What is Meek Mill worth? Rapper gives street kids $20 bill to split, Internet says ‘never seen such stupidity’

The 33-year-old rapper recently took to his Instagram stories to share a video where we can see him pulling up in his car to a bunch of kids selling water on the street and handing them a $20 bill

There has been a number of occasions where we have seen celebrities generously donating money to random people on the streets and rapper Meek Mill was the most recent artiste to pull-off this humble deed. Usually, celebrities shell-out a good amount of money from their pockets to do so but we guess, Meek was in no mood to give a huge amount as he only spared $20 to a bunch of kids.

The twist in the tale is that he asked the group of around eight kids to split the money. The 33-year-old rapper most recently took to his Instagram stories to share a video where we can see him pulling up in his car to a group of kids on the street and handing them a $20 bill. However, the kids, who were selling water on the street, did not seem elated with the small amount as they asked him to shell-out more but Meek Mill did not adhere to their request.

This also caught the attention of netizens as they took to Twitter to speak about the same. While some made fun of the incident, others slammed the rapper for asking the kids to split $20. One user asserted, “Did that man really drive up to those kids and record himself telling them to split $20.....???????? Martin Luther Meek???? Meek Mandala???? The hood hero?????”

Another stated, “Ni**a Meek Mill, stopped in Atlanta saw some kids hustling waters, decided to pull out his camera and record himself handing 6-8 kids a $20 bill to split. I have never seen such stupidity.” One posted, “They did not appreciate it lmao, their faces said it all. You gave hustling kids $2.50 a piece after they have to go break the sh*t, while in a 400k car. Shouldve just passed by, it wasnt a good look bro.”

A user expressed, “These kids walking away with what? $3 after they split it? Lmao. Yeah, he should've just rode right past them. At the bare minimum, he could've kept this in his camera roll.” Another added, “$20, bro is rich, couldve given them at least a good 200.” One said, “Them children righteously could’ve robbed Meek. I would have no qualms.”

One individual posted, “If meek wasn’t gonna bless them then he could of just drove by .. your a millionaire the chances of them kids ever coming past a celebrity like that is once in a blue moon idgaf what nobody saying if u have the opportunity to help then help! a regular a** n**** could of gave $20.”

Looking at all the reactions, Meek took to his official Twitter account and replied to his own video posted by another page. Talking about the incident, he said, “They appreciated it they just hustling kids .....”
