Meek Mill has declined Akademiks‘ generous offer to host his proposed podcast, claiming that he doesn’t need the controversial host’s money.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday (March 17), the Dreams & Nightmares rapper mocked Ak’s million-dollar offer, boasting that he and his friends have more money than anyone Akademiks does business with. Meek further clarified that financing was not the obstacle keeping him from his podcast dreams.
“I’m richer than everybody that deal with you lol,” he began. “Not like a finance podcast deal thing lol I hang around all billionaires and I’m caked up … you streaming for your chair getting drunk … I’m changing laws and stopping major hood beefs and trying to uplift the culture! The hat you wear I might own I just don’t be saying nothing.”

Meek’s claims came on the heels of his announcing a desire to enter the podcast game.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday (March 16), the Dreams & Nightmares rapper revealed that he has a lot to say, and can only say it on a podcast platform.
“I want a podcast deal I have a a lot to say on many different levels!” he said, in part. “If you have a podcast business moving slow I can reverse that! From – meek mill – I’ve always been my own media and I wanna join the culture of black media!
“I wanna partner with somebody already good in the business not just dive in! 2 episodes a month! Yeah just a podcast deal my boy…. I just wanna get in media now and rap to tell reforms stories about the system let others share their stories and address all propraganda [sic]… uplift the black culture … stop beefs publicly.
He added: “it’s gonna be called ‘culture currency’ Teach the level of business knowledge I know from the streets to being around extreme wealth! Like how you had the show on Spotify but fueling street beefs I want that type of opportunity!”
That prompted Akademiks, a longtime podcaster and rival, to make an offer to the Philadelphia rapper.
“I’ll offer you a Million dollars up front for you for 52 episodes,” he responded in a quote-tweet. “1 a week. We own video and audio, with a option to renew for a second year. Also we buss down ads 50% on any ads we bring in (Prizepicks, Fashionova etc). You can own the podcast, but we share the IP as long as u in the deal.”
