Meek Mill Gets Candid In NBC Special “Dreams And Nightmares: The Meek Mill Story” [WATCH]

Since being freed from prison Meek Mill hasn’t done any interviews on his current legal battles and ongoing probation violation case, which dates back to 2011. In his first interview since getting out on bail the Philadelphia rapper sat down with Lester Holt for his NBC Special “Dreams and Nightmares: The Meek Mill Story.”

The full broadcast aired on NBC last night and included exclusive access to Meek’s situation and prison release, beginning with his release last month and chopper ride with Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin to the game, shortly after his release.

For over 40-minutes Meek and Holt discussed the rapper’s redemption, quest to freedom, beginning an entire justice reform movement, the justice system in America, his ongoing legal battle, and even his opioid addiction, which wasn’t made public until yesterday.

Along with speaking to Meek, Holt also spoke to his mother Kathy Williams and sister Nasheema Williams about the issues at hand. Meek also discussed missing his family, support from fans, and more.

When asked about his responsibility Meek said, “At this point, it’s not all about me having the light to shine on my situation. It’s about the thousands of others that’s caught up in that situation. How can we fix young black men going to jail for frivolous reasons and other young children growing up without fathers in their homes? And the cycle continuing of young black men going to prison.”
