Poundside Pop Claims Meek Mill Only Offered Him $10K For Record Deal

Meek Mill Reportedly Only Offered Poundside Pop $10K For Record Deal

Meek Mill was supposedly banned from North Philadelphia after he called for peace in the city. Meek tweeted that he would be signing Philadelphia-based rappers who stop beefing and start focusing on their music. But, it wasn’t met with warm hands.

Local Philly rapper Poundside Pop, and his homies placed a “ban” on Meek Mill from entering North Philadelphia. “You not from North, bro. You’re banned,” an affiliate of Pop said on a livestream at the time.

In a recent interview with VladTV, Poundside Pop reflected on an actual encounter with Meek Mill where they had discussed a deal with Dream Chasers. However, it sounds like Meek Mill was trying to lowball the rapper. Pop explained that he and Meek formed a relationship after “O.S.S.”

“You know, you gotta come correct when you trying to sign somebody,” he said. “That ain’t work out right, basically,” he continued.

“I’m stayin’ out in L.A., stayin’ out the way. I get with Meek because he out in LA. So we runnin’ around a little bit. So then they like, ‘I’m trying to sign you,’ basically,” he recounts. And while he was initially down, Meek wasn’t offering a substantial amount of money.

“When the deal come, it’s for $10,000. A $10,000 deal, I’m like, ‘What the fuck?’ Fuck I’m supposed to do with this? I’m out in L.A.,” he said. “The cost of livin’ is expensive out here. So basically, I told him, ‘this ain’t enough. I’m fuckin’ with you but I ain’t feelin’ this jawn.’ He sent another one back for $20,000. I said, ‘Nah, I can’t do nothing with $20K, either. After taxes, it’s damn near $10,000.'”

Pop added, “I can’t take care of my folks with that. I can’t even take care of myself with that.”
