During his Vulture interview, Meek Mill revealed that he tried to talk Kanye out of visiting the White House back in October.

Meek says he spoke with Kanye for hours but he couldn’t reason with him or Kim Kardashian. “It was a mockery, really. I don’t think he addressed anything that had to do with what was tough on justice reform.

He wasn’t prepared for it, and he shouldn’t have done it.” said Meek. The Philadelphia rapper says he was also invited to the White House to meet with President Trump but turned down the offer, “It was too much of a game, and I wasn’t trying to be used like a pawn.” Meek is getting ready to release his new album, Championships this Friday.

He also wrote an op-ed in the New York Times about criminal justice reform. Do you think artists should be public with their political views?
