The Philly rapper was recently connecting with his fans using #AskMeek on X (formerly Twitter) but the app quickly turned on him when he asked follow-up questions of his own.
This weekend, Meek went viral for wondering how people in South Africa and Nigeria listen to his music.
Do a lot of people play my music in South Africa I remember having on big show their few years back … how do yall listen to our music in South Africa???? On what platform or in Nigeria?

“Do a lot of people play my music in South Africa I remember having on big show [there a] few years back … how do yall listen to our music in South Africa???? On what platform or in Nigeria?” he asked on Saturday morning.
Meek seemed to sincerely think this was a harmless, reasonable question. However, that didn’t make it come across any better. Almost immediately, people from several countries took a break from roasting each other to turn on him.

The continental clapback was relentless. Some responses gave Meek grace for poorly wording a question about different platforms overseas but thousands of others read the rapper for filth for seemingly assuming that don’t have access to technology, like Spotify and Apple Music.

The post went viral with more than 17 million views and 10,000 replies from a united front of FAFO across countries. Meek’s name trended on X all weekend with jokes about stereotypes like using elephants, village elders, and ancestors just to play his music.
And you are asking this on X, how do you expect South Africans to read your Tweet if they they don’t have apps to listen to your music ?
