Update: Meek Mill’s Legal Woes Intensify, MMG Member’s Pleas Rejected

Maybach Music Group member Meek Mill is going to spend a little more time behind bars after appearing in court and having a plea to finally taste freedom again rejected today (August 18).

Despite in-person support from DJ Khaled and his crew, Meek could not escape the penal system Monday.

After a 90-minute hearing in a packed courtroom that included DJ Khaled and members of Meek’s DreamChasers, Maybach Music Group and Atlantic Records teams, the judge shot down the appeal — which could have set the rapper free as early as today. In addition, the judge demanded that Mill, born Robert Williams, completes anger management and parenting classes, as well as seek drug and alcohol treatment before he is let out. If the “Ima Boss” MC doesn’t complete the three programs, the judge said he will have to do the entire six months of his sentence. (MTV)

Meek’s legal team also could not convince a judge to release him last month.

Meek Mill suffered a setback in his quest to get out of jail after a judge rejected his lawyers’ request for an emergency hearing yesterday. He has been jailed since July 11 for violating terms of his probation stemming from a 2009 drug and gun conviction. His lawyers filed a petition Thursday asking for the hearing within three days, in hopes of freeing the 27-year-old rapper – whose real name is Robert Williams. (Philly)
