Meek Mill is getting into the sports apparel business. On Wednesday (June 26), the rapper announced that he is a co-owner of popular hat retailer Lids. "I've always been a fan of Lids – growing up, I remember buying their hats to match my outfits and look my best," Mill said. "It's amazing to see my relationship with the brand come full-circle and have the opportunity to evolve as a businessman. We have a great team in place and we're looking forward to taking Lids to new heights." Mill will also serve as the new head of creative strategy. In addition, the first of his many limited-edition lines of hats will be released this August. "The Lids design team is thrilled to collaborate with Meek Mill. He is a true original artist with an incredible sense of fashion. Meek’s first line of hats will be unique and the first of many ways we work together,” Lids Chief Executive Officer Tom Ripley said.
