Meek Mill is responding to social media criticism after shouting out “Free Tory Lanez” during a recent performance. As The Shade Room previously reported, Lanez is currently awaiting sentencing in the shooting trial of fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
The 36-year-old recently performed his 2016 single “Litty,” featuring Tory Lanez, during his set at Rolling Loud Portugal. Toward the end of the song, the rapper could be heard saying, “That was f*****g lit.”
He also continued by adding another sentiment.
“Free Tory Lanez, too, one time.”
Meek Mill’s sentiment was met with some cheer from the crowd. However, social media users in The Shade Room’s comment section did not seem to agree with his stance.
One Instagram user, @marco_____polo____, made a general statement.
“Y’all say free people knowing they done killed somebody 🤦🏾♂️”
Y’all know the phrase “everyone women knows another women who’s been SA. But most men claim they don’t know men doing the SA” This is an example they DO know, they just DGAF! 🙄 #ProtectBlackWomen
It’s obvious he don’t like women anyways. Look at how he treat them. I just wish these folks would come out the closet already & stop coming at/for us black women
“I’m so HAPPY Megan got justice 💆♀️”
“Free Tory Lanez like he’s in prison unjustly!! Did we not all witness the trial?? Didn’t some evidences make it down here to shade room?? He’s getting freed because he’s innocent or whaaat? Please think before talking, or just dont talk at all. Go and put out new music”
“We are entering into a dangerous era where people believe the court of “opinion” more than a court of LAW. This black woman was shot at 🤔 its getting weird”
“Idc what y’all say! Free Tory 🗣️! There’s no proof proven against him. Open that cell let that talented young man out of jail”
“Everybody ain’t gotta hate Tory!!! Ppl are allowed to have they own opinion”
Since the performance, Meek Mill has taken to Threads to share his response to the criticism.
“I say free young thug … I say free lucci … free melly I don’t even know why y’all start dealing with us if y’all gone try to smear us …. That’s why I stick to the trenches”
Additionally, the rapper reposted the Thread message to his Instagram Story with a brief caption.
“What is the draw line, I got n****s locked up for bodies the ain’t do… I don’t got a controlled voice”
Roomies, what are your thoughts on this?
