Meek Mill partners with Puma and Philadelphia to renovate the city’s basketball courts
In his latest social good efforts, Meek Mill has partnered with Puma and the city of Philadelphia to refurbish the city’s basketball courts.

Meek Mill has partnered with Puma and the city of Philadelphia to refurbish the city’s basketball courts.
The rapper unveiled his first project earlier this month at a block party.
The newly renovated Strawberry Mansion Legacy Courts are located at East Fairmount Park in North Philadelphia.
Born Robert Rihmeek Williams, the Philly native grew up right across the street and said he chose the courts for that very reason.
“North Philly will always be home. When kids go to East Fairmount Park, they deserve to ball in the best conditions possible, so I’m glad they’ll have that opportunity now,” Mill told TMZ.

The 32-year-old launched the project then connected with city officials and Puma, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The rapper then reached out to Philadelphia based artist, Glossblack, who connected him with the city’s Mural Arts program.
The mural was completed over a six week period with the support of the Mural Art’s Restorative Justice program, which employs incarcerated and formerly incarcerated young adults and connects them with their communities through initiatives such as this.
The court renovations are just the latest in the rapper’s community efforts. After his own battles with the criminal justice system, Mill started Reform Alliance, a national movement to fight for criminal justice reform, in partnership with rapper Jay Z and billionaire businessman Robert F. Smith.
Political commentator Van Jones is the CEO of the new company, which aims to bring leaders from across all sectors and utilize their resources to reform policies, laws and practices that are unjust.
