Meek Mill Advises Fans To Stop “Speaking On The Dead”

Meek Mill wants people to stop speaking on the dead and took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday night to explain his thinking. “If you talk about your own dead ancestors, you curse your own soul!” he wrote. “Stop that speaking on the dead ….. I haven’t seen it work out yet!!!! It’s spiritual fasho!” The opinion has been getting mixed responses from fans on social media.

“I have to check you real quick Respect the Ancestors you shouldn’t be talking either if you believe talking about the Ancestors is wrong I honour mine daily talk about mine frequently,” one follower replied. Another added: “But they got my back!! When I pray to them. Nothing wrong with that!!.” Others claimed he was referring to the late Philadelphia rapper, YBC Dul. One wrote: “MEEK MILL STFU YOU WAS NEVER SPEAKING ON DUL BEFORE SO DONT SAY SH*T NOW.” Dul was shot and killed earlier in the day at just 25 years old.
