Nigerian singer and two-time Grammy winner Tems is set to take the stage at the 2025 Roots Picnic, joining an impressive lineup that includes neo-soul legend D’Angelo, rock icon Lenny Kravitz, rap stars Meek Mill, Latto, and Glorilla, as well as Miguel, Kaytranada, and British-Sudanese artist Elmiene.

Hosted by the legendary American hip-hop band, The Roots, the festival will return to Philadelphia’s Fairmont Park for its 17th edition, taking place from May 31 to June 1.

This year’s festival will also commemorate the 30th anniversary of The Roots’ groundbreaking sophomore album.

American rapper Robert Rihmeek Williams, aka Meek Mill, is considering relocating to Africa, specifically Ghana.

In a series of postings on his X account, Nicki Minaj’s estranged lover bemoaned that he no longer feels safe in America due to rising crime and insecurity.

He announced his desire to obtain Ghanaian citizenship, claiming that America was designed to “tear down black men if they don’t follow orders.”

He wrote, “Make sure you strap up in America, it’s extremely dangerous on the streets! They have no control over illegal immigrants everywhere… automatic guns flooded the inner cities… fettynal poison in most drugs … opioids melting the brains of humans .. and algorithms mind control.

“I wanna get citizenship in Ghana!!!! America is made to tear black men down if you don’t follow orders!

“Africa don’t got this shit I’m getting dual citizenship if they let me!”

Remember that Meek Mill’s phone was taken at a concert in Ghana in 2022.

The Ghanaian police later retrieved the phone and returned it to the musician.

Recall that Meek Mill recently revealed the enormous money he makes from each song he records. On Friday, he disclosed on Instagram that he earns a cool $1 million every track, which equates to an amazing $62,500 per sentence.

Meek Mill addressed the recent controversy over assertions that rap music is on the decline in an Instagram post. He confidently stated, “I’m getting a million per song… so that’s $62,500 every bar I speak…” They claim this rap sh*t dying must be on Billboard because it isn’t for Meek!”

This revelation comes amid continuous discussions about the state of the rap genre, with some celebrities claiming that rap is losing popularity.

In response to Meek Mill’s controversy, entertainment expert Ruthy is adamant that Akufo Addo is innocent of any wrongdoing with the exception of her daughter Gyankroma, the current CEO of Creative Arts Agency.

Certain scenes in the song video that were filmed at the Jubilee House reportedly upset Ghanaians. The majority of them used social media to vent their frustration.

Famous American rapper Meek Mill announced the upcoming release of a new song in a late-night Instagram post on January 8, 2023.

It appears that some of the aforementioned film was shot in and around the Jubilee House during his stay.

Meek Mill may be seen performing his raps around the presidency, including on the facade, in the main corridors, in the main conference room (at one point sitting behind the president’s podium), and subsequently in a sitting area.

Social media users were furious with the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, his daughter, and the CEO of the Creative Arts Agency, Gyankroma, for letting the unthinkable occur at the Jubilee House.

They have questioned the government’s decision to permit the musician to film a music video at Flagstaff House when even Ghanaians have difficulty getting to the same location.

Keep in mind that in Ghana, Gyankroma was seen hanging out with American rapper Meek Mill. Ruthy believes that because the president’s daughter made the rapper’s move to parliament possible, she should be held accountable for the mess.

Ghanaians criticised an American rapper, Meek Mill earlier yesterday when he shared a music video from the Jubilee House with his friends on social media.

Meek Mill has apologised to Ghanaians after facing criticism for filming a music video at Jubilee House.

The rapper has apologised for the video on his Twitter page. He claims that it was not a deliberate act and that he is unaware of this nation’s culture. He continued by saying that he accepts responsibility for any results.

He tweeted, “My apologies to the people if any disrespect! We still gonna push to make the connection between black people in America and Africa … what I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see coming soon! My apologies to the office also!“

“I don’t think they knew it was video footage when we asked to shoot it’s a small camera and one kid … in America, we didn’t know this existed and was excited to show because they don’t show Ghana on our media much! So I’ll take responsibility for my mistake! Not intentional”.

Media Personality Blakk Rasta has asserted that American rapper Meek Mill has more influence than 99% of artists in Ghana following his Jubilee House controversy.

Meek Mill has gained a lot of attention since Ghanaians called him out for releasing a video of himself and his friends filming a music video at the Jubilee House.

Blakk Rasta claims that despite the widespread belief that Meek Mill’s career is over, he still has a greater impact in Ghana than 99% of other artists.

“Some people call him a dead horse, others call him a rapper who has gone downhill. My brother, my sister in fact a dead lion is not as good as a living dog. Meek Mill is still a man who has a lot of influence. Meek Mill is only 25v years old. Meek Mill has a lot of life. Dead as some people claim he is, he is more alive than 99% of musicians we have in this country in terms of patronage and in terms of influence.”

 Rasta as well stated that “we live in a country where music only trends after we have gone naked on stage. We live in a country where people do not believe in live music. Everything is computerized and they claim this is the computer age. We live in a country where music is so disrespected that musicians come on stage and do karaoke and there are people who clap for them. You expect your music to cross the borders of this country”.
