Meek Mill Teases Devilish ‘Championships’ Sequel

Meek Mill has teased a potential sequel to his 2018 album, Championships, which appears to be subtitled Don’t Follow The Heathens.

On Thursday (August 31), the Philadelphia native took to his Instagram Stories to make the announcement, where he also dropped what appeared to be the tracklisting for the album.

One song appeared to be titled “Apocalypse 2” and looks like it’s produced by Cardo, and the tracklisting seemed to imply that there were 31 songs totaling one hour and 31 minutes.

He also capped off the teaser with a series of devil face emojis, but didn’t leave any other information about the album, including its potential release date.

Released in November 2018, Championships was the first album that Meek Mill dropped upon his release from prison following a five-month stint at the Chester State Penitentiary.

Meek was sentenced to two to four years in prison for a probation violation stemming from a 2009 gun possession charge. Judge Genece Brinkley, who’d been overseeing his case since the beginning, was highly criticized for her handling of the high-profile case.

The 19-track LP was also notable for featuring a collaboration between Meek and his former rival Drake. The song, “Going Bad,” marked the first time the two had worked together in three years.

JAY-Z, Rick Ross, Future, Young Thug, 21 Savage and Kodak Black are among the other guests on the album. Production was handled by Tay Keith, Bangladesh, Papamitrou and more.

By February 2019, the album had been certified gold. At that time, producer Papamitrou spoke extensively to HipHopDX about his experience working on the album.

“They found me on Instagram,” Papamitrou told DX. “I didn’t get really serious about making beats until my freshman year of college. I started putting a lot of YouTube videos out. I would put Meek Mill-type beats up all the time and it would hit. I have a couple that have a couple million views.

“I started posting Instagram videos saying, ‘Meek Mill would love this beat.’ I was just trying to get a little bit of attention, thinking maybe someone will catch something. Next thing you you know, I look at my notifications and it said Meek Mill liked your video.”
