Killer Mike Defends Meek Mill's 'Expensive Pain' Cover

by Daryl Nelson

There is some controversy surrounding the artwork for Meek Mill's Expensive Pain album.

The cover shows paintings of naked Black women in risqué positions, with one of them bending over. Earlier this week, one guy in Philly was outraged after seeing a bus drive by that had the images plastered all over it and asked everyone to think of the children

But Killer Mike says everyone needs to calm down and just open their minds a little.

It's art. Absolutely. We as a society see naked humans in art in museums. We should also be cultured enough as adults & parents to have a convo about nudity & art with our children. I say this as a parent, rapper & a High Museum of ART Board member. Love & Respect Doc. https://t.co/HOmYAC1q6g

Do you find the Expensive Pain cover offensive?
