Meek Mill's Album cover causing a Uproar!


Meek Mill's album cover artwork is causing a uproar since being placed on a side of a bus in California on Hollywood blvd. A angry father who usually supports Meek was outraged when seeing that the album cover was put up on display for all the world to see, especially children. Angrily stating that he was disgusted and asking black women if "this is what they want", the philly dad left many viewers offended, but also questioning if we as African Americans should be standing up for this negative type of exposure to our black women? Watch the full video below!


A closer look at the album cover artwork for "Expensive Pain"

The artwork which was created by a black woman Nina Chanel, even has people like Dr. Boyce Watkins a black man asking the question, if this should be on the side of our buses? To artist like Rapper Killer Mike, who's also an activist, defending the album cover, stating “It’s art. Absolutely!

"We as a society see naked humans in art in museums. We should also be cultured enough as adults & parents to have a convo about nudity & art with our children. I say this as a parent, rapper & a High Museum of ART Board member. Love & Respect Doc." Killer Mike stated on social media.
Meek also had the artwork advertised on a line of trains!

With many artists by his side, and supporting the album which went No.2 according to the Billboard Hip Hop charts. We must wonder if Meek feels anyway towards the backlash, because he has yet to respond! We agree that advertising is a big part of promoting any business or career, but did Meek go too far on this one? How do you feel about this situation and the video? Comment Below!!

Thank you for reading!
