UPDATE: Meek is officialy home! See his full statement regarding his release below.
I’d like to thank God, my family, 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 Philly District Attorney’s office, I’m grateful for your commitment to justice. 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.

Finally some good news for Meek Mill.
Earlier today the Supreme Court ruled that Meek Mill must immediately be released from prison under his previously stated bail conditions.
Meek has received an outpouring of support over the last few months, including that from Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney who recently visited the rapper behind bars.
Kenney believes Meek would “would better serve the community outside of prison, and that his case makes clear and urgent the desperate need to continue working with our partners to reform the criminal justice system.”
Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin shared his excitement for Meek’s release on Instagram in a post which you can see below.
