Meek Mill Criticizes Media Coverage of CEO's Murder

Meek Mill has voiced his frustration over the media's focus on the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, expressing concern that the deaths of numerous young people in Philadelphia receive little attention. In a series of posts on X, he highlighted the stark contrast between the coverage of Thompson's death and the ongoing gun violence in his community, stating, '100 kids get murdered in my hood the press stuck on one CEO.' He vowed to help remove illegal firearms from Philadelphia, declaring his intent to collect 1,000 guns to clean up the streets. While acknowledging Thompson's life mattered too, Meek criticized the systemic neglect of violence in poorer neighborhoods. He also shared personal experiences of harassment from authorities while trying to obtain a gun license for self-defense, questioning whether racism played a role in the scrutiny he faces. Meek's commentary sheds light on the broader issues of gun violence and media representation in America, particularly in marginalized communities.
