Days after rapper Meek Mill kicked off a social media family feud with his fellow label-mate Wale, he was hit with some rough news in the courtroom that even his big ego couldn't fix.
On July 11, Meek Mill was ordered by a Philadelphia judge to three to six months in jail after violating his parole as a result of a drug and gun conviction back in 2008. The cause behind all this still seems to be unclear but the local DA states that he was "worried about his behavior while on probation."
The rising rapper's dreams have quickly turned into nightmares. This ordeal comes as a shock as he just recently announced the September 9 release date for his sophomore album titled Dreams Worth More Than Money.
But not to worry because Maybach Music Group head honcho, Rick Ross, has got it all under control. The rapper released a written statement to MTV on July 12 in regards to Meek Mill's legal troubles, and how MMG will continue Meek's mission as planned.
"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."
As a result of the sentence, Meek Mill's upcoming shows and projects have been cancelled/postponed. As far as the album, Rick Ross tells MTV that it is still coming and asks fans to continue showing Meek Mill love and support.
"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"
Hey readers! Do you think Meek Mill should have kept a lower profile in the industry while on probation? Why or why not?
