Meek Mill made his first public appearance since being released from Chester State Prison on Tuesday afternoon (April 24). According to Meek’s publicist, after stopping at the barber to get his hair cut, he was taken to the Philadelphia 76ers game at the Wells Fargo Center where the Sixers are playing the Miami Heat.
In a video shared to Twitter, Meek was all smiles as he rang the Liberty Bell to start the game.
“Give it up for Meek Mill,” the announcer says.
The Sixers ran out to the court blasting Meek’s track “Ima Boss,” a cut from his 2012 album, Don’t Panic.
The Sixers’ co-founder Michael Grubin picked Meek up from the prison and quickly posted a photo of the Wins & Losses rapper in his car.

The day has finally arrived — Meek Mill is now a free man. After the Philadelphia Supreme Court granted Meek’s bail on Tuesday (April 24), Twitter exploded with excitement for the Philly rapper who’s been incarcerated since last November.
Judge Genece Brinkley had initially ruled he’d stay in prison until his next appeal hearing but the Supreme Court threw her decision out.
In a statement to HipHopDX, Meek’s publicist said the rapper will likely be at the Philadelphia 76ers game on Tuesday night. His first stop was the barber where he got his haircut for the game.
From Funkmaster Flex, Dave East and YG to his loyal fans, hundreds of people are rooting for Meek on social media, and there’s no doubt he’s feeling the love.

They celebrating him like a Hero. Dude is a Criminal who got a “Out of Jail free Card”
You really have no idea how the criminal justice system works, do you?

Somehow the industry brings this zombie back no matter how many Ls he received. Cassidy obliterated this dude with RAID then Drizzy Drake made a hit destroying his credibility and exposing his shitty raps but they cling to this D bags sack like ticks. Why!?!?!?

Muthafuckas act like he served 20 yrs.. Foh.. Meek Mills music is fuccn Trash too.. I don’t know anyone on the West Coast listen to his shytt
Dude said Meek Fuckin Mill is this generations MLK then lil Yachty must be this generations Malcolm X if were going to type some ole bullshit. The plight is over Meek out jail so no more worries about innocent people in jail and prison unless they a celebrity.
Feature Song and s*cking each others Dick on stage, talking about that “its all love” is more likely to happen
Didn’t even know he went to jail. Don’t know what he was sentenced for. This dude is so irrelevant! Whatever yo.
Be nice to see black folk stand up for more important issues in the hood like having respect for each other and not claiming a block that the city owns just like they did for this terd in which they never met in their lives! Lets see people get petitions and rally around the other million minorites that are currently in that same situatin. Ohh wait, nevermind, those people don’t have millions and the backing of celebs.
this guy is mediocre at best… gimme an article when he releases his “first day out” song which every rapper does now.
