Did Nicki Minaj get Meek Mill the money he has? That's what some people have asked on the Internet, and the Philly rapper addressed the chatter in a recent Billboard interview.  This came after he dissed Barbz on his 'Wins & Losses' album and after the two exchanged fire on social media.

"I'll look at the Internet and see comments like 'Meek got Nicki money,'" he said. "You can't know nothing about Meek Mill if you saying something like that. They be like 'Meek Mill can't rap, somebody wrote Meek Mill raps.' I came up on YouTube rapping since I was 14 years old. That's my importance to the streets. They seen me come up. My story is not a facade."

"I don't know nothing about him getting jumped on," stated Meek. "I pulled up and actually seen him getting in an altercation. You can look at my face and see that I was surprised ... Street fights take place all the time. I ain't touch nobody ... I'm on strict probation."

"Everybody saying that I'm losing and I lost. I lost my case. I lost my friends to the streets. Those things really meant something to me. I started off in the basement on a karaoke machine. Now I'm in million-dollar studios, making a lot of money being able to feed my family and take them out a crazy environment, still being able to wake up on my own time and do things how I want to do it. That's my definition of winning. I determine my definition of losing on this album."
