Any Millennial in tune with rap culture is well aware of the ongoing feud between rappers Drake and Meek Mill. Though diss tracks have been released from both parties along with an array of memes, the fiery conflict has just gone up a notch with the release of the 'Meeky Mill' video game.
Meeky Mill was created by musician and game developer Richie Branson. The game stars Meek Mill on a runner-style adventure to make $1 million while dodging the occasional obstacles. Meek is also to avoid the deathly bombs that are dropped from above by rapper's Drake and 50 Cent who seem to be following him in spaceships.
Whether a reconciliation between Drake and Meek Mill happens or not, Meeky Mill can be downloaded on its official website and played on PC and Mac.
