American rapper Meek Mill is eyeing another visit to Ghana for New Year celebrations, but his recent tweet has stirred mixed reactions. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Meek Mill wrote, “If I come to Ghana for New Year’s, can I get the army this time? I’m tryna experience the vibes outside!!!”
The rapper, who visited Ghana in 2022 and made headlines for filming a music video at Jubilee House, seemed eager to embrace the country’s vibrant festivities again. However, his request for an army escort sparked criticism from some Ghanaians, who saw it as unnecessary and disrespectful.
Critics accused him of undermining Ghana’s peaceful atmosphere, emphasizing that the country’s citizens and visitors enjoy their festivities without military escorts. Some Twitter users reminded Meek Mill of the backlash following his Jubilee House controversy, suggesting his comment reflects a lack of awareness about the nation’s hospitality.
On the flip side, a segment of his fans defended him, arguing that the tweet was light-hearted and misunderstood. They encouraged the rapper to visit Ghana again, promising him a warm welcome.
While Meek Mill’s enthusiasm for Ghanaian culture is evident, his comment reignites conversations about celebrity privilege and cultural sensitivity. As the New Year approaches, many are curious whether Meek Mill will follow through with his visit and how he’ll navigate the situation.
Whether escorted by an “army” or not, one thing is certain – his return will draw significant attention.
