“Why you so passionate about my thoughts… you get any money this week?” Meek wrote after receiving backlash, before adding, “Are you eating off your education. Who are you and why you on my dick like this? lol I be crushing this life. Chill bro, I feed families trees you not on my level…”

While he may not be a fan of the historical background of the holiday, Meek has celebrated the event with “Dreamchasers Thanksgiving” drives in years past. He also mentioned that he will still be meeting up with his family this year.

Meek’s Thanksgiving comments come following his release of the Flamerz 5 mixtape on Monday. On the tape, Meek raps over some of the biggest hits of the year, including GloRilla’s “Tomorrow,” DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID” as well as Ice Spice’s “Munch (Feelin’ U).”
