Days After Twitter Rant, Meek Mill Sentenced to Jail Time





It looks at though rapper Meek Mill aka Robert Williams will have time to reflect on his twitter rants against fellow label mate Wale and other transgressions due to being locked up.

Days ago, the rapper appeared with his attorney Gary Silver before Common Pleas Judge Genece E. Brinkley, appealing for the rapper to stay free. With a hearing that lasted four hours, the judge was not having it, citing that the rapper had made  difficult to remain in touch with him. Apparently, he had changed his number without giving his probation officer a proper contact, and was allegedly taunting the case prosecutor on twitter, calling him a racist. (Because he likes to rant on twitter?)  He also was scheduling shows and appearances without clearing it with the court first, which was viewed as a direct violation, so bam, he was landed with a jail sentence for three to six months.

Before being taken into custody the judge stated:

Of all the people that have come before me, I knew you had the talent to be as successful as Jay Z but not only have you let me down, you have let your fans down.”

The head of MMG, Rick Ross, released an official statement to MTV:

“I created MMG years ago, my desire was to create a space where the most talented artists in the world could be nurtured and supported. With that came a commitment. I vowed to support these artist, through the good and the bad. Every individual signed to MMG is not just an artist, they are my family. And with family you ride, or you die. Yesterday, my brother, Meek Mill ran into some unfortunate legal issues. It happens. However, his team, our team, will continue to execute Meek’s plan as close to schedule as possible. His album is coming. We ask that the fans and the media continue to support him and his music during this time. He’ll be home soon. ‘Dreams Are Worth More Than Money,’ and family is worth more than Everything. MMG FOR LIFE.”
