Meek Mill faces a potential prison sentence early next year after a judge in Philadelphia found the rapper guilty of probation violations.
The judge said Thursday she’s not sure she’ll keep Mill on probation after he repeatedly ignored travel and other rules she set for him in recent years.
The 28-year-old rapper, born Robert Williams, cannot work or perform before the Feb. 5 hearing except for community service.
Mill testified that he knows his “whole life is on the line” and tried to follow the rules.
Mill says he has dropped old friends from his entourage to spend time with his family and girlfriend Nicki Minaj. She was in court with him. According to the court reporter Meek failed to clear concerts and trips with his probation officer, did not give an active phone number, as well as submitted a cold water sample for his urine test.
Judge delays sentencing until Feb. 5. Travels restrictions in place. Judge: “You cannot perform, even if performance is in Philadelphia.”
Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley sent Mill back to jail for five months last year for similar violations.
