Meek Mill to Attend 76er Game Following Prison Release

Meek Mill’s will attend Tuesday’s NBA playoff game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat, Yahoo’s Shams Charania reports.

News broke that Mill would be released from prison later Tuesday after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Judge Genece Brinkley’s two- to four-year sentence after he violated probation.

“Meek Mill—who received release from jail Tuesday—has plans to attend 76ers-Heat Game 5 tonight in Philadelphia, working to make the game,” Charania wrote.

The rapper took to social media and expressed joy that he would finally be released, and he thanked people who supported him.

I’d like to thank God, my family, my friends, my attorneys, my team at Roc Nation including Jay Z, Desiree Perez, my good friend Michael Rubin, my fans, The Pennsylvania Supreme Court and all my public advocates for their love, support and encouragement during this difficult time. While the past five months have been a nightmare, the prayers, visits, calls, letters and rallies have helped me stay positive. To the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office, I’m grateful for your commitment to justice – not only for my case, but for others that have been wrongfully jailed due to police misconduct. Although I’m blessed to have the resources to fight this unjust situation, I understand that many people of color across the country don’t have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues. 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.
