What happened between Meek Mill and Dee-1? Fredo Bang reportedly facilitated reconciliation between the 2 during Super Bowl LIX

On February 25, 2025, Dee-1 appeared for an interview with Revolt News, wherein he commented on reconciling with Meek Mill after their public feud in 2023. Dee-1 gave credit to American rapper Fredo Bang for facilitating the reconciliation between the 2 rappers during Super Bowl LIX.

Dee-1, whose real name is David Arnold Augustine Jr., told Revolt News:

"Shout out to my little brother, Fredo Bang, because he knows Meek personally. He facilitated it to make sure it was good. And I went, walked through, Meek had about 25 people with him."

The beef between David and Meek Mill reportedly began in November 2023 when the No Car Note rapper called out Meek, Jim Jones, and Rick Ross during an appearance on Sway's Universe. David mentioned that the lyrics of all 3 rappers promoted harmful behavior and that they could "do better". Naming Meek Mill, Jim Jones, and Rick Ross, Dee-1 stated:

"I love you too much not to be honest with you. Oh, you the face of prison reform? Or are you sitting here on your new song with Ross talking about getting somebody murked and shot at the red light? Which one is it, bro?”

During his comments on Meek Mill, Rick Ross, and Jim Jones, David also named Lil Snupe and mentioned that his death left him questioning why the 3 rappers were glorifying the same thing that killed Snupe. Lil Snupe, aka Addarren La Keith Ross, was signed to Meek Mill's Dream Chasers Records, and he passed away on June 20, 2013, due to gun violence at the age of 18.

While Meek Mill didn't say much about David's comments, he took to Instagram in November 2023, posting a story stating:

“Nah, we do everything, lol. I was rapping this way when I became the face of reform… That’s how I got there, y’all forgot that fast.”
