Meek Mill took to Twitter to speak on the opioid epidemic in Philly, which is true for a lot of cities across the country.
He started out by tweeting, "Homicides in philly spiked in the last 5 years because opioids took the city by storm 'percocets and dope' in the last 5 years like crack in the 80’s ... and you have a bunch of people high making bad choices and doing whatever to provide for their addiction!
"Most of these murders aren’t drug related and about protecting a street corner it’s about people who are mentally destroyed from drugs or trauma! I know many people doing life in prison for trying to protect themselves and it was labeled as drug related!"
When one follower spoke about Meek "glorifying" drugs in his music, he responded by writing, "I rap about it because I’ve been caught up in it for 22 years of my life and it’s stuck in my mental not glorifying it."
