Meek Mill has finally been released From Prison
Rapper Meek Mill has been released from prison after he was sentenced to spend two-to-four years in jail for violating the terms of his probation, one of the arresting officers in his case was proven to be on a list of “corrupt cops.” The trial has been shrouded in controversy with Meek’s legal team doing everything they can in order to secure the rapper’s release from prison and it looks like their efforts will finally pay off today.
After a long legal battle, Meek Mill will reportedly be a free man. According to the media publication, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania made the decision to free Meek, overruling Judge Genece Brinkley, who Meek’s team has argued to be biased against the Philly rapper.
Kevin Hart was visiting Meek earlier today and confirmed the news, stating, “Meek Mill is Frrrrreeeeeeeee….I just left from seeing him in jail with @michaelgrubin and we were just told that he is being released.” Meek also made a comment to TMZ on his release, saying, “I’d like to thank God, my family, my friends, my attorneys, my team at Roc Nation including JAY-Z, Desiree Perez, my good friend Michael Rubin, my fans, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and all my public advocates for their love, support and encouragement during this difficult time.”
After being released from prison on bail, the MMG rapper immediately hopped in a helicopter and flew his way to to Philadelphia to see his hometown 76ers take on the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs. While there, Meek rang the ceremonial bell before the game and even saw his favorite team run out to his “Dreams & Nightmares” intro as well, but that wasn’t all.
Following the game, Meek was spotted hanging out with fellow Philly rockstar Lil Uzi Vert. The two took a picture together along with Meek’s son who was also by his father’s side throughout the game.
