American hip hop recording
artist, Meek Mill was sentenced to two to four years in prison on Monday after
violating his probation, according to CBS 3.
The rapper, 30, who was already
under probation for a drug and weapons case, was arrested twice this year.
Earlier in March, he was arrested
in St. Louis and charged with misdemeanor assault for an altercation with two
airport employees.
Also, in August, the rapper,
whose real name is Robert Rihmeek William, was charged with reckless
endangerment for illegally riding his dirt bike in Inwood.
He took a plea deal and the case
will be dismissed after six months of good behaviour and 30 hours of community
service.
In a statement, JAY-Z, who runs
Roc Nation, the management company that Mill is signed with, called the
sentence “unjust and heavy handed.”
“We will always stand by and
support Meek Mill, both as he attempts to right this wrongful sentence and then
in returning to his musical career.”
