Meek Mill has received an outpouring of support from his peers after being sentenced to a minimum of two years in prison for violating his probation. Meanwhile, his lawyer Joe Tacopina has been busy doing interviews to shed new light on the case.
Tacopina has spoken to TMZ, Billboard and Angie Martinez to make claims that raise doubt about the fairness of Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley, who presided over Meek’s case. HipHopDX has compiled these accusations, which elucidate how Meek was never going to get a fair shot with this judge.
Bail On Roc Nation, Hire A Friend
Perhaps the most unseemly accusation made against Brinkley is her alleged efforts to get Meek to drop Roc Nation Management in favor of her friend.
“She asked us to go to another local manager in Philly who she happens to have a relationship with,” Tacopina told Angie Martinez. “That really, really shows you that a line’s been crossed, that she’s not being impartial, and she’s not looking at this as just another defendant but she’s taking it personal.”
Motown Philly Meek
The eye-popping headline to emerge from Tacopina’s interviews is his assertion that Brinkley wanted Meek to remake Boyz II Men’s “On Bended Knee” and give her a shout out on the song. According to Tacopina, the conversation took place when she asked him and Nicki Minaj to come back to her chambers during his previous parole violation case.
Meek figured she was joking and laughed at the request. The judge made it clear she wasn’t kidding and Meek rejected the offer.
“Okay, suit yourself,” she allegedly said in response.
Somebody’s Watching Meek
In painting a picture of how Brinkley is enamored of Meek, Tacopina recalled a time where she supposedly showed up while the Dreamchasers boss was doing community service.
“She showed up at his community service for the homeless people,” he told Billboard. “She showed up and sat at the table. She’s a judge. You could pull any judge in America and ask them how many times they’ve showed up at a community service for a probation and the answer is zero.”
Reject The Truth
Tacopina’s claims weren’t limited to her behavior around Meek and odd requests. He also said she was willfully ignoring evidence that contradicted her reasons for the harsh sentence.
“She stopped him for violation of probation was when he went to Atlanta for a rehabilitation clinic, without her approval, she said,” Tacopina explained in his Billboard interview. “Then, we showed her the e-mail, in which the request was made for him to go to Atlanta for rehabilitation, and she approved it, but she said that she never got it, even though she was CC’d on it and that it was addressed to her.
“She asked the district attorney to confirm it and when the district attorney was asked to confirm that she never got it, the district attorney said, ‘No Judge, you did get it and you responded.’ She said, ‘You’re both wrong and I never got it.’ I mean, despite cold hard evidence in her face in an e-mail, she’s claiming that she didn’t get it even though clearly she did. It’s things like that that show that this judge crossed all conceivable lines.”
If any of this is true, she should be stood down.
Milly Milly, he popped a wheelie! He stays outta trouble hes a good guy down in Philly!
This judge sound like a damn nutcase, another example of why women shouldn’t be given positions of power, they let their emotions get in the way of facts
Oh wow just shut the fuck up.
Fuck you hoe, am I wrong??
im telling yall its drake he paid this judge to try to punish meek since meek ethered drake and drake cant get over it. it aint gonna stick though cause meek stay winning. he gonna be free in a month.
Meek “stay winning?” LoL. Nice grammar. Bodies by Grake, the worst closet homosexual rapper out dumped by Niki. Dude was on probation for 11 years for some shit where the initial charges were deopped. LoL. The. He gets sentenced for 2 for popping a wheelie? Hahahaha. Stays losing. Big time. You’re a joke. Your city is too, for that matter.
if he was white the zionist owned media and blm would be callin for his death penalty
That’s actually true.
why make such a lengthy article when u can sum it up in just three words: “he dindu n.uffin.”
She just want him to fall but he can’t…… Dreamchasers for life. #we came from dirt and we ain’t going back
Please. That’s one cheesy ass cheesesteak. Dude got bodied by Drake, the most fake gayest rapper out. Dumped and dogged out by Niki. He’s signed to Officer Snitch Ricky Ross’ label. Then dude gets locked up for wheelies after being on parole for 11 years after the initial charges were dropped. Hahahaha. How many L’s can one man take? SeriouslY!
How many L’s can one man take? The L King meek miLL? I’d say about a milli.
this whack ass judge acting like some bitter momma!
genece brinkley deserves to have her judgement, revoked!
“Her judgement revoked.” Wow. Someone didn’t even vem come close to that GED/High School diploma. That someone is you! Regardless of whatever anyone says about the judge, he clearly violated his probation. And he is a talentless hack and born loser.
Hilarious!!
What a shocker! The Dinduchaser hired a Dindu lawyer. Sarcasm.
Damning? Meek takes another l for hiring this tmz ass lawyer he would’ve been better off with blac chyna’s lawyer….who cares about the judge meek was given 10 times more slack for the amount of times he violated his probation in the last 2 years than anyone else wouldve gotten…he messed up regardless if the judge or his po doesn’t like him it’s his fault stop crying and accept the consequences of your actions
Can’t even get any black privilege with a black judge. Sad.
if yall actually READ what his lawyers arguments were, you would see that Meek Mill did not violate his probation because the judge was sent an e-mail asking her permission for Meek Mill to travel to Atlanta for rehab and she APPROVED. the proof is there and the District Attorney even acknowledged this to be fact. despite all evidence the judge DENIED the fact that she was not only alerted but approved of his request even though the email in which she is cc’d and responds exist for all to see. that is FUCKING CRAZY
This is the same judge who allowed meek to stay free when the DA and prosecutor wanted him locked up the last time he went through this….face it meek has nobody to blame but himself
SHe also gave him permission to wrecklessly ride an illegal motorcycle thru NY streets? You are a fucktard.
Bizzare af if true. This is typical of Democratic Party machine in Philly, very similar to banana republic, third world corruption anytime Democrats take over a political system for so long.
Russia is that you?
sooooooo why didn’t they petition the courts to get a new judge to preside over his case?????? that’s my question, Meek had a terrible lawyer.
Can someone please explain to me why y’all hate this man so much! Seriously, is it over that drake mess? I really wanna know… PLEASE?
He was popping wheelies for children asswipe.
