Meek Mill‘s troubled past has finally been put behind him, as the Philadelphia native revealed that his felony record has finally, and formally, been expunged.
The Philly rapper and Rick Ross stopped by The Morning Hustle this week to promote their upcoming joint album, Too Good To Be True, and during the chat — which is set to air on Friday (October 27) — Rozay filmed his longtime collaborator while he discussed his criminal record.
“My record was still showing up as if I was a felon, if I tried to do anything, like normal,” he revealed. “And the system — it took a few months to go by, but I got the letter yesterday telling me that my record is officially clean.”
Rick Ross can be seen smiling, while adding: “You already know! That boy Meek Mill record clear!”
Check out the celebratory video below:
The news comes after Meek Mill officially received a pardon from the governor of Pennsylvania back in January.
The Philadelphia rapper took to Instagram at the time to share a certificate signed by Governor Tom Wolf, outlining his prior convictions and the decision for him to be relieved of the legal consequences resulting from them.
“The Board of Pardons, after full hearing, upon due public notice, and in open session, have recommended to me, in writing, with the reason therefor, the pardon of the said Robert R. Williams which recommendation and reasons have been filed in the office of the Lieutenant Governor,” the certificate reads.
“Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State, at the City of Harrisburg, this 12th day of January in the year of our Lord 2023. By the governor, Tom Wolf.”
Meek Mill wrote in the caption: “Thankyall. I’m only gone do more for my community on god! #newlevelsunlocked.”
Meek Mill was one of 369 recipients of a pardon from Governor Wolf at the beginning of the year, bringing his total number of pardons issued to 2,540 since being sworn into office in 2015.
“I have taken this process very seriously — reviewing and giving careful thought to each and every one of these 2,540 pardons and the lives they will impact,” the governor said in a statement. “Every single one of the Pennsylvanians who made it through the process truly deserves their second chance, and it’s been my honor to grant it.”
He continued: “A record prevents positive forward motion in a person’s life, and can spark a repetitive cycle of defeat. I firmly believe that with restored rights, pardoned Pennsylvanians prove themselves by stepping up and giving back to our communities.”
thank you pappa carter
He didn’t even have a real gangster criminal record. His charges are from being a delinquent and constantly breaking probation. Rick Ross studied criminal justice at university when Meek was in 3rd grade.
Honestly facts never thought it was about anything other than the simple genre of hip hop music . However I could sense there was more personal aspect but not sure how I entered this quotient. I know for facts no one where I was at would bother to look outside their block so the music couldn’t be related to these thoughts. Yes the old E about me and the obvious spy cam brought me to this false place, and I guess that the ride looking for but Not sure how it’s even possible to say when I was wit some other person the whole time until start lickin b at me.
Speak my truth maintain my stance it’s a simple genre of music not directed towards anyone don’t appreciate the spot light nor the false narratives. I’m nothing in Hollywood or not a boss nor do I know any of these people.
Please stop reflecting off me thx
