Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill has recently taken to social media to demand answers from presidential candidate Kamala Harris regarding her past career as a prosecutor in California.
This move comes amid various unsubstantiated rumors about Harris's prosecutorial record, particularly concerning the incarceration rates of minorities.
Meek Mill expressed his concerns on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "I wanna ask Kamala Harris questions about her past as a DA, even if she had to be tough. All I hear is rumors of her … I would ask her 3 questions about black and brown men going to prison and her views and try to help her understand from a survival standpoint point she may have never had to encounter!"

This tweet signifies his desire to address the rumors and seek clarity on Harris's actions during her tenure as California’s attorney general from 2011 to 2016.
One of the most prominent rumors circulating on social media includes a Facebook post that was shared hundreds of thousands of times, alleging that Harris imprisoned 1,500 Black men for possession of marijuana.
However, fact-checking by AFP reveals that while nearly 2,000 individuals were sent to state prison for marijuana-related offenses during Harris's time in office, there is no demographic data available to confirm the ethnic or gender breakdown of those incarcerated.
In response to conservative commentator Joey Mannarino's suggestion that former President Donald Trump would likely be willing to sit down with Meek Mill to answer such hard-hitting questions, the rapper replied, "I think he would too on my platform lol politics are scary tho he just got shot few weeks ago. I’ve been tryna heal up from that gun stuff I got PTSD!"

Beyond his inquiries into Harris's past, Meek Mill has also been active in efforts to reduce gun violence in his native Philadelphia. Earlier this year, he proposed a public contract with the city, pledging to donate 10% of his music earnings to combat gun violence.
He wrote, "Ima do a public contract with the city of Philadelphia where 10% of my music earnings go to the city of Philadelphia to combat gun violence in our city… ima start this movement!"
