Although this is first interest in esports, Meek Mill has been a longtime gamer, and even mentions some of favorite games in his lyrics.
In September, he was spotted playing FIFA against a professional soccer player for Philadelphia Union, while attending the Made in America festival – esports organization Gen.G shared the clip online.
Hold up, wait a minute… did that just happen?!

Meek hasn’t revealed what games he’s interested in feilding teams for specifically, but a number of professional Call of Duty players have already shown interest, including FaZe Clan’s Dillon ‘Attach’ Price.

Soon to be former Red Reserve players Trei ‘Zer0’ Morris and Matthew ‘Skrapz’ Marshall were also quickly in Meek Mill’s replies, as their previous organization are said to have ran into financial issues.
DONT GAS ME UP.

He isn’t the first hip-hop artist to show interest in competitive gaming either, as Soulja Boy recently claimed that he too was starting an esports team.
From sports games like FIFA and Madden, to first person shooters like CS:GO and Call of Duty, and even MOBA’s like League of Legends and DotA2, there’s a lot of choice for Meek Mill to get his journey in esports started.
