Meek Mill says Rick Ross "kept it solid" with his contract.

Meek Mill is without a doubt Rick Ross’ biggest export out of the MMG camp. Even though singles like "What's Free," alongside Jay-Z, “I’ma Boss” and “Believe It” stand as remarkable examples of their work together, it seemed as though their relationship became strained. The specifics surrounding Meek Mill and Rick Ross’ falling out didn’t come to light, though things have since resolved between the two. Meek praised Ross on Twitter over the weekend for keeping “solid.” “Rozay kept it solid wit my contract when I came to him with the business,” he announced, adding, “MMG X DC.”

Not only did Meek Mill and Rick Ross find a resolution for their issues, but they also began working on new music. Even though we haven’t gotten any confirmation of another MMG compilation, Meek Mill and Rozay were recently spotted in the studio together where they previewed new music. It’s unclear when we could expect that to drop but Meek previously indicated that he has a mixtape for each quarter of 2023 so perhaps, we might see the collab on his next mixtape.

Meek Mill & Rick Ross Make Peace

Though many wondered if Rick Ross and Meek Mill remained friends, the Flamerz 5 rapper confirmed that he still has love for the MMG boss during the Dreams & Nightmares 10-year reunion concert. Ross came out as a surprise guest to roaring applause from audience members who didn’t expect to see him and Meek on the same stage. However, the two artists made it clear that it was all love between them as they breezed through their collaborative hit records.

The fact that they finally came together arrived after a string of rumors surrounding the tension between them. First, rumors emerged that Meek Mill turned Rick Ross away from his section at a club a few years back. However, when Meek tweeted up a storm surrounding his issues with Atlantic Records, many felt as though some of the criticism was directed towards. Eventually, Meek cleared the air, claiming that Atlantic took Roddy Ricch from him, similar to how they tried to separate him and Rick Ross. “But that label seperated us instantly when the millions came in from him… same thing they tried to do with me and rozay,” he said.
