Despite courting public outrage after filming portions of a music video at the seat of government, Meek Mill, who has since apologized to Ghanaians for his actions, has not hesitated to express his affection for Ghana.
On March 4, 2024, the American rapper tweeted that he had settled on Ghana due to America’s oppressiveness of the growth of Blacks
‘I wanna get citizenship in Ghana!! America made to tear black men down if you don’t follow orders” He said.
Three days later, the famous rapper has clarified that he would not abandon his American citizenship but add the Ghanaian one.
