Meek Mill's Bail Request Denied

Meek Mill’s legal woes continue to trouble him.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

The rapper has been denied bail by a Philadelphia judge. The judgement happened Friday but was released only on Monday to the public. Meek had filed an emergency bail petition in his probation violation case against him, through his lawyer. Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley, who was the original judge in his probation case as well, called him a “danger to the community” and a flight risk while turning down the request.

“As stated on multiple occasions, he has never missed a previous court date in this case and poses absolutely no threat to the community, which makes him an ideal candidate for bail – a conclusion the Commonwealth did not oppose,” Mill’s attorney Joe Tacopina said in a statement.

Brinkley sentenced Meek in November to two to four years in prison for violating his probation despite prosecutors recommending no jail time. The original case stems from a 2008 gun and drug charge.

Meek’s lawyer has been accusing the judge in having a personal vendetta against the rapper. Last month in an interview, he claimed that the Judge wanted Meek to quit Roc Nation and sign with a friend of hers for a management deal. She also reportedly made a request that Meek re-record Boyz II Men’s song ‘On Bended Knee’ which he tributes to her and mentions her by name in the song. Calling it an “infatuation” with Meek, Joe Tacopina said that he has never seen such a case like this in his long legal career.
