Meek Mill expresses his support for Troy Ave.
Although Brooklyn lyricist Troy Ave has garnered criticism from some in the Hip Hop community, following a backstage shooting that left one person dead, one rapper recently showed his support for the currently-incarcerated artist.
In an Instagram post he uploaded yesterday (May 30), Meek Mill posted a photo of Troy in a wheelchair, and added a lengthy caption about cops and “crab in the barrel dudes.”
“The laws they made ain’t designed to protect us!,'” Meek Mill wrote. “‘They like get killed or get a 100 years’ Don’t let the press ‘gas’ you to go against ya own people! Because if that was a cop Tryna protect his life the police force gone stand behind them 100% ‘Pic look crazy’ #freetroy & never let these ‘bum ass nobody ‘sucka’ crab in the barrel dudes pull you down! Most of the time it’s all for attention…. that’s all these bustas be wanting forreal!”
Troy Ave is currently being held without bail until his trial, which has already been pushed back due to his injuries.
According to reports, the New York City rapper’s lawyer, Scott E. Leemon claimed that Troy is “the real victim” in the Irving Plaza shooting fallout.
“He’s the real victim here,” Leemon said. “McPhatter died a hero trying to protect Mr. Collins. He was not shot by Mr. Collins.”
Troy Ave was one of several involved in a backstage shootout, which took place earlier this month at a concert at Irving Plaza in New York City.

Nigga NYPD dirty, the whole world know that, but you sounding stupid too, as stupid and Troy Ave by shooting up a club, if niggas don’t know by now that the laws are design to kill a nigga or have you behind bars for 100 years, them you’ll are just plain stupid dumb ass, how about niggas start too think instead of just reacting and making it real easy for them.
meek GTFOH
troy shot himself to become a real gangsta just to boast on songs that he was involved in the shooting and got shot
some one need to refresh my mind i know i smoke a lot but the nigga is on video shooting…so what is meek talkin bout…
damn…now Troy Ave also probably just lost half his fans cuz no one wants to be associated with Meek Mill.
Half of his fans will be in their 40s like you by the time Troy Ave gets out .lmao
Did taxstone really do that or is that bs??
free troy and lock up meek
In general, this is the problem with our community. Beyond the silly “No Snitchin”. We look stupid saying “FREE…” when they have committed horrendous acts of violence. Just because it’s a famous rapper, actor, entertainers, etc. we can’t just say “FREE…” and not remember the victims and their families.
In general, this is the problem with our online community. Beyond the silly “I’m safe behind a computer, and I have friends who I would leave dead before I snap and retaliate with no regard”…. Not knowing the comment person like Malik committed a horrendous act of actually being someone’s friend and he is a punk who would run at the site of funk. Because Malik is on the Internet, everyone is guilty until proven innocent because if he is innocent then the whole story is irrelevant.
There’s video of him shooting a gun in a crowded club… What do you mean IF he’s innocent?
I ain’t saying he innocent or guilty I’m saying let the jury and judge then let’s talk….. Just cuz you, yes I’m talking you, will not be serving as a juror nor will you preside the case as a judge. So why you on here with an opinion and not at soccer practice
You’re here with an opinion as well. You’re a typing contradiction.
Call me what you want… Just go back to soccer practice….
Ok. You mention things like spending time with sports like it’s a bad thing to do compared to shooting up clubs and gang banging. You’re brain is fried.
Now all what I wrote is assumption. An attempt to disrespect you & the OG who sent you & the block you come from. If none of what I say applies then obviously you grew up in an environment much more privileged and you don’t qualify to speak on Brooklyn Street stuff. Heed why I mentioned soccer practice. I could have said watching Jeopardy with Grandma.
But if I’m mistaken, I’ll eat that. But I must ask you: what would you do if you saw your friend dying and the person who shot him is wrestling you with the gun off safety?
Get real… the guy was on video shooting his gun in a club. He only deserves jail.. Time to grow up meek and realise if ur going to put out negative energy you got expect it to come back around. Meek needs to keep his mouth shut and just make music. To even think troy doesn’t deserve this makes u see how immature meek really is.. If his GF was shot or a friend was hit in that club he’d be saying something different then.. This guy needs a reality check!
Fuck Meek Mill. This dude is an idiot. Troy Ave is an idiot as well and is sitting where he belongs. If you are on film, shooting people, and you get locked up, fuck freeing you. Hope you get earth slammed in court.
True but he lost his friend, the sight of that will fuck you up & he responded in a stupid yet human way. Still it was stupid to fire a gun on camera when he should’ve chased them down in the street.
BASED GOD CURSE all over the place
I’ll smash you and Lil biach. Purple shirt wearing f@g
I’ll smash you and Lil biach. Purple shirt wearing f@g
free Troy Ave
Remember Shyne? Club full of people + firing a gun = TIME!!!! Doesn’t matter why he was shooting.
Thank you. Been wondering how long it’d take for somebody else to say this. And Shyne was a better rapper than Troy Ave could hope to be.

Not a fan of Troy, but wished he ran down on the dude he was shooting at, its the heat of the moment & he wasn’t thinking right but damn bro, chase the nigga! You have a projectile-firing weapon, it does long range lol. Still sad to see him lose a friend & take a loss. Meek is right, if it was the boys it would’ve been cool because their immunity to the law.
They need to lock Afreaka Bambuutaa!!! He’s still free and preying on kids.
Brooklyn lyricist? Thats a stretch. I think u meant brooklyn rapper
Wow, Meek is an even bigger dumbass than Troy. Wtf is he talking about? Like Troy shouldnt get charges for pulling such a moronic move? Listen to yourself, you fucking brain dead clown. Meek AND Troy stay taking L`s.
free all my nikkas mayne
Rappers are so fuckin stupid.
Lol dude was involved in a public shooting. And his gun went off. Fuck all these #freeidiots. Fuck meek for being a idiot too, and you know what…fuck Murs too. Just cause troy raps doesn’t mean he should go free. Plus dudes 30 and this is so far above him. Maybe jail will knock his head straight. #keeptroyjaileduntilheactsgrown
” never let these ‘bum ass nobody ‘sucka’ crab in the barrel dudes pull you down! Most of the time it’s all for attention”… wait a minute? aint that what crab ass meek did to Drake after he gave him hit records and verses for both his albums? such a fucking clown.
