Meek Mill reportedly fled the scene after arriving at a concert for University of Massachusetts and finding the crowd to be too small for his liking. The concert was presented in tandem with the university’s annual Blarney Blowout weekend. The concert’s opening act was Bronx-bred rapper Lil Tjay. Upon arriving at facility where he was scheduled to perform Meek Mill apparently noticed a crowd too small for his liking and decided he was too good for such a small-crowd performance. The crowd reportedly numbered 1,500 concert goers. Advance tickets were only $10. Concert tickets purchased on the day of the event cost $15. Ticket purchases will be refunded. The concert was included in the University’s anti-violence efforts.
Brandi Hephner LaBanc, UMass Amherst vice chancellor for student affairs, stated, “Although the concert did not go as planned, students were very cooperative. We are equally disappointed in Meek Mill’s decision not to perform. Refunds will be made available to ticketholders in the near future.”
Fans don’t seem to be too happy.
Lost respect for @MeekMill– today he pulled up to UMass for a concert students were looking forward to (especially students of color that came to see him), the crowd wasn’t as large as he wanted it to be so he left and didn’t perform. Unprofessional and selfish.

What’s crazy is he is taking zero ownership. He been tweeting all day having a great time while students were waiting since 9am for him. Nope. Respect out the window.

UPDATE:
Meek Mill got to UMass and left.There will be no Meek Mill at the @MullinsCenter or for #MullinsLive
At least tickets were only $10-15 but it remains to be seen if refunds will be given out.

@MeekMill pulled up to UMass Amherst, went to his dressing room, took all the amenities, and dipped out because the crowd wasn’t what you thought? 🤨
