BREAKING: Meek Mill Is Free

I’d like to thank God, my family, and all my public advocates for their love, support and encouragement during this difficult time. While the past five months have been a nightmare, the prayers, visits, calls, letters and rallies have helped me stay positive.

After five months of controversy, the Supreme Court of PA made the decision to overturn a judge’s previous decision to keep rapper Meek Mill in prison even when presented with evidence of a dirty cop.

The court made the decision to overturn Judge Genece Brinkley who was severely criticized for what some say was a grudge against Meek and keeping him in prison, despite prosecutors asking that his conviction be overturned because of a dirty cop.

To the Philly District Attorney’s office, I’m grateful for your commitment to justice. I understand that many people of color across the country don’t have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues.

The justices released Meek with no bail, pending a hearing in about 60 days to possibly dismiss the conviction. However, they did not dismiss Judge Brinkley from the case.

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.

Mill was sentenced in November to two to four years for violating probation on a roughly decade-old gun and drug case.
