Chile! Meek Mill is in the hot seat with social media users after posing with two women in Dubai. Critics are calling him out for reposting the image on his platform for one reason only: the women in it appear to be non-Black. What’s the issue there? Well, the rapper flexed that part of his trip amid Shannon Sharpe tussling with a $50 million lawsuit from a non-Black woman who is accusing him of rape.
To be clear, Meek Mill’s trip and Shannon Shape’s plight have no connection at all. Still, the consensus on social media seems to be that it’s not the right time to show love to “snow bunnies.” Meanwhile, Mill has already cleared up his ties to the women in the viral photo.

Meek Mill Seemingly Clarifies “Snow Bunnies” Photo
Meek has been living it up in Dubai for the last few days, sharing footage on his Instagram feed and Stories. From ATV riding in the desert to partying in nightclubs, the rapper seems to be having a TIME!
Then, on Tuesday (April 22), he reshared the viral photo with his female fans on his IG Stories. That single picture, which didn’t even make it onto Meek Mill’s feed, had the internet in a frenzy. One of the women pictured, Marina, was the first person to share and tag him in it. The identity of the second woman in the photo is unknown.
The actual image shows Meek, Marina, and the other woman standing in what looks like beach water. He’s shirtless, and they’re in bikinis. Marina is standing on the right side of Meek, and the other woman is on the left, while he stands in the middle with his arms around each of their waists. When the rapper reposted the image, he didn’t add a caption. After Meek shared the photo, Marina again reposted it on Stories.
Hours after catching a lil’ bit of heat, Meek wrote on his IG Stories: “Why they keep posting me on blogs with 2 fans…who makes the decisions of what Meek post to put on blogs? lol.” Though he’s known for putting his “Twitter fingers” to work, he hasn’t addressed the backlash there as of Wednesday.
Foot On Neck? Social Media Sounds OFF
Fans or not, the backlash has continued across platforms, from Instagram to X (Twitter). While the photo itself is drawing some heat, the timing seems to be setting off the comment sections the MOST.

What’s Going On With Shannon Sharpe?
This past weekend, Jane Doe filed the bombshell lawsuit against the sports commentator. She’s accusing him of “assault, sexual assault, battery, and sexual battery, and… intentional infliction of emotional distress.” Doe claims that he recorded their sexual activity without consent, and that in October 2024 he forcibly raped her. He and his lawyer have since denied the allegations and released text messages showing the nature of their relationship. Meanwhile, the woman’s legal team has released audio of their interactions.
