Lil Meech is still a fairly new face to the rap and acting worlds. The son of Black Mafia Family member Demetrius Flenory Sr. (Big Meech), Lil Meech broke out in 50 Cent's Black Mafia Family dramatization, BMF. In that, Lil Meech portrays his father, whom he also self-released his first single in honor of. Black Mafia Family was a drug smuggling operation that would later launch a promotion agency and record label as a front. Lil Meech's father was arrested in 2005 and eventually jailed on a 30-year sentence. He is eligible for parole in 2028.
Since breakout in BMF, Lil Meech has earned a guest spot on Euphoria as well as a small role in the Machine Gun Kelly film Taurus. Furthermore, he has received praise for his small body of work. BMF currently holds an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, Taurus holds a 62% rating. However, Meech is now going viral for demanding someone respect his personal space.
Lil Meech Tells Fan "Don't Touch Me"
In the brief video, which has been uploaded across most social media networks, Lil Meech is seen at an event. An offscreen woman can be heard asking to see Meech's drip and repeatedly tapping the actor on the arm. Eventually, Meech turns around and can be heard saying "Don't touch me". Meech then turns his back to the woman and ignores her. The camera then pans over to the woman, who gestures to Meech's large BMF necklace and makes a comment about just wanting to see his drip. That is the extent of the footage that has currently been released, but it is more than enough to send the internet wild.
Response to the video has been mixed. Meech's defenders argue that he has every right to personal space and the woman was out of line. However, there is a vocal set of detractors accusing Meech of acting like his father. Despite these, detractors, most people are either defending Meech or expressing confusion over why people are making such a big deal over the video. Regardless, people are talking about Lil Meech, and not because of his acting.
