Meek Mill Receives Early Prison Release

Rapper Meek Mill has reportedly been released from prison after serving five months behind bars.

The “Ima Boss” hitmaker was sentenced to three-to-six months in prison in July after he violated the terms of his parole, linked to his 2009 drug and guns conviction.

In August, a judge denied the 27-year-old’s request for early parole, but on Tuesday he was released from the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, according to FOX 29 News Philadelphia.

A message on Twitter from reporter Steve Keeley reads, “Philly musician Meek Mill getting early Christmas gift today from judge… released more than a month early @fox29philly”.
