The Grammy-nominated rapper has frequently visited Ghana for significant events since President Nana Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government launched the Year of Return initiative in 2019.

In January 2023, Meek Mill received backlash from Ghanaians after he and his entourage shot a controversial music video at the Jubilee House, the seat of Ghana's presidency, during his visit to see the president.

The rapper later deleted the music video and apologised for his actions after a massive uproar from numerous Ghanaians on social media.
