Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross is not leaving any man behind, especially after finding out his protégé Meek Mill could spend the rest of 2014 behind bars on a probation violation. #freemeekmill
The “Bawse” jumped onto his Twitter page to make a public plea for Meek’s freedom late Friday (July 11) night.

According to reports, Meek could spend up to six months in jail.
Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill is behind bars Friday night. Mill, seen in video at the scene of last weekend’s deadly fire in Southwest Philadelphia, will spend three to six months behind bars after violating his probation. He’s in custody right now. Prosecutors say they were concerned about a number of recent incidents with Mill, including posting a photo of himself with a gun. (My Fox Philly)
Mill spent hours trying to convince a judge not to throw him behind bars.
The Philadelphia-born Mill, whose real name is Robert Williams, and his lawyer Gary Silver, tried for almost four hours to convince Brinkley not to send him back to prison. Mill, 27, said his rising career in hip hop has supported him, his mother, sister and son and other friends and placed his monthly expenses at $80,000 to $90,000. “It took me 15 years to get here and this will be extremely damaging to my life,” Mill told the judge.

Tensions flared when the judge realized Mill had booked performances during his probation.
The final straw appeared to be when Brinkley heard that Mill had booked concerts between July 11 and August 11, a time when she ordered him to stop while she tried to resolve his probation problems. (Philly)
