Overall, Meek Mill’s tweet served as a reminder that cultural awareness and knowledge of international fan bases are essential for artists in today’s globalized music industry.
Ignorance can quickly lead to backlash, as Meek Mill learned the hard way. Hopefully, he’ll take this as a lesson and make an effort to educate himself about his international fan base in the future.
