It appears Meek Mill had a couple more famous supporters pay him a visit while behind bars on Tuesday. Just days after Philadelphia 76ers guards Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons paid the MMG rapper a visit, 76ers owner Michael Rubin & Patriots owner Robert Kraft decided to follow in suit, and visit the Philly rapper in prison on Tuesday.
Thanks to TMZ who captured the footage, the two men were at the State Correctional Institute in Chester, Pennsylvania, to reportedly offer some words of encouragement to Meek, who was sentenced to two to four years in jail in November for violating the terms of his probation.
"Amazing young man. I know how I’d feel if I was in the situation he is," Kraft said. "Every time I see him, I just come away more impressed. He’s very intelligent. And makes it clear to me we have to do something with criminal justice reform.” Kraft added that he thinks Meek is a "great guy" and the situation he's in is "just sad.”
Kraft & Rubin join a list consisting of James Harden, Joel Embiid, Rick Ross, and Rev. Al Sharpton, among others who’ve already visited Meek in prison so far, and I'm sure they wont be the last.
Last month, the Philly rapper's legal team filed a motion to have Judge Genece Brinkley removed from his case, stating she "exceeded the judicial role by sometimes essentially acting as a prosecutor and, at other times, taking an unusual interest in, and trying to inject herself into, [Meek Mill's] personal and professional life."
