Meek Mill tells YK Osiris to "go back to church" and "stop following the heathens."

For some reason, Meek Mill decided to chime into the YK Osiris/Sukihana controversy on Wednesday, and as expected, his comments didn’t necessarily sit with fans. As Osiris faced sexual assault accusations for forcing himself on Sukihana at The Crew League, Meek Mill leaped to the “Worth It” singer’s defense in what many felt was incredibly tone-deaf. “Don’t do this to him please he a good kid,” he wrote. “we don’t need our young bulls tore down for mistakes in this hyper sexual era…. I support suki.”

Fans immediately began piling onto Meek Mill, and rightfully so. His comments came in response to Sukihana expressing her fear, writing, “I am hurt and I am scared to stand up for myself.” Meanwhile, YK Osiris issued an apology, which also wasn’t well-received. “In an attempt to be playful, I misread the moment and violated Sukihana’s boundaries.” He explained that he “understands the importance of consent,” and felt embarrassed by the moment. “I take full responsibility and have made multiple attempts to apologize,” he added.

Meek Mill Responds To Backlash

Shortly after his initial tweet, Meek Mill issued another response to his fans where he criticized the supposed double standard. “Y’all drawing a big line between m*n and wom*n nowadays on social …..it’s getting bad in the black community! All this internet superficial shaming, judging gaslighting only hurt us people and it’s alot of people who need strength especially young black men,” he wrote.

Meek’s solution appeared to be having YK Osiris fight Sukihana’s brother. “he might gotta rumble suki brother anything but this same internet tear each other down stuff! Suki can do what she wants she feels violated… but let me mind my business,” he wrote shortly after doing exactly the opposite of minding his business. Still, he reiterated that he supports Sukihana. “And protect suki! Osiris you a dh! Go back to church stop following the heathens!” he added.
