Yesterday (Aug. 11), it was revealed that Meek has inked a strategic partnership deal with WME, which is made up of the William Morris Agency and Endeavor. According to Variety, the deal includes the development of Meek‘s Culture Currency initiative, which is geared towards “supporting his network of artists, athletes, and entertainers.”
Meek Mill spoke more on his new venture in an official statement:
“The partnership between WME and Culture Currency is a strategic hybrid structure that will bring resources and opportunities to entertainers. I have grown and learned the business in an unorthodox way that is effective through relationships built on talent and creativity. As an entertainer, I see us as part of the first generation that truly has influence and connections spread throughout social justice, music, sports, the movie industry, politics, business and the tech world. Taking advantage of this opportunity will allow us to give others the same chance to catch their dreams. Thank you WME for opening the door to build this bridge.”
WME President Ari Greenburg also stated that the partnership “will provide an important pipeline for WME to support future cultural influencers and to provide Meek with another platform to continue building his business.”
