Meek Mill, once upon a time, preached in one of his tracks called “Burn” the following passionate line: “I been to jail, I ain’t goin’ back.” But, when you violate probation, you kind of have to. So, if you need an update, that’s where he resided for the past 5 months until yesterday.
On a serious note, his case runs deeper then what seemed to be a failed drug test that resulted in him behind bars. According to ESPN, prosecutors believe that a new trial should be set in order to analyze his 2007 conviction involving an officer that may have a lack of credibility in charging Meek.
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.

By keeping the positive vibes going, Kodak Black may be right behind Meek Mill in being released from jail. In the beginning of 2018, he was arrested for the exposure of marijuana and a gun around an infant, and the party came to a halt as he was placed in Florida jail.
But, his attorney Bradford Cohen may have had a “tunnel vision” of his own, as he was able to reach a deal that meant that Kodak Black will not be placed on house arrest after he gets out in September.
Just completely resolved @KodakBlack1k case. The State and Judge were professional and fair. I am happy not just for a client, but for a friend. There are great things instore for him, and he is glad to have this behind him. @breakfastclubam @XXL @AP @BBMAs

Meek Mill’s battle in the legal world doesn’t seem to be close to over yet, and Kodak Black may easily keep associating with other criminals again once he’s released…but, for now, it’s good news all around.
