Let Freedom Ring

From Free Meek to Meek Free! Today, the Philadelphia Supreme Court finally ordered Meek Mill to be released after serving over 5 months in jail. Although out on bail, the rapper’s criminal case still continues. Following his release, Meek Mill was choppered to the Wells Fargo Center along Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Grubin, where he met with the team. After ringing the Liberty Bell at center court, he watched the 76ers advance to the next round of the playoffs following their 104-91 win over the Miami Heat.

Last November, Meek was detained for probation violation and was a facing harsh 2-4 year sentence. Since then, he has been denied bail numerous times, which spawned numerous protests calling for criminal justice reform due to his unjustly incarceration. Welcome back, Meek.

I’d like to thank God, my family, my friends, my attorneys, my team at Roc Nation including Jay Z, Desiree Perez, my good friend Michael Rubin, my fans, The Pennsylvania Supreme Court and all my public advocates for their love, support and encouragement during this difficult time. While the past five months have been a nightmare, the prayers, visits, calls, letters and rallies have helped me stay positive. To the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office, I’m grateful for your commitment to justice – not only for my case, but for others that have been wrongfully jailed due to police misconduct. Although I’m blessed to have the resources to fight this unjust situation, I understand that many people of color across the country don’t have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues. In the meantime, I plan to work closely with my legal team to overturn this unwarranted conviction and look forward to reuniting with my family and resuming my music career.
