Rick Ross and Meek Mill recently joined forces for Too Good to Be True. The project debuted at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 with a reported 31,000 first-week units. Those numbers led to debates about the two Hip-Hop stars’ album sales.
Meek Mill addressed the opening-week total for his joint effort with Maybach Music Group boss Rick Ross. According to the Philadelphia-bred rapper, he and Ross make more money as owners of their musical content.
“Now we all own our music we getting the tech built to put people on our own musical subscriptions and we gone let direct to consumer see if rap [is] doing well,” Meek tweeted on November 12. He also added, “I never wanted to be on Billboards… a lot of them guys they marketed in front of us can’t make 100k today.”

Trolls Clown Meek For Believing Snoop Dogg’s Promo Prank
In addition, another commenter wrote, “[You’re] doing waaaay [too] much explaining and tryna justify them low album sales. It’s ok to admit the album not doing that great… the streets not buying or playing that s### like you’re claiming. It wasn’t a flop… just wasn’t as successful as you’re tryna spin it to be.”
Other accounts trolled Meek Mill for claiming he would stop smoking marijuana. Meek made that announcement after Snoop Dogg teased he would “give up smoke.” It turned out that weed aficionado Snoop was actually just promoting a smokeless fire pit.
“That boy seen Snoop was just capping and said f### it,” an Instagram commenter typed under Meek Mill’s post. Someone else sarcastically wrote, “I thought you said [you] were done smoking.” Yet another person stated, “Put the blunt down like [you] said.”
