Meek Mill disappointed a lot of fans on Friday night after the Philadelphia rapper posted a series of videos to his Instagram stories showing a homeless man asking for some change.
The video never actually shows Meek Mill, who reportedly has an estimated net worth of $3 million, handing the man money.
However, it does show the 29-year-old rapper telling the man to do push ups for $20.
“We ain’t going to give out no free money,” Meek Mill can be heard saying in the video, which was still on the rapper’s Instagram account early Saturday evening.
In disbelief, the man tells Meek Mill and his friends, “you’re not going to give me $20,” to which the rapper responds, “yes I am.”
The next video shows the man on the floor doing 20 push-ups as Meek Mill counts.
Instagram stories are only available for 24 hours, but celebrity gossip site The Shade Room uploaded the rapper’s full video to their own Instagram account.
Meek Mill flaunts his wealth on Instagram, sharing photos of his jewelry, his watches and his cars. All that makes his request for the homeless man seem all the more degrading.
Not only does he appear to be making fun of the man, he seems to exploit him by sharing with his more than 11 million followers a video of the man following his orders for money.
Fans of the rapper were understandably let down.
Meek Mill, there are more humane ways to be charitable. Do better next time.
