American hip-hop star Meek Mill has expressed his desire to gain Ghanaian citizenship, citing a deep connection with the country and its people. The rapper, who made his first visit to Ghana in 2022, was captivated by the warm reception he received from ordinary Ghanaians to top politicians.
During his visit, Meek Mill had the opportunity to meet with the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, further solidifying his admiration for the country. His positive experiences in Ghana have led him to consider making it his second home.
In a recent tweet, Meek Mill shared his intentions, stating,
“I wanna get citizenship in Ghana!!!! America made to tear black men down if you don’t follow orders.”

This statement reflects his disillusionment with the challenges he has faced in America, particularly within the hip-hop industry.
As Meek Mill continues to navigate issues in America, his desire to become a Ghanaian citizen highlights the country’s growing appeal as a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals of African descent. His potential citizenship could further strengthen cultural ties between Ghana and the African diaspora.
