Meek Mill's one step closer to becoming the rap game's next Jay-Z as he steps into the corporate world. Ever since his release from prison last year, he's been on a heavy grind in not only music but also in business, activism, and film. The rapper serves as the CEO of Dream Chasers and now, he could add corporate co-owner to his resume. Meek's announced his investment in sports apparel retailer Lids earlier today, making him the new co-owner of the company.

“I’ve always been a fan of Lids – growing up, I remember buying their hats to match my outfits and look my best,” Mill said. “It’s amazing to see my relationship with the brand come full-circle and have the opportunity to evolve as a businessman. We have a great team in place and we’re looking forward to taking Lids to new heights.”

On top of being the co-owner of the company, Meek Mill will also be utilizing his creative brilliance towards brand strategy and limited-edition hat lines with the first capsule dropping in August.

"The Lids design team is thrilled to collaborate with Meek Mill. He is a true original artist with an incredible sense of fashion. Meek’s first line of hats will be unique and the first of many ways we work together,” Lids Chief Executive Officer Tom Ripley said.

Keep your eyes peeled for more information on Meek Mill's exclusive hat line.

I respect his move.
I just hate that they now want to "market" to us.
I guess better late than never.
 
Does it really matter?
depends who you ask, but to me, yea. I feel its misleading and give black people a false sense of power/accomplishment, yet likes white people profit from our misguided support. Jay-Z with the Nets prob the best example. Minorities bought tons of merch, the team got free press everywhere and they welcomed to move to BK gentrifying it way faster, displacing a bunch of colored people. All while Jay & the white owner knew he didnt own shit, but by the time that really got out, the owner got his team and Jay got his check. And so far anyone thats not cool with what he did gets called a hater.

Does he own that .05%? If so, yes he's one of the co owners lol

The story don't read Equal Partner. Co literally means 'one of'.
Ok...so you still look at minority owner like a full owner because he's still an owner, correct?
