Shortly after Meek Mill began serving his house arrest sentence, a judge clarified the stipulation that the Philadelphia rapper could not release music during the 90-day term.
TMZ reports that Meek Mill can release music to “protect his brand” and must release it to non-revenue platforms such as Soundcloud and YouTube. The initial sentence said that he could not release music, a stipulation that he appealed.
The MMG rapper is preparing the release of Dreamchasers 4 and last week released a remix of Desiigner’s “Panda” and Drake’s “Summer Sixteen.”

Meek Mill appeals his house arrest sentence in a recent filing by his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, according to TMZ. He has been serving his time for one week.
The Philadelphia rapper says that he is seeking to have the demands that he can’t record new music or perform removed from the sentencing. He says he has a studio in his home and would like to continue making music.
Meek Mill was sentenced to 90 days house arrest last month for violating his probation. His girlfriend, Nicki Minaj, testified on his behalf.

Meek Mill was sentenced today (February 5) for violating his probation and avoids jail time, Fox 29 reports.
Meek Mill was given 90 days house arrest by Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley. Brinkley also added six more years to the Philadelphia rapper’s probation.
The 28-year-old is not allowed to work while on house arrest and can only leave his residence to do community service assisting adults, not children.
The MMG rapper was found guilty of violating probation in December because of his travels. Nicki Minaj testified in the hearing.
Meek Mill is on probation stemming from 2008 gun charges. He spent five months in jail last year for violating the probation.

Meek Mill was found guilty of violating his probation when he appeared in court this afternoon (December 17), the Associated Press reports. The rapper was found to have violated his probation because of his travels and that he gave the court water instead of urine in a required drug test.
The judge delayed the sentencing until February 5, placed travel restrictions on the rapper and told Meek Mill that he cannot perform until the next court date.

The Maybach Music Group rapper testified that his “whole life is on the line.”
Philadelphia journalist Bobby Allyn provides more quotes from Meek Mill via Twitter. In his testimony, the rapper says that his relationship with girlfriend Nicki Minaj has helped him improve his character.
“I walk around w/ Queen Nikki. Things are different now,” Allyn writes, quoting Meek Mill. “I act different. I walk different. I can be the biggest rapper in the world.”
He also discussed how Kenny Gamble, of iconic Philadelphia writing and production duo Gamble and Huff, has acted as a mentor to him. Gamble testified on Meek Mill’s behalf earlier in the day.
“I never had any men sit down with me and have conversations with these types of things,” the rapper says.

Apparently the judge a Drake fan.. But no meek you cannot be the biggest rapper in the world but nothing wrong with trying.
Damn… Honestly this is sad news… BUT… at the end of the day he knew he was on probation, he knew he had to inform his PO, and water as piss. He made his bed and now he has to lay in it… All u meek fan can say what u want to say, but its the truth. U can have the pope himself vouch for u, it doesnt mean shit… The water as piss is what really deaded him.
Hoe ass RAT ass Drake fans got this nigga cooked. I hate these new soft niggas
What does drake have to do with meek mill violating his probation and giving them water for piss u dudes kill me with this soap opera shit this is real life he should have took care of his business he is a idiot now he wants pity no u reap what u sow an god help those who help themselves its his own fault
That being hard shit gets your freedom revoked
CORRECTION: HE got himself cooked! I just served the dish.
Yo shut up. I hate these Drake stans stilling hyping up this beef bruh. I mean, I wasn’t on Meek or Drake’s side, but y’all gunning on Meek for no reason. Niggas just mad that he said sh*t about their favorite “rapper”. Meek is still harder than Drake, and Drake is still more successful than Meek, let’s just leave it at that.
Fuck these bought & corrupted courts*I’m not sticking up for meek*he fucked up*it happens*I can see travel restrictions but you’re going to take the guys livelihood away & say he can’t perform his job*Bullshit*then just sentence the mfr*…hate tht shit when I’ve been @ court & it’s said all rise for the honorable blank*LoutL*I’ll slowly lift my ass up or not at all*long live the 80s & 90s*
Nigga, stfu…. You ain’t never stayed seated when that bailiff said all rise, unless you were in court for Jay walking! Fucking posers, smh
I try this once an officer pull me up real quick forcing me to get my ass up or else
Were u there ho niggah*nope*so stfu*
Save me with the ‘Free Meek’ BS! Don’t EVEN wanna hear it!
He DID the CRIME & has to DO the TIME! His f*ck ups shouldn’t be celebrated, or his ‘return’…… there is NOTHING
great about being a wack rapper, a cheat in doing his test, a royal f*ck up & being pimped by a C.O. stealing someone’s identity without acknowledged them! f*ck him!
Shut your bitch ass up. I can tell u bitch made just by this comment.
I agree
What a dumb dumb. He needs to grow the fuck up. Nikki gonna leave his ass for an adult.
Why hire a lawyer or put on a defense to the probation violation? There is no credible defense to providing water as a urine sample. Unless you’re pleading insanity. Say something like, [Meek Voice] “Once I dipped my toe in Nikki’s lake, dry land was never the same again.” “I was drinking Aqua hydrate from a plastic cup to get my urine volume up, gave the officer the wrong cup. He got the water, I wound up drinking my own piss.” Or just say, “Hello Judge, my rapper name is Meek Mill and I gave water as a urine sample because I have an affinity for COLLECTING L’s”
Poor Meek. This stems from a total lack of guidance and/or control. This dudes only hits are with Drake and Biggie. Yep, if you didn’t know, the Nicki Minaj joint is a stolen flow. smh… Change the name to “All L’s On Me”
Ima boss which is his biggsest hit featured neither of those two… Its ok keep reaching.
yall want me to have sympathy for meek mill? really? didnt this guy make a million on his girls tour? Im supposed to feel sympathy bragging millionaires now? and then, he disses Drake sayin he baby lotion soft and dancing like a dork and this guy is crying in court saying he aint a gangster? But just a month a go this dude was bragging about how he was a gangster and couldnt bust Drake’s corny dance moves. 2pac didnt do this. Biggie wouldnt do this. Drake wouldnt even do this. Meek Mill needs to get real. Dude is a Milli Vanilli wanna-be drug lord. embarassing-ass fool. Type dude would snitch immediately to save his ass. Is this not obvious or what? Nicki gotta be smarter than this
Drake wouldnt do this? DO us a all a favor aand dont comment anymore because its clear you’re speaking from a dickriding point of view.
Your vag must be sore from that dickriding. I have one question for you…. Who exactly are you to think that niggas actually care if YOU of all people feel sympathy??? Real talk you just a nigga on a keyboard, nothing more and nothing less. In the end you aint that important so kill that noise.
Modern day slave. When you are a grown man but someone tells you, “you cant leave and you can’t do what you love” that’s crazy.
Wow, how ignorant are you? I’m not a modern day slave. And you know why? I follow the rules. He did this to himself.
Change ya name bruh*false truth is better suited*we’re all modern day slaves*NWO plans to kill off 90% of the populace*check out the Georgia guide stone*check out bush sr nwo speech*(They) let us think we’re free*easier to control some 300 million plus people*while our rights are slowly being eroded now that is the truth*
Poor monkey back in the cage u go bum as shine ! Once his sentencing comes so long weak mill Drake and Weezy bout to run that minaj on Nikki then Drake and Nikki going back to back on a world tour while u bending over in the bink u dumb dumb cold water for a fucking urine test mokey is suppose to be smart but u are just plain dirty ole ass shine.
Calm down old man you’ll give yourself a hernia . lol old ass dinosaurs thinking the youth care what your old ass has to say
It has nothing to do with Drake fans… He fucked up… I swear if he raped a child you bitches would be like “it was not his fault, he tripped into her” … please stop. U guys sound like a bunch of high school dropouts, who thought sitting on the corner was the boss life. Do you realize how stupid you sound. Get an education, read a novel, go back to school, apply to university.
This nigga done picked out all the L’s from his alphabet cereal bowl….
tried to tell y’all, those that cross drizzy do not prosper…….
U sound like a broken record oh wait of course…. Idiot 50 cent is the best ever!!!!!
Nicki minaj back on the market jack!
Damn all the internet thugs are on HHDX lol. All i see are a bunch of comments from people who are probably too light in the ass to even face a judge. Keyboard gangsters.
Nigga im the real droopy. Dont steal my name.
Blah blah blah..eat a dick..& btw 50 Cent is the best ever!!!
No doubt you have to be humble when you get in front of a judge (unless you like jail??). However this negro couldn’t stop smoking for awhile? Now he’s possibly going back in and catching another L…
thats fucked up isnt he died
I bet the judge is white. Always throwing black people in prison. Meed didn’t even do anything wrong.
Spot on Boss!
100% correct, except for the fact that you are lumping all black people together, if that was the case all you white ppl would be racist, or trying to steal our music, which is not the case. You had me until that point, after that you joined the group of ignorant fucks.
Generally the expectation when you are given probation and a set of rules accompanying the probation, known as terms, is that you don’t break the law or any of the terms. If he was told not to leave a certain jurisdiction, but did, then yes he did do something wrong. If he tried to fool the drug testers by giving them water, he did something wrong. I can’t say if the accusations are true or not, but he appears to have been found guilty of them. Your assertion that the judge drew his conclusion with no motivation other than the opportunity to incarcerate a minority is absurd and basically only an incredibly narrow minded and naive individual would buy into that nonsense. In laymans terms, you are stupid. And black people need to quit bitching that they go to jail after they commit crimes. Don’t commit crimes.
Messing with them OVO boys is career suicide. Drizzy, P Reign, PND, 40, Boi-1Da, T, Hush, Chubbs, Woods….the 6ix side don’t play. Real niggas up in the 6ix. OVO over everything!
Lol nigga ain’t no real niggas in Canada. Relax
This guy get’s it thanks OVO Crew
Shut up white boy
Idiot 50 Cent is the ever!!
U relax idiot… Justin beiber is the toughest gangster ever & btw 50 Cent is the best ever!!
Yo black boi don’t characterize this fools statement as white bc he jus a boozo homo penis rider

This dumb fool thinkin cuz he walkin around nikkis ass he a better rapper? Bruhhh. L to this clown and L to nikki for co-signin kermit
Speak english
Ok I’m sorry here…. FUCK YOU & brew 50 cent is the ever!!!
Dese Haters who prob don’t know anyone who’s ever committed a crime. Probation longer than 2 years is a trap. His crime was committed 8 years ago! Of course he’s tellin the judge he’s not a gangster. What’s he supposed to say hater? Drake is for the ladies. Most of us like ladies so we listen to drake. That’s as far as it goes for me. You other stans can’t wait for the next fad so you can expertly dickride. You celebrating meek go into jail cuz you area drake fan? Loser shit.
This is the Internet sir. Are you new to these parts?
Blah blah blah blah blah shit the fuck 50 cent destroyed my career becuz he’s the best ever!!!
wait why cant he perform he has to earn a living if you wont let him travel fine but you cant prevent him from performing in the town he lives in. setting him up
Shut the fuck up Nicki is gonna pay me for eating her pussy… & one more thing 50 cent is the best ever!!!
@Stan are you slow? Wtf he did do something, so stop bringing up race
Who cares… Next story please
GO DIE FOOL
He’s right nobody cares about me 🙁 🙁 I’m going to kill myself after I lick Nikki’s pussy…& btw 50 Cent is the best!!!
real talk Meek is really being put as an example, feel like these big wig corporations that Drake associates with got something to do with this
watch what you speaking of clown, i’m gonna find where you live and come to your front porch.
God bless you bruh, keep ya head UP!
good hip hop needs a break from nonsense
He is done, I am guessing he will get 18 months. Otherwise, why delay the sentencing!
ohhhh now he not a gangsta now?!! I coulda sworn he was on that 1051 stage talkin bout we wont get him to dance around on stage cause he a muthafukin gangsta…. Back to Back about to win that Grammy the same month that NOT ONLY is the all star weekend gonna be in Toronto, but now also the same month that meek gon get sentenced…. AND its a leap year so feb got an extra day lol I really really hope drake don’t do it to him again on black history month. Meek is doing enough to hurt himself at this point.
All this is telling me is he’s weak minded like the rest of.these clowns. Cant stop popping vicodine and opiates? Cant stop smoking? WEAK!
six more years probation !!!! Damn !!!
50 Cent is the best!!!
God tell them to let a nigga breathe, damn.
50 Cent is the best!!!
Hi I’m k…..U idiot….oh yea 50 Cent is the best
6 yrs probation is rough, and not being able to work is a set back but he will just record and record tunes and flood the scene when that is up. he knew his conditions so I do not feel bad for him one bit, plus he is rich, and has nikki to hold him down on the money front. such is life, but 6 yrs probation…daaaamn. but seeing as he isnt a gangster anymore he should be alright.
Say what you will about Meek and his L’s but at least his fan base aintt snitching on others. If you support Drake then you in that same boat with those snitches.
Droopy – you lost. Meek would snitch on anyone. Its obvious he is a grade A pu$$y and a hater. Dude, just said he was not a gangsta and 2 months before that on stage, he said he is. Plus his boss was a probation officer. Man oh man, u lost defending this phony
1) i aint lose shit. Im not the one on probation or going to jail lol
2)if you were on trial for murder, would you tell the judge youre a killer or try and duck doing time(without snitching)? Same concept.
3) i know who rick ross is and what he used to do. Last time i checked we talking about meek.
Keep reaching for an excuse.
But all Dr Dre’s album where classic and better than all album that comes out of Maybach music group
Meek has just put out a no.1 album and his boss had 5 albums reach the top. Dr dre still doesn’t have a no.1 album after all these years.
Ya but Dr Dre sold more copies on his first 2 albums then all of MMG combined. Also when Dre dropped his first 2 albums there was way more competition his last one was only dropped on Apple which makes it a lot more difficult so sell but it still did well. Going number 1 doesn’t mean the same as it used to I’d much rather go platinum off of physical/digital copies soldthen go number 1 any day
thts cool*I’m not wishing jail time on anyone(drake stans)unless they deserve it*but if it was u or me*we would be in the bing*btw*we need a new name for die hard drake supporters*stans wont suffice*because calling a rappers po is a new all time low*smfh*
You sir are a fuckin moron and you should be cut of welfare fuckin homo
actually you’re an idiotic imbecile fucktard*why should I be cut off imbred*elaborate next time*….no IQ*I feel sorry for your mother*LoutL*did i hurt some drake dick slurping fanatic*foh flea*
Judge Brinkley’s address is 5010 Penn St, in Philadelphia. That is all.
Why do ppl even care bout this fuckin boozo and besides we all know he molested his niece and that blind retarded girl um I mean nikki
So Why Do You Care to take time out of your day to comment on said bozo*……my fault*You don’t have a life*nibbling drakes dick is all u kno*LoutL*foh inbred flea*
6 more years goddam. i’d rather go back to jail for 6 more months
Cosign… been there, done that and got caught up with the added years of probation
I don’t like
Stupid nigga busy with dissing 50 2 get publicity n forgetting abt his probation rules
Watch him FAIL that again! just like he failed this time. He’s too weak to quit smokin and drinking. Weak weak Weak
Nigga you cant even stand in front of a judge lol
Meek Mill is scared of COUNTY JAIL! FOH little nigga

Damn meek u taking L’s from everybody
meek mill is a real loser.n.minaj should be ASHAMMED.
wait a minute – this dude is petitioning the court about three months of house arrest – and he’s supposed to be gangsta?????!!!!!
he really is MEEK!!!!!
nigga crying about 3 months HOUSE ARREST?????……………………nigga u a fuckin bitch. Plus u diddnt even do any REAL time, segregated in jail u pussy azz.
he should just be happy they didnt lock him up. enjoy his time away from the spotlight to let people forget about the nonstop L’s he been taking since summer.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people go out of their way to hate on someone. Deep down you must love this guy. You take the time out of your day to post all over these different social media sites to put someone you don’t even know down. I’m a fan of Meek’s music, and honestly I don’t care about his personal business. I can’t understand why some of you take this shit so seriously though. These guys are entertainers. Unless you are related, why do you even care??
Um . . . we can tell that you’re a fan lol that’ll be all shithead lmfao
Your favorite rapper is either Drake or 50 I’m assuming lol
he should be allowed to record music, if he aint leaving the house why should someone care bout that
he’s a total shithead but I agree. still ain’t listening to any of his bs music though lol
Hahaha his career over since this last summer a lil track called Back to Back which we all still knock ! Begging the judge should been locked up . When weak mill at home 6 God be wit Nikki she ain’t waiting for house arrest boi. Views up next !
Not vouchin for zeek or anything but gtfoh. Drake is wack af to. Get wheelchair jimmys dink outta ur mouth
“He makes shitty music . . .but he defeated drake with that War Pain”.. defeated Drake? So Drake can’t come back? It took Meek 10 months to make a decent comeback and the only way he was able to do so from getting info from Drakes camp about what he was going to say on Summer Sixteen. Basically had to cheat to get his only win in the last year. You can’t defeat someone with Omelly on ya track.
Thank gosh.. This bitch ass nigga
This meek has been crying for the judge ‘I’m not a gangster judge’ boo hoo – say give him 30 years to sit down & think about how his & Officer Ricky’s wack garbage has been killing Hip Hop!
He makes shitty music . . .but he defeated drake with that War Pain
Fuck you guys wit ur silly comments…….. Most of you can’t write well,your words are just garbage,no meaning in it. At fools forever ……. Street touts no vision,lack of ambition .meek mill is real and you guys are just broke as fuck you all. I wish I have a gun I wud have murder you nigga for hatin some one that is not perfect as you.
Dude just write write write and write! U dont have to record till its over in 90 days. Itll be mid june early july and u can record ahit own the summer. U stupid fuck.
Meek your career is online . It’s time for Drake to fuck nick ha ha ha
no one was gonna buy that shit anyway all his songs sound the same,
Drake knows better…he got beat.Don’t underestimate Meek when he just jestin’ cuz when he get down to it with that ‘urgency’ in his delivery, that culture vulture Drake ain’t no match at all! What hood does this Drake ride for? there ain’t no 6th Side in the Bronx,Philly,or Cali…and u is brothers in the US hatin’ on one of your own,choosin’ a Canadian instead? Y’all is Iscariots… Jackson is ya boi,off the streets of America, sufferin’ things only a brother in America would relate too…taught off your streets to use wiles,treachery and even murder to defend his freedom…he a brother chasing ends like all the unfortunate ones carrying heavy burdens on their shoulders everyday.Embrace Meek,he one of your own…let the cats in Quebec hug their Drake!
You stupid
Drake got beat? On what planet? Meek will never be the same.. only thing keeping him above water is Nicki. How is Drake a culture vulture,
still talkin album sales in 16?? boi u sound lame af…its a reason why soulja boy has more money than nas…but u wouldnt understand de lol
Meek Mill is a snitch. Snitched on Safaree and he snitched on Drake. Jealousy is a bitch.
The music stipulation is dumb and unfair. what does him making and releasing music, which is how he earns a living, has to do with his crime? nothing.
My thoughts exactly.
what kind of bull is that, where he can’t release music?!? what’s wrong with this system? Im no meek fan but the system is harsh on young brothers…black people in general. smh
Meeeeeeeeeka is a LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Nothing surprising, another day another L.
can’t wait for this generation of rappers to end.
