About
Meek Mill Is Not A Real Person, also known as Meek Mill Is A Social Experiment, is a conspiracy theory that rapper Meek Mill is not human due to multiple pieces of media that supposedly prove otherwise. This is mostly due to his odd, physical mannerisms that read more like an NPC or alien to some. Starting in 2020, multiple "Meek Mill Is Not A Real Person" Twitter threads surfaced that outlined the supposed mounting evidence. TikTok videos soon followed, as well as discourse on Reddit going into 2022.

Meek Mill's Front Flip at a 76er's Game
On October 21st, 2017, Meek Mill was a celebrity guest at a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game and was recorded doing a front flip on a mini trampoline in one of the back hallways.
