Meek Mill thinks “Squid Game” is like “Hood Poverty”.
Squid Game, Netflix’s latest South Korean Drama series took the world by storm as it became one of Netflix’s most-watched programs in several regional markets. The popular series centers on a contest where 456 players, who are deeply in debt, play a game with deadly consequences for a chance to win billions. The stars like Lee Jung-Jae, Park Hae-soo, Jung Ho-Yeon, and more gained millions of fans worldwide after the series was released last month.
It looks like rapper Meek Mill also took some time to watch the series, and gives his take on it while comparing it with hood poverty. “Squid games pay attention how fast people switch and kill eachother to survive …now think about the “hood” poverty …it’s the exact same thing …if you just help them with work/money they won’t be that way “just a common sense message,” he wrote on his twitter.

While some fans agreed with the Philadelphia rapper’s statement, some gave their own take on it. “It takes more than work/money. Sorry @MeekMill, the hood proverty excuse needs to stop being the “go to.” reason we “understand” & “overlook” all this senseless killing,” wrote one of the users. “People don’t even put shit into perspective Fr ..they just judge mfs for what they do and think folks in poverty just resorting to crime ect cause they want to when it’s literally you trying to survive,” wrote another.

When you’re poor you’ll promise that when you’re rich you’re gonna help the poor but later when you get rich the geng will tell you to let the poor find his own way and you’ll be afraid of getting poor again then you forget your promises you made earlier

It just baffles me how in every generation blacks in general and people living in the ghettos are not helped and the cycle of poverty grows into a curse for generations

Exactly!!!!!!!!! The hood is the same thing on surviving just trying to make it the next day to eat, somewhere to sleep. Keep the lights on. I feel like most murders etc from the hood is because they feel deprived. Imagine if suburban money flooded through the whole hood 🔥

Meek Mill recently dropped his fifth studio album “Expensive Pain“, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. Mill looks back to a period when he was hustling and attempting to make it as a rich musician who could support for himself and his family in the accompanying music video for the title track. “It’s easy to pull the trigger, but it ain’t easy to pull your mom out the ‘hood. That’s a real man’s job,” he says in a voice-over recording.
