceptance from other people.”

Megan, who saw mainstream success after she released her 2019 album “Fever,” is heavily known for her twerking. She does it on stage, on social media, and one could say the dance move is part of her overall brand.

So that’s presumably why many believe Megan’s tweet was aimed squarely at Mill, which they stated on Twitter.

In the comments, some seemed to like that Megan might’ve dissed Mill, and others said she should’ve said who the message is for.

“Somebody feelings just got hurt,” someone tweeted about Megan.

“Stop sneak dissing meek,” wrote someone else.

“PERIODT CALL EM OUT!” a third person weighed in.

“Shots fired at Meek Mandela,” a fourth person wrote.

Meanwhile, on Mill’s page, there was at least one woman who agreed with him that the whole twerking thing has run its course.

“Wow, i recently just said this,” that person wrote. “I feel like most females now in the industry is built on it but i ain’t gon lie i got some videos but they old. Lmao.”

But there were others who told Meek that he shouldn’t be commenting on what women do, while others applauded him for his message.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
