Meek Mill Is Finally Being Released From Prison

Meek Mill is a complimentary man. Today (April 24), the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a group for a lower court to grant unsecured bail to the Philadelphia rapper, according to Fox 29 Philly. Mill immediately took to social media to thank each person who fought for his freedom.


"I’d like to thank God, my family member, and all my public advocates for their love, support and encouragement throughout this complicated time," Meek wrote. "While the past five months have been a nightmare, the prayers, visits, calls, letters and rallies have helped me stay positive."


The Dreams & Nightmares rapper also thanked the Philadelphia District Attorney and said using his platform to combat the injustices people of color face at the hands of mass incarceration.


"To the Philly District Attorney’s office, I’m grateful for your commitment to justice," Mill continued. "I understand that several people of color across the nation don’t have that luxury and I will use my platform to shine a light on those issues. In the meantime, I will work closely with my legal team to overturn this unwarranted conviction and look forward to reuniting with my family member and resuming my music career."


In a March interview with Rolling Stone, the Wins & Losses artist described the significance of fighting against a judicial system that unfairly targets people of color.


"There's brothers locked down that did nothing to be here nevertheless piss off people like [Judge] Brinkley," Meek mentioned. "I wish to speak on this system and what it does to black people – on both fucking sides of the fence."
