Meek Mill has famously had his own negative experiences with the criminal justice system and took to Instagram to stand with his friends who are embroiled in a similar struggle.
Meek took to IG on Friday (May 13) to offer his thoughts on Young Thug and Gunna’s recent indictment on RICO charges and prayed that the district attorney will be fair to them in their case.
“Thug put on many families I seen with my own eyes,” Meek wrote. “Stand up for them in these times not the lit ones! Labels, women, n-ggas… I pray that DA be fair to them knowing what we out here tryna survive. Thug and Gunna ain’t no crime bosses, they successful rappers with influence that didn’t leave their environment behind… If you bring your environment with you it’s basically RICO. Watch yourself out here.”
The Philly rapper’s plea is just the latest in a flurry of responses that have come from some of Hip Hop’s biggest acts ever since the Young Slime Life (YSL) pair were arrested in Atlanta earlier this week. Metro Boomin most recently took to Twitter on Wednesday (May 12) to condemn the federal government for trying to paint YSL as a criminal enterprise.
“YSL is not a gang and never been a gang fool,” the famed producer wrote on Twitter. “YSL is a registered LLC and has provided countless jobs and opportunities for underprivileged black people and really just all people cause that’s how big Thug heart is.”
“I’ve seen first handed thousands of black people and their families lives changed for the better over the past 10 years now #they are trying to cut the head off the snake because #they see how much bigger it gets every year.
“They get terrified every time an iconic black leader emerges with so much influence, respect, power, and appeal so they throw some bullshit charges together to lock him up and slow the movement down. Look at American history it’s been a pattern for 100+ years.”

Metro ended his speech by calling out trolls who supported his friend’s arrests from behind their keyboards, accusing them of being “worse than the DA.”
“These brothers need love, support, and prayer right now not jokes, criticism, or opinions,” he concluded.
Young Thug and Gunna are currently behind bars at Fulton County Jail and will stay there for the time being since both rappers were denied bond on Wednesday (May 11). During a video appearance in front of Judge Robert Wolf, the judge deemed the Thugga a flight risk after Assistant District Attorney Damian Smith argued he posed “a clear risk of hindering the administration of justice given that we have not apprehended everyone on the larger indictment.”
Nobody cares what squeeky meek thinks anyways.
rightttt meek. the multi millionaire who grow up in the hood and who could fund a gang is in no position to be a crime boss
STFU You Grade-A Hater. Your Former President Drump Is A Crime Boss. Not Thug Or Gunna, Factz.
He’s too busy getting pumped from behind by the Former Commander In Queefy to comprehend what RICO is besides the name of the guy that smashing his mom and does the yard work.
Doing good for your community doesn’t earn you a “get away with murder free” card. Lolsmh.
So? They still pillowbiters, so they deserve to be executed for sodomy.
Young thug and gunna have a few really good songs, more gunna than thug. If they got indicted is cause they most likely did something really bad. I hate when ppl try to make it about color. Just chalk it up to, he messed up somewhere down the line…Enough with the white man not wanting the black man to succeed stuff, cause that line is old
But according to the small hats black man can do no wrong. Small hats have weaponized blacks against whitey. Too bad black people are too simple minded to see they are pawns in the small hats sick agenda to genocide white race. Also just so you know i’m not black white or a small hat. I’m actually asian. So go ahead and call me all kinds of racist names and prove that it is you who are the racist. I’m just an asian guy who learned the truth about the small hats and their plan to replace white people.
Nah not pullin the race card…although you tried to attack me by attacking yourself =P. Cool conspiracy theory tho
General cho a gaslighter! lmfao
Good songs…No they don’t.
where is the evidence.
What kills me is these rappers defending Thug & Gunna are not with them 24/7 and have no clue who these people are outside of who they present themselves to be.. RICO ain’t no joke and it’s not to be taken lightly.
Weak Meek = Squeak Squeak
