Meek Mill has responded to backlash after he shouted “Free Tory Lanez” at a recent show.
“I say free young thug … free lucci … free melly,” Meek Mill wrote on Threads. “I don’t even know why y’all start dealing with us if yall gone try to smear us …. That’s why I stick to the trenches.”
The Philly rapper added, “If I said free MUMIA a. I gonna be shamed! he’s allegedly guilty for killing a few male cop!. I grew up to the black nation screaming that! Why do y’all think y’all can control us we got millions and real man influence not internet tricks!”
A jury convicted Lanez of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle in December 2022. Lanez is scheduled to be sentenced on August 7. Prosecutors are seeking a minimum of 13 years for the rapper although he could face more than 20 years behind bars.
