Meek Mill received some bad news in court today. The 32-year-old rapper attended a hearing in Superior Court of Pennsylvania on Tuesday to determine whether his old weapons possession case will be thrown out.
Last month, the same court overturned Judge Genece Brinkley’s revocation for violating the terms of his 2007 conviction. He was granted a new trial.
In a statement last month, Meek thanked the superior court and said he was “ecstatic that justice prevailed.” He also vowed to continue working to “change these outdated laws and fix our broken criminal justice system.”
But things didn’t go as planned for Meek and his legal team.
According to NBC NY, Meek’s legal team asked the court for additional time to prepare his case and the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office did not object to the request. But the judge disappointed Meek and his lawyers by delaying the decision until next month.
Meek’s legal team had hoped to end the rapper’s 12-year ordeal today, but the judge had concerns, according to sources.
A new hearing was set for Aug. 27, per NBC NY, and Meek was allowed to remain out of prison on his own recognizance.
Meek’s fans had hoped to celebrate his freedom with him as they gathered outside of Philadelphia’s Stout Center for Criminal Justice. But the disappointed rapper did not speak to them after leaving the courthouse and hopping into a chauffeured car.
“While we had hoped that this matter would end today, we remain confident that justice will prevail in Meek’s case once and for all,” Mill’s attorney Joe Tacopina said in a statement on Tuesday.

Not a fan but I think it’s time they leave this dude TF alone.
Cant stand this idiot but this is crazy at this point
He can’t catch a break. Maybe he should have worn a suit and proper shoes.
Why he coming out of his clothes? Wait until you get in the car, man.
Damn boo. I work out to Championships on a daily basis, that’s my jam. Hoping he can move forward with his life soon.
So his legal messes have been dragging on for 12 years now?
I can only imagine what this man has spent on legal fees over all these years. These lawyers are not cheap.
I looked at the outfit too. Step it up Meek.
Can’t rap worth a damn. Mirophone Mill
They trying to push him to the edge but don’t give in Meek. Keep doing positive and everything WILL work out in your favor. Philly should be ashamed. All the doing is milking him for all the money they can because they know all of that is about to come to an end. Some verdicts isn’t about the crime but what the state can get out of it ($)!!!!
that jacket look too small. is that how men are wearing them now
He shouldn’t have worn torn pants to court. Show some respect .
It looks extra small
It amazes me how many people don’t get this. There’s a certain decorum in terms of attire, that should be followed for certain places.
I can’t
We been off trying to “LOOK THE PART” as a people. Smh
Omg
Justice did not prevail – he broke probation several times, even left the area – a big no no! Why does he think he is above the law – because Jay Z backs him? I don’t think he is exempt.
This isn’t bad news. If they had arrested him and put him in jail would be bad news!
Yes, men are wearing as tight as can be.
It was the jeans. That was disrespectful attire for court.
This is true. Presenting a professional respectable image goes a long way.
At least Cardi B wore a suit by a designer. He looks like a hobo.
That’s how I was raised.
i thought it was just me

ALL those folks look like they just rolled out of bed and LITERALLY threw something on
The judge has every right to be concerned.
Dude was on IG saying SAYING he was off the Loud.
Bruh … you just ,maybe might be free
As a Grown man, put on a shirt, tie n slacks in court! Your approach was wrong but they still draggin the hell out of this case! This worse then child support ????
It’s his lower body (in my Yung Miami voice) ?
Meek you are earning respect with your prison reform movement. Please boss up. If all else fails try to look the part. SEE Nipsey Hussle’s magazine spread. You are just as tall as Nip and should look great in a suit. Or you might just look like a tall MLK Jr.?

Even some black jeans is better than that mess he is wearing.

Should’ve went and seen Trump when he got out like he said instead of letting jay-z and the rest of you pro-blacks talk him out.. Could’ve teamed up with kim k on tbe prison reform if that’s his so called movement.. Besides those arn’t his words anyway..

He scruffy as all hell! But the slits n the jeans THREW me.

What movement? He said he is not an activist. The fool is only out for himself.
Almost handsomebut
It’s like two body types on one body?
The top half looks well developed but lower half looks ??

Meek didn’t show up to court like that right?? Anyone in Philly?? Someone tell Meek to stay in the house until the 27th, and I mean inside the house…dont even go to the mailbox.
LOCK HIM UP!
Right, he’s not even dressed like he wants freedom. I’d been in there with a three piece suit on.
well…he should have known that they was not letting this go easy….
Story of his life. Look, people are making a martyr out of this man, but he is just a comedy of errors. This was a short stay in the big house, and a 5 year probation back in 2009. Had put his head down, kept his nose clean, did what he needed to do to get off paperwork, he would’ve been done with this mess FIVE YEARS AGO!!! But he just kept frickin up extending his probation in leau of prison, and now he’s the poster child for injustice?? Here we are a decade later, and he’s still doing dumb shit like wearing torn jeans to court. He doesn’t get it, and he never has. This is what that judge that everyone demonized for the last decade was dealing with.
It’s the current culture, buck the old system it’s not for us type thinking. I wonder if he addressed the judge as Your Honor or not.
He’s so fugly ??
Exactly it’s not like he can’t afford it. He’s dressed poorly and looks tide as hell, but maybe he changed in the bathroom…I hope he changed in the bathroom.
You’re right about them bucking the system. Unfortunately the old guard is still on charge.
Exactly he was the right person to do it.
I said the same thing about Meek’s wardrobe. Thought I was just old. I hope ole boy takes your advice in the meantime.
Not this mofo AGAIN!
He can’t be serious wearing those ripped jeans and smedium blazer to court
I hope his lawyer did all the talking and addressed the judge properly. But, I would not be shocked if he let a “Ya feel me” or “Ya know what I’m sayin” slide out.
Lol
Chile…the things they let these celebs get away with
?
I hope so too because he looks like he has a rebellious spirit.
I can’t stand grown men with ripped jeans, matter of fact I don’t like them on boys.
Dude in the white shirt looks like he’s related to Jay Z.
For Real….SMH.
why didnt he just take Trumps help when Trump offered it?
Fuck him. He is disrespectful to black women.
Hey nee
that whole outfit is all wrong i dont care of thats a $2000 blazer and $3000 jeans.
Go away Weak Mill ?
Hey Peach!!
That’s not necessarily bad news, it’s just prolonged news. Why does he look like he’s wearing a pair of wheelies sneakers?
https://media0.giphy.com/media/BkZBzxcqrSt9u/giphy.gif
And this is why more gun laws won’t work. He don’t use the gun laws we got.
A tuxedo!! https://media2.giphy.com/media/SWdHAw32cI2LwUYJtb/giphy.gif
Probably addressed the judge by his/her first name ?
Did he sCruggle to get that lil ole BLAZER ON?
IDK if I dont like him because he’s from my city…or if he’s ugly…or if he just talks too damn much…
Childish af. That’s something a kid does after you make them dress up for church or school.
He looks like she should give up on his hair and just shave it all off. Might make him look younger, too.
WTF did he not appear looking more presentable. Do these folks realize these judges would like nothing more than to lock you up forever? He couldn’t find a pair of slacks?? Many of our men have drank the kool aid. You honestly think your money will save you? Lemme clear this up for you: WHAT THEY DO YOU CANNOT DO. no matter what.
He’s a fool.
I never say anyone is ugly, but you all are down below. He looks similar to many of the men that get you ladies’ panties in a bunch. he looks no different that all those current rappers who make you all melt. Which one is it?
All the above
Lol
Have you been smoking?
I’m glad I wasn’t one of the ladies “in the comments,,down below” because he looks nothing like any man I have ever dated and the only rapper that gives me that ooooh aaaaalll feeling is Common and Nas and he looks NOTHING like them….soooooo
He trying to be like Jayz…
made me scroll back up….and yes….yes that’s a struggle blazer
Chile your post be having me saying…say that shyt!!! Haha
Two things with me I’m either going to say it with my funny bone or say it with my chest LOL
