Did Meek Mill Get Sentenced To Prison Because He Wouldn't Do A Boyz II Men Remake And Give The Judge A Shout Out? I'm Dead Serious.

So I’m sure everybody saw this last night – you don’t have to be a rap fan to have heard that Meek Mill got 2-4 years in prison and everybody is going nuts about it.   Seemed like an incredibly harsh sentence for the 30 year old Mill considering it was a probation violation for a case he caught when he was 19 years old.  Then again, he has been arrested twice since then, with the charges being dropped but only because he agreed to community service plea deals.  Failing a drug test recently seems to be the last straw for this judge.

Speaking of that judge…

That’s where the crazy part of the story comes in.

Apparently during the trial, the prosecutor actually recommended that Meek not get jail time for this.  The very person who was making the case against him and going after him decided it wasn’t serious enough to imprison him.  The judge just flat out didn’t listen.

The sentence rounded out a roughly decade-long back and forth between the 30-year-old musician and Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley that has dogged Mill’s career as he had been jailed and called to court multiple times on various infractions. 

The handing down of the sentence came after a prosecutor recommended that Mill not be imprisoned for the violations, saying that he has been clean since January and that he has grown as a person since his original crime. Brinkley said the prosecutor was too new to the case to understand how Mill just “does what he wants.”

“I’ve been trying to help you since 2009,” Brinkley said, citing a failed drug test, failure to comply with a court order restricting his travel and two other unrelated arrests. “You basically thumbed your nose at me.” [AP]

Was it really just “the last straw” from a “fed up” judge?

Or does it go much deeper?

Is it because…Meek wouldn’t take her recommendation to remake a Boyz II Men song and give her a shoutout in it?

Meek Mill is back behind bars because the judge has a long-standing vendetta against him, partially related to a Boyz II Men hit … according to a member of his legal team.

Meek was sentenced to 2 to 4 years for violating probation, but one of his attorneys, Joe Tacopina, tells TMZ … even prosecutors had recommended no jail time. According to Tacopina, Meek and the the judge are from the same part of Philly and know some of the same people.

Tacopina says the judge suggested to Meek — during a meeting in chambers last year — he do a remake of Boyz II Men’s, “On Bended Knee” … and give her, the judge, a shout-out. Meek thought she was kidding and laughed.

Tacopina claims she said, “I’m not kidding,” and when Meek refused to do it, she replied … “Okay, suit yourself.”

Is the judge really just a down-ass Meek groupie looking for some shine?  Looks like that could be the case.  Either that or the constant, numerous violations of the law.  Who’s to say.

Either way, looks like Meek is going to have to spend the next 2-4 years of his life replaying it all over again in his head, wishing, just wishing he had dropped an On Bended Knee remake with a loud ass Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley shout out in the chorus.

Yet another L for Meek.
