Meek Mill Says 45 Days of Promo Is All He Needs for the Garden or Barclays

The timing matters. Meek has spent the past few weeks going back and forth with DJ Akademiks, who has claimed that festivals won't book Meek as a headliner because of what he charges. Meek's answer was to name a venue and a timeline instead of arguing about rumors. Some fans rolled their eyes, but others pointed out that he's already done it. He headlined the Garden in 2021 for Expensive Pain, a three-hour night with Lil Baby, Lil Durk and a long list of guests.

So the question isn't whether Meek can draw a crowd in New York. It's whether he actually books the date and lets the tickets decide. Until then, we'll keep the music going. Listen live anytime at redcuprnb.com.

Fact check behind the post: Meek made the claim on X on October 15, and noted it would take 45 days of promotion. Akademiks alleged Meek asks around $300K for festivals like Rolling Loud and that no festival will make him a headliner. That fee is unconfirmed, which is why the post calls it a claim. The 2021 Madison Square Garden show was Meek's first headlining date there and ran three hours.
