A Philadelphia judge has sentenced rapper Meek Mill to two to four years in state prison for violating probation in a nearly decade-old gun and drug case. When sentencing the 30-year-old musician Monday (Nov. 5), Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley cited a failed drug test and a failure to comply with a court order restricting his travel.The sentence came as a surprise after prosecutors recommended Mill not be imprisoned for the probation violations, noting he’s been off drugs since January and has complied with most requirements of probation.
