Meek Mill has addressed the backlash he's been receiving for shouting "free Tory Lanez" during his recent Rolling Loud performance. In a pair of posts on the new social media site, Threads, the Philadelphia rapper said that he's got "real man influence" and "not internet tricks." Meek made the remark while performing his 2016 collaboration with Lanez, "Litty."
"I say free young thug … free lucci … free melly," Meek began in one post. "I don’t even know why y’all start dealing with us if yall gone try to smear us …. That’s why I stick to the trenches."

Lanez is currently behind bars due to the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. He was originally convicted on three counts for the incident in 2022. They include first-degree assault with a firearm, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, and having a concealed firearm in a vehicle – unregistered. He faces a maximum of 22 years and eight months in prison. A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge pushed Lanez's sentencing date to Monday, August 7, 2023, last month. Be on the lookout for more information regarding his case at that time.
