PHILADELPHIA (Associated Press) — The Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill pleaded to be released from jail Monday to resume his music career and support his son and 30-person entourage, but the judge who jailed him on a parole violation last month was unmoved.
She ordered the 27-year-old to take anger management classes for what prosecutors called a parole office "tantrum" over travel restrictions, and a Twitter rant aimed at a parole officer and prosecutor.
"I wanted him to be able to grow and get to the next level (of his career)," Common Pleas Judge Genese Brinkley said. "But I can't do that with him thumbing his nose at me."
Mill, born Robert Williams, has been on probation for about five years following a 2009 drug and gun case conviction, for which he served about a year of house arrest. He has since emerged as a gifted rapper who has been tapped to perform with Jay-Z.
But his career has been interrupted the past two years by what he considers an increasingly fraught relationship with a new parole officer.
"We never clicked 100 percent," Mill said Monday, his voice sounding ready to crack.
He has not committed any new crimes while on probation, but was flagged this year after failing a drug test and appearing to use a gun in a music video. Defense lawyer Dennis Cogan said Mill had a prescription for the O******** after spraining his ankle, and said the video prop was a water pistol.
He also said his client's tweets, however unwise, were protected by the First Amendment.
"You never said, 'As a condition of probation, you can't speak outside the courtroom about the district attorney or the probation officer,'" Cogan argued to the judge.
He has asked the state Supreme Court to intervene and grant bail.
A prison official, a music promoter and a professor of race relations spoke on Mill's behalf Monday, and spoke of the difficulty of growing up fatherless — Mill's father was killed when he was young — and staying out of the crosshairs of the parole system.
"It's not set up for a man to win in society — a black man," said local music promoter and mentor Charles Alstin, known as Charlie Mack.
Mill, lean, lanky and baby-faced, has been kept in protective custody at Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, but complained Tuesday that his neighbors on the high-security block are rapists and murderers. He also questioned whether he would be able to take the required anger management class there.
Brinkley said she had called the warden last week about the plan. She agreed to rescind her protective custody order, but warned Cogan "if something happens ... it's going to be on you."
Mill released his debut album, "Dreams & Nightmares," in late 2012.
The album's launch party was delayed when Mill and three others — including an Atlantic Records executive and a police officer friend — were stopped in a Range Rover and detained by Philadelphia police for several hours. No drugs were found and no charges filed.
Meek sued the city over the arrest, but a mostly-white federal jury in Philadelphia this spring rejected the civil rights lawsuit.
During a celebrity flag football game in Los Angeles on Saturday, August 16, Nelly, The Game, Cgris Brown, Shad Moss, Lil Mama, Trey Songz, Karrueche Tran, Tyga, Wale, Omarion and more came together for a common cause.
After the game St. Louis resident Nelly grabbed the mic and asked everyone in attendance to show support for slain Ferguson, Missouri teen Michael Brown by holding their hands above their heads in the "don't shoot" position.
“If anybody can sympathize with what my city is going through, it’s this city of L.A. right now on so many levels,” said Nelly. “So for that respect alone, I’m asking you, I’m begging you, and I’m pleading for you to just raise your hands for a second.”

Kid Ink ran into some trouble with police in Las Vegas. The "Main Chick" rapper was arrested at 1Oak nightclub in the Mirage Hotel just before 3 AM.
Cops received a call about a disturbance. Kid Ink's female companion had gotten into some kind of scuffle and was acting belligerent as they left the club. When security approached them, there was a confrontation with Kid's team.
According to TMZ, Kid was arrested and booked for disturbing the peace. His female friend was charged with giving police a false statement.

Remy Ma was recently released from prison after serving six years. BET caught up with the Bronx, New York native to find out who was there for her when she needed help.
The first two names that popped into Remy's head were Keyshia Cole and 50 Cent.
“When I needed letters for my appeal,” Remy said. “Saying that if in fact I was released I would have a job and this is how I would stay out of trouble and reintegrate into society. 50 Cent had no problem not once, but twice signing letters saying that ‘She would definitely have somewhere to work.’ And it wasn’t a delay. I didn’t feel like I had to chase anybody around…I think they genuinely felt for my situation. They really understood that not only was—Like they didn’t look at me as Remy Ma the rapper. I was Remy and ‘Whatever you need I got you.’ And I never felt like anybody I was talking to was fake or just saying it because I was on the phone with them. Cause for what? They didn’t have to.”
Remy also talked about liking the music of Drake and Meek Mill, in addition to being proud of the number of female lyricists she's discovered while watching battle rap
Daylyt is back stirring up controversy. This time in the form of a song entitled "Robin Williams," which is obviously about the comedian/actor who died earlier this week.
Sample lyrics:
"Robin Williams' daughter happy he died/All in his house after he died/House party humping back of his ?/What's the plan Robin. In high school you was the man Robin/What the f*** happened to you?"
This isn't the first time Daylyt has released a song that received criticism about an actor after their death. He did the same thing when Paul Walker passed.
In your opinion is this art? Or is the rapper being disrespectful?
Dame Dash breaks down how he's evolved over the years, and says that when he was partying in front of the cameras back in the day he was just acting like a 20-year-old. The famed music mogul adds that when you make money at a young age, people expect you to act old, yet he didn't see the point.
The Roc-A-Fella co-founder then speaks about being a millionaire as a teenager and reveals that he has aspirations to become a billionaire. While most people with a billion dollars wouldn't want to see it all go away, Dame says that he doesn't want to hold onto it because he would rather spend the fortune.
The conversation then moves on to Dame speaking about his views on having fun with his business ventures. He cites his longtime relationship with the Dipset crew, including Cam'ron, whom he opened up a new restaurant with called The Dish in Dumbo. Dame says that after all these years he can still kick it and have fun with his homies while still making money, which he says is monetizing the experience.
