Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill has weighed in on hip-hop stars Bobby Shmurda and Rick Ross battling the legal system after publicized arrests.
Although he has kept in contact with Shmurda, Meek said he was unaware of how serious Ross’ charges are.
“I just been talking to Bobby, giving him words of encouragement. The press really made them into next-level monsters, but they were just kids in the hood doing their thing,” Meek said. “I don’t really know about [Ross’] charges, but you gotta fight them. All [Rick Ross] worried about is how the album doing. He gonna be alright.” (Hot 97)

– $500,000 surety bond (from a bail bondsman)
