After serving six months of a two- to four-year sentece for violating probation on a roughly decade-old gun and drug case, Meek Mill has been ordered to be set free on unsecured bail. The directive was given by the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court this afternoon.
Mill released a statement via Twitter in three parts (seen below). In his statement, Mill said he will be working closely with his legal team to “overturn this unwarranted conviction.”
Meek Mill goes free
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.
