Hollywood actor Kevin Hart really wants to see Meek Mill live up to his potential outside of prison. The Philadelphia native has come forward to speak up on the jailed Dreamchaser boss.

Kev went to Instagram Saturday (November 11) and addressed the need for people to sign a petition to have Meek’s sentence re-evaluated.

“Um, happy Saturday, people. I’m just taking a second to speak on my friend Meek Mill’s situation and try to bring as much attention to it as I can and asking you guys to go to Justice4Meek.com. Sign the petition, we’re trying to get this sentence re-evaluated. I mean, look, it’s just not fair. Look, the guy’s not perfect. He’s done some things in his past life and he’s been on probation for a large part of that past life and the sentencing he’s getting is stupid.”

This week, Meek’s lawyer Joe Tacopina singled out the judge for throwing down a multi-year prison sentence.

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)

Over the past few days, everyone from JAY-Z to Rick Ross have rallied for Meek’s freedom.
