A large group of Meek Mill fans and Rick Ross turned out in support of the incarcerated rapper at Monday’s (November 13) Rally For Meek, which took place outside the Criminal Justice Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Meek, whose real name is Robert Williams, was sentenced to two to four years in prison for violating probation stemming from a 2008 drug and gun conviction. The sentence has been deemed unjust by some, inspiring a petition for the Dreamchasers founder’s freedom.
Many in the Hip Hop community, including JAY-Z and Black Thought, have stood up for Meek and criticized the sentence handed down by Judge Genece Brinkley as being too harsh. Meek’s hometown fans took it a step further by showing up in full force on the streets of Philadelphia for the rally, which was highlighted by the attendance of Rick Ross.
“I’m here for one reason, I’m here to support my brother Meek Mill,” the Maybach Music Group leader told the crowd. “If it takes Meek Mill to draw this attention, we gon’ use Meek Mill to draw this attention that’s gonna speak for many others … This type of wrongful incarceration has, unfortunately, become the calling card in urban cities throughout the U.S.”
Footage from the scene showed hundreds of fans chanting “Free Meek Mill.” Other videos featured the crowd tearing into a full rendition of the ever popular “Dreams and Nightmares” from Meek’s debut album of the same name.
Earlier in the day, footage revealed the rally had attracted visitors from out of town, with full buses decked out with a “Stand With Meek Mill” slogan seen traveling to the protest.
Meek has already checked into prison but according to TMZ, his lawyer Joe Tacopina is filing a motion to get the judge removed from the case. The attorney is also making an official complaint to the judicial conduct board.
Don’t arrest us, that’s racist. Don’t stop us when we are speeding or not abiding by traffic laws cuz that’s profiling. If we violate probation it’s not our fault it’s their (white people) fault and we shouldn’t be held accountable because racism.
says the clueless white boy.
Excellent response, keeping it predictable.
I don’t get it. Dude violated parole, came out dirty multiple times, and rappers are coming out saying it’s not fair or whatever and that they should let him out? Seriously
everybody knows that shlomos shekels are keeping meek behind bars because drake is afraid of him!
Actually, Shlomo’s shekels make sure non-whites can get away with any crime. The jevvish justice system is this way showing the white ppl that blacks can do whatever.
Nicca PLEASE! If the weak meek one is YOUR HERO you need to stop livin’ right now…and IF the FAKE Rick Ross, Officer Ricky is your IDOL, your brain is like jelly and your IQ is less than ZERO, these LAME protestin’ for the weak meek rat is LAMER than the ‘L King’ himself, whose been STUCK on doin’ dumb sh*t for years, he deserves that SENTENCE and MORE! pollutin’ the World with his negative energy and horrible content. NO ONE With a Brain is missin’ that TRASH weak meek screams about, GET A LIFE! We got REAL PROBLEMS in the World…. NOT if this perrenial criminal is doin’ time! GTFOH……
if u have nothing nice to sat stfu, period!! why y’all so mad? coz Meeks life matters n yours doesn’t? lol!!! be somebody and someone will care, otherwise it is what it is…
All hype no substance, just like his music. He deserves to do his time as an example to other mislead black men neglecting education to stay in the streets
paying people 2 come out 2 support him dude always taking losses.
Black people are dumb as dog shit.
dear Gary, if you hate people and spend time on their culture , then you dumber than them. Have you seen a xxxtacion show, it’s all white. And who’s is dumber than him and his fans. Know why Cardi B is getting all the deals with her ghetto ass?, the white man. A white man is never smarter than a black man. It’s an individual case in each situation. Hating on people with your free WiFi access. Idiot
A white man is never smarter than a black man you say? I think you need to pick up a history book my friend lol.
yea, because history books have never lied or fabricated information to its readers! Especially the ones all children look at and grow to render their adult, biased, incorrect opinions from.. like the one you just made! — little tip, remember all the knowledge that came from Africa and the whytyyyte scholars who traveled there to learn.. and claim said knowledge as their own…
History books lie a great deal. The holohoax for example, it never happened. Six million jevvs never died. Also jevvs were heavily involved in transatlantic slave trade, another fun fact we don’t get to read about from our jevv written history books.
I wouldn’t say smarter… They are less capable of feeling empathy and compassion for other human beings. Even the earth! I don’t need to look into a history book the European wrote anyway! They lie about history and your still proving you less intelligent by referring to a book full of lies anyway you just proved dudes point… They continue to kill the earth knowing it’ll kill them first, they traded there souls and spirits for a material world. Traded unity, and peace because they’re the insecure one that are incapable of living in a fair peaceful world bc they can’t exist in that envoirment. That’s why they are the cancer of the world. Cancer can’t exist in a alkaline enviorment. It can only grow in a toxic body. If love and peace is the environment we create for earth they’ll die off if it’s war torn and they’ll grow bc it’s the only enviorment they prosper in. They’ll continue to destroy the earth knowing they can’t live without it. Your really not that smart bro. But being smart isn’t everything anyway dude.
Say it to a black mans face. Not on the internet.
Rick Ross tiddies hang down to his knees!
There are some dumb suckas on this website. If you agree with “Free Meek” then you’re a waste of space. Should anybody who actually is guilty of his crimes go free just because of the “crooked” justice system and police? Did the jevvs make Meek violate all those times? Y’all blame everyone but yourself for these situations. This comment will probably be deleted.
White people are encourage to kill blacks by judges and get off Scott free. A minor crime that a black commits gets 2 years at least. It’s injustice
I hope Meek appreciates this and gets off of the “everybody is jealous of me” attitude.
