Meek was in jail for five months for a 2009 drug and gun charge. He was released in December 2014. Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley is threatening to send the former XXL Freshman back to jail because he violated his probation by leaving Philadelphia without a travel voucher. It is speculated that the trip that got Meek in trouble was his attendance at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Nov. 22. Nicki Minaj won two AMA awards that night.
Brinkley also stated that Meek submitted a suspicious urine sample. Defense lawyer Frank DeSimone explained to the judge that the music industry “is chaotic” and his client isn’t trying to cause trouble. DeSimone also said that the couple is serious about getting married. Meek Mill bought Nicki a huge diamond ring recently that sparked rumors that the couple could be engaged.
No decision was made at today’s hearing and Meek is due back in court on Dec. 17.
