Music mogul JAY-Z‘s disgusted over Meek Mill‘s legal nightmare. The hip-hop star has taken to his 4:44 tour to speak his mind on the Dreamchasers boss’ situation.
Young Hov took to the stage this week and addressed Meek’s multi-year prison sentence.
“He caught a charge when he was like 19, he’s 30 now, he’s been on probation for 11 years. F*cking 11 years. Probation. 11 years. Judge says he violated because he did 2 in 4 years because he got arrested for being on a bike popping a f*cking wheelie. Still here. Aye, this 4:44 album is about us moving forward and past it. In order for us to move past all the sh*t we’re going through, we gotta address it. Everyone has to be just as outraged. You can’t look at this as a black and white issue, you have to look at it as a human issue.”

According to Meek lawyer Joe Tacopina, the judge’s sentence stemmed from a past song request.
According to Tacopina, Meek and the the judge are from the same part of Philly and know some of the same people. Tacopina says the judge suggested to Meek — during a meeting in chambers last year — he do a remake of Boyz II Men’s, “On Bended Knee” … and give her, the judge, a shout-out. Meek thought she was kidding and laughed. Tacopina claims she said, “I’m not kidding,” and when Meek refused to do it, she replied … “Okay, suit yourself.” (TMZ)
New York rapper Casanova 2x has publicly flexed his support for Meek amid his 2 to 4-year prison sentence.

Well Jay, it seems that the “boy” oh I forgot a man should stop getting in trouble. See you guys think it is okay for someone to commit a crime. I just do not get it! If Meek would have ran his ass over someone popping wheelies your ass be saying something different. It is the Law man! And… no one is above the law! Get it through your thick head guys! You are not above the Law. This is no Steven Segal movie.
How can you support a guy that continuously do wrong? We are so silly supporting someone that do wrong in our society. It shows we as black people need to continue to educate ourselves about the law or simply what is right and wrong. Come on my people!
