Meek caught a case at the age of 19 for weapon and drug charges, and he served 7 months in jail for the case. The rapper is now 30 and is still on probation for a offense he committed as a teenager. The rapper was recently sentenced to 2 to 4 years in prison for violating his probation on charges that were dropped. The entire situation had the hip hop community in an up roar after the Pennsylvania judge served Meek with such a harsh sentence.
