Meek Mill recently revealed that, while he would be open to charging as little as $150,000 in the appropriate circumstances, he costs $250,000 for a verse.
“Every time I do a verse I charge 250k and up if you got 150k on sight and I like the song we can swap it outtt!!!!” Meek shared on X.
As per a 2022 Complex compilation showcasing rappers’ fee for a feature, Meek Mill appears to be charging a similar amount as his contemporaries. The native of Philadelphia definitely expects a lot more money than J. Cole, who denied allegations that he gets paid $2,000 per word by revealing last year that he does not charge for a verse.

“Yo, bro, it’s just a bar, bro,” Cole said on Lil Yachty and Mitch’s A Safe Place podcast. “Like, a lot of my bars be really on point but that’s just a flex. I’m not gonna charge a na $2,000 a word. I don’t even charge na for the verse, I’m doing this shit because I’m inspired to do it.”
He continued, “I’m not charging n***as because, you know, I want to be on the song. I wouldn’t do that.”
Meek Mill continued to clarify on Wednesday that his contribution and value extend beyond the song’s position in the charts. An artist receives the chance to reach a wider audience in addition to a verse, which includes his tens of millions of followers.
“Some of these artist need others platform to get their point across and I offer them data and fanbase opportunities along with mass marketing I have 50 millions followers with real engagement,” the rapper wrote.
With all that wealth, what is Meek doing? It appears that he wants to add 15 acres in south New Jersey to his real estate holdings; most significantly, there are no marshes on the property.
“Looking for 15 Acres in south nj no wetlands tho help me out,” Meek sent out to fans on Wednesday. Real estate bros it’s your time to shine.
