MEEK HOME!
Meek Mill was released from prison today after The Philadelphia Supreme Court ordered the rapper to be released on bail.
Upon his release, the Philadelphia star issued a lengthy statement about his ongoing case and his love and support from fans.
“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.
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.

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.

He went on to say that he hopes to make a difference in others’ lives moving forward. “Although I’m blessed to have the resources to fight this unjust situation, 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,” he said.
Meek was released and hopped straight on a helicopter to freshen up and receive a standing ovation at the Sixers game!

“What happened was, you became a household name…Before a motherfucker felt like you had to be a fan of rap to know who the fuck you was. Then, you became a household name.” -T.I
