Meek Mill has been involved in a series of public exchanges with DJ Akademiks following the not-guilty verdict in Lil Durk's murder-for-hire trial, with Mill defending Durk and criticizing the prosecution's case and testimony from OTF member OTF Jam. He has also been active musically, releasing the song 'Philly Heathens' and interpolating 'Am I Wrong' by Nico & Vinz, while discussing the role of AI in his personal development. Meanwhile, the rapper's comments have drawn online backlash, particularly regarding his stance on the trial and the recent death of fellow artist BloodHound Q50 in Chicago.
