Meek Mill’s decision to get Ghanaian citizenship follows recent controversies, including being forced to deny allegations regarding his sexuality after being implicated in a lawsuit against music executive Diddy.

The lawsuit, filed by former producer Rodney Jones, raised claims of sexual assault against Diddy, with Meek Mill indirectly referenced in the document.

The rapper’s pursuit of Ghanaian citizenship reflects a broader trend of prominent figures looking beyond their home countries for various reasons.

KanyiDaily recalls that American female rapper, Cardi B had previously begged fans to convince her estranged husband, Offset, to move to Nigeria with her.
