Meek Mill: White Man Spray-Painted Racist Remark About White Privilege on Grandma's Philadelphia Home

Rapper Meek Mill, whose birth name is Rihmeek Williams, claimed his grandmother's home was vandalized with racially-charged graffiti on Monday night.

Tuesday morning, Mill shared surveillance footage from a Nest security camera, which showed what he claimed was his grandmother's home in South Philadelphia. The man, dressed in a black jacket and hat, crossed the street and spray painted the side of a building.

The spray paint, which appeared to be white, was a "racial remark" referencing white privilege, according to Mill. In the video, it's unclear what exactly the alleged vandal spray-painted onto the side of the building. The rapper recommended that the vandal shouldn't let him catch him.

"The crazy part is this was [an] all black neighborhood 20 years ago," Mill wrote on Twitter. "It was gentrified and now this!"

The Philadelphia Police Department told Newsweek that as of Tuesday afternoon, they had not received a police report with regard to the incident and were not contacted about it.

Mill, a rapper from Philadelphia, gained large support from his community after he was given a two-to-four year prison sentence for violating the terms of his parole in 2017. Many fans and supporters saw it as an unfair punishment for his actions, sparking calls for his release.

In April, Mill was released after spending five months in prison. After regaining his freedom, the rapper posted a statement on Twitter, thanking God, his family and supporters for their love and encouragement during the difficult time. He also thanked the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office for his commitment to justice.

"I understand that many people of color across the country don't have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues," he wrote on Twitter.

Since his release, Mill has advocated for criminal justice reform, penning an opinion piece for The New York Times in November. He acknowledged that he's one of the luckier people to be incarcerated and the exception to the rule.

Mill pointed out that many people of color who are from low-income areas and charged with a crime are assigned a public defender who is too overworked to do anything other than negotiate a plea deal. In light of his own experience as someone he described as being treating unfairly by the criminal justice system, the rapper said he would push for reforms such as:

• Stronger prison rehabilitation programs
• Updated probation policies
• Improved bail system
• Balanced sentencing structures

"Above all, we need to make sure punishments actually fit crimes. Mine certainly didn't," Mill wrote in the article. "But I am choosing to see my situation in a different light, to see that I'm incredibly fortunate. A higher power has put me in a position to help fix this — to help clean up this persistent stain on our society."

On November 30, Mill released his fourth studio album titled, "Championships."
