No funds, no picture!
I have never heard of a celebrity charging his fans for a picture of them! But then again i guess thats the fear of flopping and going back to “the bottom.”
Meek Mill from Maybach Music says he is not charging every fan that walks up to him for a photo. A couple of weeks ago a fan from the Netherlands said that even though she had already paid for V.I.P. tickets, Meek told her it would be an additional $100 to take a picture with him.
When she said she didn’t have any money, she claimed he told her, “No Money, No Picture.“
Fans in Paris also tweeted that the same thing had happened to them , however Meek Mill is now saying its’s not him thats charging fans, its his crew. In an interview with D.C. radio station, 93.9, he said he can’t help if his crew is trying to make quick buck but also said he doesn’t see what the big deal is since artist like Rihanna and Beyonce make fans pay up to $500 for a meet and greet.
Actually, I was not charging to take pictures ya know? My homies be in the crowd and if my homie trying to make some money and you trying to get backstage, he might charge you. That’s your fault. I don’t even see nothing wrong! Beyonce and Rihanna, they charge $500 for a meet and greet. I’m bout to do a meet and greet right now free. I been doing this for years, you know what I’m saying? I take pictures everyday. I just took twenty pictures. I hang in the neighborhood. I hang in the hood. So you know it’s average to me. I come outside everyday, pictures is average to me.”
I hear what your saying Meek but theres a difference between knowing your paying $500 for a meet and greet vs. buying V.I.P tickets to meet your fav celebrity and then on top of that you have to pay $100 to his/her staff to take a pic with them.#Unreal
