Woooooooow……Stand Up Philadelphia!” Hart wrote on Instagram.

JAY-Z wrote a statement on his Facebook page. “Today, Meek Mill, a son of Philadelphia, is a free man,” he said. “He was incarcerated unjustly and caught in a probation trap for years by a broken system. Now we can celebrate his release. We thank every individual that has supported and fought alongside Meek every step of the way.”

I’d like to thank God, my family, 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.
