Meek Mill Says Voters Were “Brainwashed” During U.S. Election; Here’s Why

Following the election of Donald J. Trump as the President of the United States of America, there have been varied reactions from all over the world.

Renowned musician, Meek Mill, neither applauded the electoral process nor condemned it, but instead, took to X, a social media platform and voiced happiness over the fact that the election is over. Meek Mill had been vocal throughout the entire election season, and even dropped a song on November 3, 2024, titled “Who You Voting For”.

Reports say the “who” was not of importance to him, as he’s just happy that the U.S. public is no longer, in his estimation “brainwashed.”

Meek Mill was clearly giddy on November 5, when he tweeted “I’m glad the election over, the brainwash was turned up on max!.”

He also reposted a tweet in which a photo of Kamala Harris was juxtaposed with a photo of a Simpsons episode in which a female president was depicted. The tweet claimed that this is the first time the show failed to predict a political event accurately, and it appears as though the rapper agreed. A few hours after Meek Mill criticized voters for their “brainwash” antics, he tweeted a reference to the 1999 film The Matrix. “They about to break the matrix lol,” he wrote, without specifying who “they” are supposed to be.

Meek Mill’s political allegiance has been difficult to track. The rapper has said positive things about both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris over the course of the last year. He praised Donald Trump for somehow being able to win the election after two assassination attempts and several criminal charges. “Who is this guy trump fr,” he tweeted. “I know some wild guys but wtf lol just my thoughts!” Meek Mill also stated he would be interested in discussing policy with Kamala Harris, given her past as a prosecutor. “I would ask her three questions about black and brown men going to prison,” he asserted.

Despite claiming that he did not intend to endorse either candidate, Meek Mill seemingly endorsed Harris the day before the election. He did so on the aforementioned song, “WHO YOU VOTING FOR?.” He noted that he had friends who were Trump supporters, but couldn’t abide by the “venomous ways” in which he moved. “And I ain’t vote for Cam-a-la, I’m a probably vote Kamala,” he spit.

“Somebody call her.” Meek is somebody that is prone to changing his mind, or making confusing public remarks.
