BREAKING: Meek Mill Released From Prison [PEEP]

From #FreeMeekMill to #MeekMillFree.

After an ongoing battle with Pennsylvania courts that will continue, Meek Mill is finally free. He was jailed last November of last year for probation violations that stemmed from a 2011 sentence before the Philadelphia Supreme Court demanded he be freed.

Meek had first filed the bail petition in his probation case, which warranted 2-4 years in prison. His lawyer Joe Tacopina filed the motion to Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley, who rejected the request and ordered he be jailed on a 2-4 year prison sentence. While denying the bail petition Judge Brinkley went on to call Meek a “danger to the community” and a “flight risk.”

Although his bail request was finally granted and he is now, the fight will have to continue. The rapper said in a statement that, “In the meantime, I plan to work closely with my legal team to overturn this unwarranted conviction and look forward to reuniting with my family and resuming my music career.”

Upon being released and getting his phone back, Meek wrote a letter of appreciation to everyone who has been by his side like God, JAY-Z, family, Roc Nation, The Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and more.

“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,” he wrote in and IG post.
