I would like to Query a custom post by the current ACF Meta Key values on a single custom post type page. I currently have a CPT called "news", a single-news.php page and ACF checkbox labeled news_type. Within page I would like to find the current news_type Meta_key value and query the posts that contain the same value, like a related news section. After some research I found that it is possible to query by meta_key like so:

<?php

// args
$args = array(
    'numberposts'   => 6,
    'post_type'     => 'news',
     'meta_key'      => var_dump( $my_current_meta_value ),
);


// query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
    <ul class="row small-up-2 medium-up-2 large-up-1">
    <?php while( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
        <li class="column column-block">
            <div class="large-10 columns large-centered">

            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                <article>

                     <?php
                         if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
                             the_post_thumbnail();
                         }
                     ?>
                     <hr>

     <h4 class="entry-title"><?php the_title() ?></h4>

             </article>
            </a>
        </div>
        </li>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>
<ul>

I am aware that wordpress lets you get_post_meta() and would look like this

<?php $my_current_meta_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'news_type', true ); ?>

based on this approach I should be able to pass my variable through the meta_value like so:

 <?php
    
    // args


$my_current_meta_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'news_type', true );

    $args = array(
        'numberposts'   => 6,
        'post_type'     => 'news',
        'meta_key'      => ''.$my_current_meta_value.''

    );
    
    
    // query
    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    
    ?>
    <?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
        <ul class="row small-up-2 medium-up-2 large-up-1">
        <?php while( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
            <li class="column column-block">
                <div class="large-10 columns large-centered">
    
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                    <article>
    
                         <?php
                             if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
                                 the_post_thumbnail();
                             }
                         ?>
                         <hr>
    
         <h4 class="entry-title"><?php the_title() ?></h4>
    
                 </article>
                </a>
            </div>
            </li>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
        </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>
    
    <?php wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>
    <ul>

The True parameter above is said to grab the first associated value with the meta_key and query based on that but this doesn't seem to be working and i get a Notice: Array to string conversion. I would really appreciate the help.
