Mill, 35, then revealed that his tweets were partially informed by his friends from the U.K. not celebrating the U.S. holiday. A Twitter user then responded that all Meek had to do was a “quick Google search” to understand why someone from London would not be celebrating the holiday.
The “Dreams & Nightmares” rapper clapped back with: “Why you so passionate about my thoughts … you get any money this week? Are you eating off your education. Who are you and why you on my d#%k like this lol I be crushing this life chill bro I feed families trees you not on my level … this the vibes now tf lol goofy.”

It seems as though Meek isn’t the only rapper with the same sentiments about the holiday. Ice T also shared that he believes that Thanksgiving, “is one of the most BS Holidays ever…. But we’ll take the days off!”

Many people skip out on the day of harvest due to its historic origin story. According to WBUR, Thanksgiving can be considered a “day of mourning.” Indigenous descendants often hold the holiday as time to reflect on the violent battle their ancestors went through, trying to protect and preserve their land that was stolen by colonizers.
However, many American families today use the holiday as a time to come together, eat and reflect on the blessings in their lives.
