Meek Mill now has some speculations as to why his last album was "purposely" delayed.
Rapper Meek Mill definitely had his followers and fans invested in his grievances in a series of rants on his official Twitter account.
Mill's current label, Atlantic Records, houses rappers like him, Kodak Black, Cardi B, Roddy Rich, Cordae, and even super duo Silk Sonic.
On his series of tweets, He said he was "blackballed" by the label during the release of his last album "Expensive Pain" and accused them of "outsmarting young black kids taking advantage and calling it business."
Born Robert Rimheek Williams, Meek Mill claimed he was "blackballed" by Atlantic Records on the release of his latest album, "Expensive Pains".
So look I made Atlantic records 100’s of millions and let them rape me out out Roddy a artist they came to me about in jail … they still saying I can’t drop music until 9 months after my last album got blackballed just wrapped buildings and Nina art with talent …

Meek Mill also recalled that after introducing Roddy Rich to Atlantic Records, the label dropped Meek of Rich's management while he was in prison. He also claimed that this is the same thing that happened with him and Rick Ross years back.
Roddy my youngin still …. But that label seperated us instantly when the millions came in from him… same thing they tried to do with me and rozay … it takes a long time to catch up too because most of em tied in for the love of some money …artist scared to speak up

The 34-year old rapper continued to reveal that Atlantic Records have prevented him from embarking on a new project or releasing new music after he "made them 100's of millions".
They didn’t put nothing into expensive pain and then said I can’t drop another project for 9 months at the end of my contract after I made them 100’s of millions ….. how would can anybody survive that … most rappers can’t speak because they depend on these companies “ I don’t”

Because of the setbacks, Meek claimed that "most rappers can't speak" against these systems because "they depend on these companies ". But for Meek Mill, he confidently says that does not.

The tirades continue, but Meek calls on other artists this time, urging them to "speak out and tell the truth" while the artists are "winning not when you down". Meek even accused Atlantic of "outsmarting young black kids" while taking advantage of them and calling it "business".
If I didn’t have millions I’d prolly do something crazy …. They out smarting young black kids taking advantage and calling it business! Other artist speak up and tell the truth while you winning not when you down!

The "Sharing Locations" hitmaker was not the first artist who has criticized the label of blackballing.
Young Boy Never Broke Again shared an almost similar experience yesterday when Atlantic allegedly pulled out his recently dropped mixtape "Colors" on Apple's Music Chart.
YoungBoy Never Broke Again's "Colors" mixtape was released on January 21 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 list.
The project includes hidden diss recordings directed at the late Chicago rapper King Von and a verbal jab at NLE Choppa, among other targets.
Additionally, Meek said that he had to "fight for my life" to have his 2016 release 'Dreamchasers 4' classified as an album, despite referring to it as a mixtape before.
Also I had to fight for my life to get dc4 counted as a album because they said I “called it a mixtape” if y’all made 20 million off it what is it counted as?
