Rapper Meek Mill has been sentenced to at least two years in prison for violating probation, TMZ reports.
Meek appeared in a Philadelphia court on Monday, November 8, where the judge reportedly ruled that the rapper violated probation from his 2009 drug and weapons case.
In March, Meek, 30, was arrested in St. Louis and charged with misdemeanor assault for an altercation with two airport employees.
According to the judge, the rapper also violated probation when he was arrested for reckless driving in New York City.
Mill was originally given five years of parole for the 2008 gun and drug charges and has violated his probation numerous times. Judge Genece E Brinkley, who has overseen the case from the start, told Mill “I gave you break after break, and you basically just thumbed your nose at this court.” During a hearing in 2013, Brinkley ordered Mill to take etiquette lessons after the rapper complained about court staff in internet posts. In 2016, he was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest.
Mill made headlines in 2015 when he entered into a feud with Drake, accusing the musician of using ghostwriters for his songs. Between 2015 and 2017, Mill was in a relationship with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj. In 2015 she told the judge she would help Mill to follow the rules of his parole.
