Meek Mill is being called out on social media for his attempt to justify charging $250,000 for a guest verse. He had claimed that was his standard rate in a post on Twitter, on Tuesday afternoon. "Every time I do a verse I charge 250k and up if you got 150k on sight and I like the song we can swap it outtt!!!!" he wrote. Afterward, fans tried to rationalize how a song featuring Meek could remain financially profitable.
"If you spend $250,000 on a guest verse, you’d need to generate roughly 75 million streams just to break even on that expense — assuming you own 100 percent of the record. Add production and engineering costs and that break even line rise," one user argued in response to Meek.
