American rapper Meek Mill has publicly announced his intention to obtain Ghanaian citizenship.
He posted on X to explain his reason for swapping his nationality.
Reasons Behind the Decision Meek Mill, whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, cited the systemic challenges faced by black individuals in America as the driving force behind his desire for a fresh start.
“I wanna get citizenship in Ghana!!! America made to tear black men down if you don’t follow orders!”
The rapper’s announcement sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.
Ghanaians, both in the country and abroad, engaged in lively discussions about the implications of Meek Mill’s decision. Some applauded his choice, recognizing Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, warm hospitality, and historical ties to the African diaspora. Others, however, raised valid concerns, including the recent passage of an anti-LGBTQ bill by the Ghanaian Parliament.
