It looks like rapper Meek Mill will serve out his full sentence behind bars after Judge Genece Brinkley once again denied his request for bail. Meek’s chances for release on bail seemed high after evidence surfaced that his arresting officer in 2007 was suspected of corruption.
According to TMZ, Officer Reginald Graham, who arrested Meek on drugs and weapons charges in 2007, is among former cops the D.A. placed on a “Do not call” list, warning prosecutors not to call them for testimony due to allegations of misconduct in previous cases.
Last month, Meek’s attorney Joe Tacopina said “The release of the so-called ‘Do Not Testify’ list supports everything in the motions filed by Mill and others wrongfully arrested by Officer Graham for post-conviction relief.”
Meek’s attorney spoke to TMZ after Monday’s ruling: “This ruling from Judge Genece Brinkley simply reaffirms the fact she has turned Meek Mill’s case into a personal vendetta.”
Tacopina continued: “In spite of the recommendations from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, which was supported by Governor Tom Wolf, the judge continues to stand alone in supporting Officer Reginald Graham’s perjured testimony as well as his criminal behavior that has been documented.”
Mill and Tacopina plan to appeal the ruling to the Pennsylvania’s highest court, which could take years.

So ALL rappers do some type jail time like this?? Is this a ritual?
Drake and Niki set Meek up good. Cause this whole story is some bullshyt.
Crooked judge, crooked cops, crooked court officials and he still can’t get bail. Somebody really really hates Meek.
ooooR he keeps doing the wrong thing, maybe.
Did he murder someone?
Not one ounce of sympathy over here. Stop doing stupid shit over and over again…that crap adds up!
You put a person a probation for 10 YEARS and expect for them not to slip up is crazy. Its set-up from the stat.
WOP
Meek heard that Beyonce shout him out and got a boost only to have it shot down , po’ thing ! I see it both ways . He was doing dumb things from what I’ve read and no I’ve never researched the case but this is too harsh but then if not this when will he stop so ; idk
I mean I aint been arrested or “slipped up” in 27 years its not that hard.
smh.
It didn’t start out as 10 yrs. He kept messing up and getting probation instead of jail until it was up the 10 yrs. You slip up once fine but over and over again then you just a dummy.
Say that again.
Do ya time Meek….only an idiot would ride a dirt bike down a NY street like they are above the law….WHILE ON PROBATION
Its a right of passage to do stupid things while being watched by the police and having a large bank account
I can never look at him the same after someone did a side-by-side of him and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Nice photo choice, Sandy. He looks much less remedial here. #practicingkindness
The law is set up for recidivism and long probation is one of the catch alls. Many people who get in trouble live around and have family and friends who can get you caught up via association for example you can’t be around another felon, there are families with multiple felons. You riding in a car unaware that one of the 5 people in the car is carrying (which most young people smoke weed and or more) they get pulled over, boom 1 of 5 is a felon and no one claims weed.. you going down. There are so many little catches in probation that basically you have to just about live in the house if you live in the hood to not fail.
I guess I’m just going to never be on the side of the system with stuff like this. Especially since the system is one sided. I’m no fan of Meek’s music. But I hate to see a brother locked up for some bullshyt.
Free Meek
Sooooo gun charges are bs, when 99% of men under 35 are being killed in my city by gun violence, and drugs….ummm kay
“…who arrested Meek on drugs and weapons ”
——
There you go. Stay away from illegal drugs, and dont carry illegal weapons and you probably won’t have to worry about this stuff.
Thank you.
Too often, “we” act like illegal guns are not such a big deal… until one of our loved ones gets killed by one.
He had probation for 5 years and blew it. He is now into year 9. He needs to stay locked up until he figures it out. Good job, judge
He was in possession of an illegal gun and cocaine.
Illegal guns kill. That’s why people go to jail for illegal guns. The system shouldnt have to wait till you kill somebody before they lock you up.
The Judge said what she said!!
Three hots and a cot. He may as well get comfortable and stopping whining. Bro violated his probation many times before they finally pulled the rug.
It’s unfortunate that judges like this aren’t the ones who let out violent offenders who sexually assault children, rape women, throw women off of a cliff, and is charged with assault instead of attempted murder or can kidnap a women and keep her tied-up underneath his bed for almost a decade, and get out again!
Gun charges are serious, yes, it was stupid to ride the dirt bike in the middle of the Big Apple, but we do live in a tale of two cities, disparity in laws being enforced, and sentencing is often harsh!
Jim Crow is alive and well, and we all participate when we make mistakes or have the power to alter someone’s life, unfairly based on facts, but we all know the truth…
[A white entertainer would not be being facing these same circumstances, like Justin Bieber skated through his bad boy era]!
That about sums it up. Additionally, probation is your chance to prove that you’re a changed person post incarceration, & he failed several times over.
If a person has a mindset to obey the law rather than live outside it, recidivism is not much of an issue to worry about. I’ve never been arrested once in my life, and most of my friends and relatives havent either.
This man has enough money that he can easily live a nice comfortable life within the boundaries of the law.
Your tone was abrasive and curt for the few characters I fonted.
I am certain that all adults that carry a gun, don’t shoot up schools and kill people on a whim, because people use cars, knives, their hands and other items to do so.
I bid you a good week.
Lets not blame the system for everything. The system is biased, we all know that. But that’s even more reason for a black man to walk the straight & narrow when he’s already on probation. Over and over Meek Mill showed that he just couldnt do it.
If a judge keeps seeing you showing up in her courtroom over and over when you’re on probation, it’s only a matter of time before she throws you in jail. Meek Mill needs to be be held accountable for his own actions. That’s part of being a grownup.
Maybe if he wore a different blouse?
lol..
He trying! LOL
I just speak plainly. No offense intended.
Good week to you also.
All of this, same here!!
I get it, but Meek was on probation since 2008 got dang that’s a long time for what he did.
WSHERE: The law is set up for recidivism and long probation is one of the catch alls.
No you want to play the victim.
You have to separate yourself from Pokey and Ray Ray or suffer the consequences.
It’s all up to whether you want to spend your life in the system or free and happy.
????
New Post! Folks care about this dude more than their own family in jail!
I feel you on that. I get it. But the dude got 5 years probation originally, and he’s been arrested multiple times since then. That’s why the judge added extra years to his probtion.
If he just did what he needed to do, this thing would have been behind him a long time ago.
you have valid point.
LOL!
Pride comes before the fall.
!!!
Plus from my knowledge of the city of Philadelphia, guns + drugs supposed to = an automatic 5 years. He aint get that he got probation and been violating ever since, never once doing the amount of time the terms of his probation said he would.
Meek might as well settle in, get comfy, and learn a trade.
Daaaaang…I BET HE WAS POPPING HIS COLLAR AND ERRRRYYY THING WHEN FOLK HAD HIM HYPED ABOUT COMING HOME! LMAO!!
LOLLOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!
LOLLOLLOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!
By the time all appeals are exhausted he would have done his bid.
He looks good in this picture. I really like that blouse…
Bingo. I’ve been saying that since day one. People are acting like he’s being treated unfairly, but it’s only his celebrity status that kept him out of jail in the first place. Most brothas in the hood who get caught with an illegal gun just go straight to jail.
I hope this bitch strokes out!
I’m really not feeling too sorry for him — how many chances can you give a knucklehead??? He got more chances than the average guy and still couldn’t stay out of the pokey. At least he’ll have plenty money on his books for those Lil Debbies…
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!
Now this is the truth!!! He lives a life most can only dream about yet he can’t stay out of jail???
The judge is exacting a personal vendetta. I hope they win his release on appeal because his case is a miscarriage of justice and the judge held accountable.
It still takes so time for some of us to realize that we don’t have the same inalienable rights as others do.
offtopic: Did they really release the Affluenza Teen today? if so, that’s crazy
Meek is in jail because Meek broke the law! – Several times after being put on probation! He went out of state w/o permission and failed every drug test-after the “man” tried to give him a break by giving him probation for a crime he committed! We The People need to stop glorifying and excusing bad behavior and then expecting somebody to respect your feelings. If these fools do the crime they should do the time.
Much as I think Meek Mills is the reason why’s he going thru this himself, this judge clearly has a vendetta out for him. She’s a miserable failed actress with a bad wig. Get a new wig or wear a hat lady.
So it’s PERDONAL when she follows the LAW? She did just overlook his actions because others have done far worse? THE LAW IS THE LAW….. Had nothing to do with her acting skills… GET OVER IT!
YOU AIN’T ???GO-WING NO—WHERE…. (in my bad boy voice doing the Harlem shake)
Anybody else noticed he went downhill after that stuff with Nicki? Of course I’m not saying she had anything to do with it … I just feel like Karma played a lil hand in this. He was dogging her out all on Twitter and IG right along with Safaree’s trifling, corny, fine, big dack having ass. Then Meek had the nerve to take pics with trashy strippers with tats and bullet wounds all over their ass cheeks and post it on social media ! He’ll be alright
Oh well, It doesn’t take long for God to humble you.?
If he gets minimum custody he can leave for the day and come back at night, not sure if he qualifies for it though.
Not to mention him and his goons beating up quentin miller. Bye Meek. Did too fucking much. Lame ass.
Miserable failed JUDGE with a bad wig. Get that title right. While he is a felon not knowing how to play the political game with them folks. Nigga shouldve used them big lips to kiss ass instead running his mouth.
I don’t comment under other people opinion because they entitled to have one. Only A Welfare Mom with 7 kids by 6 men whose unemployed have time to comment on EVERY comment she disagree with. NOW TEND TO YOUR KIDS. I SENTENCE YOU TO A LIFETIME OF LOOKING A YOUR UGLY CHUBBY SELF IN THE MIRROR ?????? IM ON VACATION SO I GOT TIME
Black Male Butt Hurt, lowest todem pole in society condoning thug behavior and who gets blame black women. We use to it. And you ugly as shit so have several seats. You know you dont need to call nobody ugly. You had several opportunities to take a good selfie and you take one looking musty. ????Boy bye.
He broke the law (not once but several times) and probation = consequences. What don’t people and the media get?
chile you linked the wrong tmz story
I can go on and on woth your ugly chubby ass. You mad black men don’t want you u do you want them all in prison… Wipe the tears of your dirty soggy diaper face. Get up and go jump of the bridge. you useless???????????????
Bullet wounds over ass cheeks ?
selfie ??your fat ?face cant fit in the pic ??? lose 100 pounds and continue to suck ?and swallow like you been doing… ????????????
Meek just need to stfu and do his time ?
Huh?? Really, that happens.
Exactly, and harassing poor sarfaree for no reason.
Yes. Mostly from criminals that are non violent. They can report to work during the day and then they report back to jail for the evening. Not sure if this is only for jail vs. prison.
Yea looks like he stuck in there smh..Just when he was building momentum. When you do these crimes they follow you for years. I hope this is a lesson learned for him.
they did smh
Um WROOOONNG Im speaking as a woman who worked for both Corrections(Parole) and Probation ten years and saw the shit for myself… Roderick now what experience do you have..like real working knowledge other than shooting off your self righteous mouth? I don’t have a record but Ive seen and participated in this system and its EXACTLY designed for that. Thats why they stopped alot of the educational programs because that was keeping money out the pockets many prisons are privately run.Then when they try to do right because of their crime can’t get a high enough paying job to stay legal. They know this as well.. Ive seen men “lost’ in the system so don’t fucking come at me with shit you don’t know mkay..
Well good for you..but what about the dude thats not you? Ive see innocent kids get caught by being in a car with friends and get time because one ass out the group was dealing stashed the drugs in the car and no one claimed it so they all got stuck with intent to sell. If you live in a hood where not every parent deserves to parents and thats not the kids fault who their parents are. Kids make friends from a young age and some don’t grow up the same but still are friends then the above happens. Now the kid with the good grades never been in trouble college bound is now in county… this happens to alot of kids Ive seen it sat in court listening to it saw folder after folder of black boys first time offenders get damn near the max while white boys get the opportunity to try again. Live your better than the rest attitude until the day you get pulled over and realize nah you just as black as we are..
Yes, they did and that Trog KILLED 4 people…but Meek is the Worst to walk the earth…let these fools tell it!
What you state is true in general, but we’re talking about Meek Mil specifically.
He has the means to support himself legally but has chosen to hang around people who helped send him back to jail.
“When you do these crimes they follow you for years.”
…and THAT is why he needs to shut up, sit down and do his time. If he had chilled out and stopped doing some of the things that violated his parole he would probably have been ok. Finished out his parole and then free. Now he’s got to go back through it again… smh
Good grief… we’re not talking about an “innocent kid” here. We’re talking about a 30 year old man who’s given opportunity time after time to do the right thing, and he keeps on not doing it. The man got caught with an illegal gun & cocaine, and after being given just probation (which most brothas in the hood wouldnt have gotten), he gets himself arrested multiple times since then. Dont try to conflate that with the “innocent kid” in the hood who gets caught up in a bad situation.
You know nothing about me or my upbringing, but I certainly I dont need for you to tell me about kids who grow up in the hood etc. I grew up under much rougher circumstances than most people think. So no, I don’t have a “better than the rest” attitude about this, and I’m tired of so many of “us” acting like people are acting “better than”, just because we think these ninjas should obey the law, and be accountable if they dont.
I just have an attitude that says I value my freedom, and wont put myself in a position over and over again to let “the man” take my freedom from me. People need to stop acting like Meek is a victim of the system. He’s not. He’s a victim of his own bad decisions and his own stupidity. You can give him a pass if you want, but I wont.
Good day to you.
you told no lies!
FREE MEEK
She’s not playing with him. Do your time if you do the crime. They wouldn’t give me or you a break so he shouldn’t get one either.
he needs to do his time! he violated 5 different times and she let him go! he needs to stop all these appeals before he wont have a dime when he does gets out
Im married to a law biding FINE BLACK MAN hes not going to prison. And if he does we gonna cash in them welfare checks you said I get and get the best attorney. I got him. Nicki had meek till the bitch nigga dogged her.Now stop dick riding meek. GAY Thug????
My hubby like my chubby face. And he dont take musty pics.???

Nah Running my business answering the trolls. Broke niggas always talk little money. Bitch I bought 10 acres in new york for that price.???? keep buying white folks houses. We dont buy white people houses anymore ???
Meek was stupid, but this judge is being unreasonable, and her own behavior highly questionable! I often refer to individuals like Meek as just another dumb rapper and WHY when they stand to lose so much!
But, the disparity is real, and this judge is being highly biased, and it wouldn’t be happening to a White entertainer, that’s all, not trying to absolve Meek was wrong-doing or retribution!
And, this judge doesn’t just preside over celebrity cases, but also individuals who don’t have means or a public to challenge unfair sentencing!
You only pay %30 of your rent section 8 as how ?? government pay the rest with your food stamps using ass… Get off your chubby ass and get your hubby of the corner sitting on a crate drinking beer. typical black ignorance
Yep I used that government resource and save mine. Damn right bitch. Use that 10,000 and get yo musty looking ass in the tub. ??? Looking like a dirty black toe.
