(Photos) Is This The Cause Of Meek Mill’s Issues With Drake?

As you know by now, Meek Mill went on quite the tirade last night on Twitter, taking aim at Drake (amongst others,) calling him out for not writing his own rhymes. During the series of tweets, Meek made reference to Drake not tweeting out a link to purchase Dreams Worth More Than Money – despite having an appearance on it on “R.I.C.O.” – and many believed this to be the cause of the beef. If you’ll recall, that exact scenario was the reason Meek and his MMG labelmate Wale went at it last summer.

“And it ain’t about no tweet he ain’t post my album and he on it because he know we found out! It’s so much to it lol”

As onlookers began tweeting their responses to his honestly shocking beef, Karen Civil chimed in to explain that it wasn’t about the album link at all. Check out what she said in the gallery. Wonder if we’ll get a response from Drake soon!

For her 30th birthday this past weekend, media mogul and very good friend of the site, Karen Civil, decided to give a gift instead of receiving one. The industry power-player linked up with Sow A Seed and Project PlayWorld to donate over $40,000 and build the “Live Civil Playground” at Prodev-operated school Ecole Nouvelle Zoranje in Village de la Renaissance in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, made out of environmentally sound and recycled materials. “I believe in the power of play,” Karen said about giving a gift on her birthday. “Unfortunately, Haiti does not have many safe environments for children to play and express themselves. Coming from a Haitian-American home, I thought it was necessary to give back to the country in which my parents were raised. That is why I believe in Project PlayWorld’s efforts to to provide secure playing spaces for the children of Haiti with the Live Civil Playground.” The playground will officially be open this February. What an amazing feat! Congrats, Karen and happy birthday again! Hit the jump to get details on what the Live Civil Playground will consist of, as well as video of Karen on her trip there this weekend.
