Meek Mill and judge Genece Brinkley butt heads again and it’s getting messy.
The Philly rapper will not be in attendance at the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors this weekend because the judge did not approve his travel. 76ers owner Michael Rubin is now fuming about it, and Meek Mill fans are joining in on the backlash of judge Genece Brinkley. As you’re aware, Meek is still on probation for a gun case dated back almost a decade ago. He was sentenced to twelve years of probation, so a judge always has to approve his travel outside of Philly.
On Friday, reports surfaced that the judge had not approved Meek’s travel to Toronto despite getting adequate notice. Michael Rubin also said that he thinks that the judge has a vendetta against Meek Mill.
“Judge Genece Brinkley – I know you have a vendetta against Meek Mill and are obsessed with trying to control every aspect of his life, but did you really NOT approve him to go to rep the sixers in Toronto for the game? Do you also hate PHILLY?” Rubin wrote on Instagram. “As soon as the schedule came out, Meek asked probation for approval—they immediately approved!”
“We filed w/your court as soon as the schedule came out since you need to approve travel to Canada!” Rubin continues in his lengthy post. “Since you didn’t respond to numerous phone calls and emails we even sent a lawyer to the courthouse today!!”
Judge Genece Brinkley is the same judge the sentenced Meek Mill to four years for probation violation in 2017 for popping a wheelie in the streets. You can recalled the sentencing drew a heavy backlash from the rapper’s fans and a lot of his celebrity peers. Meek was eventually released from prison, but the case is still casting a dark cloud over his head.
