Meek Mill has been released from prison.
The Philadelphia Supreme Court ordered that the rapper, who was incarcerated in November of last year, be released on bail.
“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,” Meek wrote upon his release via Twitter.
“To the Philly District Attorney’s office, I’m grateful for your commitment to justice,” he added. “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.”
Meek was serving 2-4 years in prison for probation violation.
