Philadelphia-based rapper Meek Mill has compared Netflix’s populer show named Squid Game to “hood poverty”, claiming that it represents “the exact same thing.”
The South Korean survival drama Squid Game, which has recently become the streaming service’s biggest series launch ever, chronicles a dystopian competition where people in debt are forced to participate in a series of deadly games to win a big cash prize.
Meek Mill, one of the people who watched the show and jumped on Twitter recently, explained what the show was aiming for and compared it to hood poverty.
Here’s what Meek Mill wrote:
“Squid games pay attention how fast people switch and kill eachother to survive …now think about the “hood” poverty …it’s the exact same thing …if you just help them with work/money they won’t be that way “just a common sense message”
