American Rapper Meek Mill recently became the subject of relentless teasing from African Twitter users, much to the amusement of Hip Hop enthusiasts.
On January 20, Meek took to the platform, formerly known as Twitter, to pose what he thought was an innocuous question. He asked, “Do a lot of people play my music in South Africa? I remember having a big show there a few years back… how do you all listen to our music in South Africa? On what platform or in Nigeria?”
The responses were immediate and unrelenting. One commenter humorously stated, “Well, it depends on the season. In summer, we hear it through the trunk of an elephant. In spring, the giraffes catch the signal and play it out loud. You get me?”
Another user contributed, “Normally, we use rocks, but on a good day, we use trees, or we get one person to sing for the whole village.”
A more elaborate reply humorously described, “On a good day, we climb the mountain to listen to the forest play your music. On rainy days, we go down to the nearest river, and a mermaid comes out to sing your songs. We have only one computer here in my village, so it was my turn to tweet. [praying hands emoji] will hear from me next year.”

Our local Sangoma dreams about your music then once every Friday he uses drums and sticks to perform for us. Only problem is his English isn’t so good, so do you say there’s “a lot of bad witches in the bathroom amen ayeyoooo?” https://t.co/L1B6iM5db1 pic.twitter.com/iFJReRnpK2
