Rapper Meek Mill, left, missed Game 1 of the much-anticipated Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers NBA playoffs series in Toronto on Saturday. Toronto won the round 2 opening game 108-95 at Scotiabank Arena. But the Philly native wasn’t in attendance because Judge Genece Brinkley, center, refused to give him permission to travel to Toronto.
Drake, pictured above and top right, took to Instagram to express his disappointment, stating it was important to allow Meek to travel to Toronto for Game 1.
“They gotta let Meek into the city,” wrote Drake, who is the Raptors’ global ambassador. “It’s only right… we got a classic series on our hands.”
Judge Brinkley denied Meek’s request to travel out of the country to attend the series in Toronto, Complex.com reports.
The judge tossed Meek in prison in 2017 for violating his parole stemming from a 2008 weapons possession conviction. Judge Brinkley revoked Meek’s parole and sentenced him to serve 2-4 years.
But Meek’s celebrity friends rallied public and private sector support for the troubled rapper who was released in 2018 by a Pennsylvania appeals court. Since his release, Meek has attended Sixers games at home and on the road.
Although Meek attended the Golden State Warriors vs L.A. Clippers series on the West Coast last week, he couldn’t travel to Toronto to cheer on his favorite team.
Judge Brinkley previously authorized the rapper to travel out of the country to perform concerts in the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
Sixers owner Michael Rubin wrote a scathing rebuke of the judge on Instagram.com, accusing Brinkley of being “obsessed” with the rapper and “trying to control every aspect of his life.”

Leave this damn woman alone! Is Meek is going there for work purposes?!?! So over these entitled celebrities.
Meek And Drake can GTFOH. Who TF is Meek? What great contribution has he made to society? Child BYE!
Be happy you even got out. He’ll add this “injustice” in his prison reform agenda.
Ugh!! Stfu Drake D ridin! Of all the things messed up in this world you whinin over another MAN who messed up on his own behalf whom isnt attending some NBA game…foh attacking a black woman doing her job. Just worry about your stripper child and not another grown mans woes or entitlement …yea yall made up, now u just doin too much ?..hmm?
This miserable ass hoe.
If they filed when the sked dropped…like Rubin said… we are talking about LAST AUGUST
It was the first game of a seven game series. Why are they so mad?
He for sure isn’t going to get permission now.
now had she allowed this they would be saying she abusing her power and giving special privileges to the wealthy
She didn’t do the crime therefore stop wasting her time. Why put her face on social media like this when she is only doing her job? He would be on his way to Toronto if he stayed out of trouble.
She approved United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany just last month. They werent all for work purposes. And we all know the Netherlands equals weed. He can go to Amsterdam to smoke, but not to Toronto where I’m sure he could have indeed did a few club appearances; esp on a Friday and Saturday night and written it off for work. This lady is full of shit IMO. IJS.
He was on his Motivation tour working that’s why he was approved for those countries. He told the court that’s (touring) how he feeds his family, she’s only approving him for work events.
Can we get a post on Gucci and takeoff from Migos beef?
This is bs he violated/broke his parole so what is the problem. He aint special and drake looking all funny his mix aint hitting it who said bm and wm make pretty babies?
The pic placement got Drake looking at her crazy lol
IKR
Ok! It’s hilarious
I think she’s only approving what she thinks is for work purposes. This is just a game, he doesn’t need to go ?
I’ll get on it. I didn’t think anyone cared about that beef. ??
Gucci was bogus for even coming out saying anything about this. ???Remind me to never get money from 50, or take a gifts from Mayweather or Gucci they’re some petty dudes.
He works as part of the NBA as well. He co headlined the All Star game a mere 2 months ago. So we don’t think he was gonna try to make ANY Canadian dollars while there? No club appearances? Meet and greet? Nothing? Him and Drake weren’t gonna try to parlay their renewed friendship into something of profit? Well ok. I also don’t think Amsterdam as I said was all work. But yep. He went straight to work and then right back to his hotel.
I guess. *shrug*
He is off his meds. Reminds me of when he was running around saying all that crazy mess before he got locked up the last time
Dubb now you know he don’t have to be there ???
Screw Meek ?????
I agree he was most def enjoying himself while on tour; but I think it’s all about how they’re petitioning the courts. MR should’ve worked it out so he could perform at the halftime show. Meek team is playing checkers while she’s playing chess. They came for job with lies (she’s suing him) I wouldn’t be lenient either, everything by the book from here on out.
Dang, she still got her foot on his neck?
*Me and my nosey butt goes to Google the beef*
He is a huge huge part of 76ers. Practically the face of the org who is known as a hip hop team so to speak. As a sports fan, he needed to be there. I think Meek is a dumb ass to be frank. He pissed me off over hair thing and few other things. But I’m sorry. I can see how he needed to be there. Too bad he wasnt
Now this I agree with. I for sure think that he should have given him a role. To make it look as if he is at least working on behalf of the 76ers organization
OT: I got a question. What is the etiquette for baby showers? Kim K just had a ‘weed’ shower for baby 4. So if u have 15 kids do u get 15 baby showers?
I had ONE. The next pregnancy I have I will have sip n sees only. I don’t need people dropping by whenever they feel like it disrupting my family’s schedule.
Dang again?
I want this lady to gets better damn hair piece.
Meek stay your ass at home. You can go to games 3 & 4. Don’t know if Philly will make it past that.
I think if he had stated it was for work, it would have been different. He knows how this judge rolls ?
I had two but my girls are 10 whole years apart.
I thought Canada was keeping him out of their country.
He needs to ask for a different judge because this b!tch is being as petty as hell
People in jail that actually did nothing but this idiot actually violated his parole.
Why dont his celebrity friends and supports do the same thing about gang violence and etc. This fool got out and still acting stupid

We don’t
Well dat nignog has travelled abroad plenty then
Be Quiet Drake – you are not an American citizen. Tell Canada how to run their country – fool.
Meek broke the law – not once, several times. Educate yourself before making uninformed comments.
Meek ain’t a coach, player, mascot or even a damn cheerleader which means he does not HAVE to be there. Watch from the house like all the other damn fans who cant go to Canada and be happy you watching it from your house and not the big house. Be grateful, be humble, be f*cking quiet! ?

This poor excuse for a so called court Judge Genece Brinkley is a poor example of a black woman. She is preciding over a high profile case and acting like an ugly vindictive jealous petty evil tramp. Who in her life can help her see that her sexually driven and unrequited scorned behavior is transparent for the world to see.
She is vile and unattractive and bitter because a man young enough to be her son could not be negotiated, conjoled, bribed, and bullied into wanting her or being homies with her. So she’s using her judicial position to force an overreaching personal relationship of dominance with him.
Shame shame shame on that evil woman.
Serious question, was the judge born a man?
Lol they hid her court email address. I guess she’s been getting all kinds of hate? Damn this dust mite not dead yet!!
Yes I definitely agree with that.
That’s right popping wheelies is detrimental to society!! ?
Argggghhh I ain’t did nuffin your judgeship!! Said everyone currently in holding ?
Noooo squirrel is in season!!
Parole ?? Argggghhh you must be white??
What in the hell is going on with Judge Genece Brinkley? She is acting like a scorn lover. It’s definitely something personal.
another example of a couple of man-childs in the black community. YAWN!
I felt that way too until an officer punched me in the face during a routine traffic stop. Then took me to jail and told me in the car he was going to say I assaulted him. Luckily I had bail and the D.A on my side. Yes there are men who maybe innocent or at least being held on trumped up charges. This is a real problem. We see it how black and brown people are treated sometimes vs whites. Sorry. It’s a hard pill I learned. I realized know amount of proper English fancy car or house on the hill could change how people treated me when I was not in a shirt and tie
Not cool either your use of broken slang in an attempt to say they speak like that. Let’s see how funny when and if it happens to u
It’s happened to me but I filed a complaint that will follow them forever whether I did it or not! They hate a mark on their jacket!!
Yeah I spit on porky head from the backseat and he said we stopping by your mom house to show her where you at. That mf’er rang the doorbell ?
Your jokes on a serious topic is not appreciated..good night sir…
Loosen up Chhzz I’ve been to holding more than I can remember!
It’s not a joke sassafras!! Good night chuckles!
Lol when it happens to me. Been there done that and If it happens again I will not come here crying like a bey-atch! Man up dude!
Ok…
Why am I a tree?sassafras?
Why am I a squire? Who’s the mentor?
Chhzz get some get back put it on his jacket. Whenever he applies for a promotion it’s going to come up. Guess who they are going to call? YOU
I will. Guess if we all do that’s a start
If only she put this much energy into reclaiming that hairline of hers.?
Why hasn’t she been disbarred by now???
Meek need to just let her taste the ? ? so she can be satisfied. ?????
She has allowed him to travel for work and leisure…He’s not going to get approved every time he wants to travel for leisure. You win some, you lose some.
Since the owner of the Sixers has such a big mouth he should hire scream mill. That way, he’ll have a better chance of traveling with the team.
Lol!! ?
See …. this is that BS. And they’re acting like this because she’s a black woman. It’s so easy to attack us. Not today, satan ! She allowed him to travel out of country because he was WORKING. However, attending a basketball game is not work. This ain’t gonna be a “classic” series because the Sixers are either gonna get swept or lose in 5. So Drake can cut the sh*t. Meek Mill’s criminal ass needs to be thankful he’s out! Because if he was a regular ninja who didn’t have billionaire friends, he’d still be in jail. He better attend those trash home games in Philly and shut up. Don’t attack this woman for doing her job ! Meek, Drake and the Sixers owner are all pieces of trash.
Bingo!!!
She made alot of people angry when she showed up at his volunteer work. The place is a place for homeless people to reiever mail. Somedays they serve food. I benifited from that charity when i was sick in the hospital than homeless. Alot of people who that judge put in jail over petty stuff and lost their jobs and became homeless was there that day.
1st world problems?
Oh wow! I have a special place in my heart for homeless. I use to volunteer myself at a clean living homeless shelter. How are U doing now? Are things any better?
The judge is not Meek Mill’s problem. Meek was Meek’s problem. Meek put Meek in the position that he is currently in. Why does this judge have to bend over for a person that put themselves in sh*tty spots?? This was NOT work related. Meek has no official position with the 76er’s, right? The judge didn’t convict Meek Mill of a crime he “didn’t commit”, she oversees his probation. Guilt or innocence at this point is moot. Like she is supposed to clean up a previous error, which isn’t her JOB. This woman has been investigated over this. She hasn’t been removed from his case. That means something. Stop capping for this dude. He needs to accept his lot, learn to accept his limitations and keep it moving until his probation has ended. The end. Super simple.
I agree. The 76er’s owner’s post was WAY out of line. I’m like ‘f’ you sir.
Hell no…the max baby showers a woman should have is 3…If you have two kids of different genders and/or if there is atleast a 8-10 year age difference in the children…these women out here popping out babies once every 18 months and want a shower…Chile please I wish I attended more weddings than baby showers but c’est la vie….
Judge Brinkley is being vindictive…. Now I dont like Meek I think he is a perfect representation of how the men in my city move and how ignorant and streamlined they are… He should have been off probation for 5 years ago tho. Now being that I’ve seen/met Judge Brinkley in person on occasion I will admit that she does look like the Demon in the Insidious movies…gives me a little jolt everytime…Chile…
Why doesn’t he spend the extra time with his child or doing community service? A basketball game is not that important in the big picture of life!
“A basketball game is not that important in the big picture of life!”
Aww sit down Aubrey.
chile’…..I’m that shrug train with you …..lol
lmao!!! yassss….Gucci was loco for real before he went in….dude was saying all kinds of cray cray mess……lemme find out he forgot her Rx tho…lol
Gucci may be right this time don’t know ?
Somebody pissed him off
Yup crazy didn’t know all that too
