Meek Mill will have to wait a while longer to get out of prison because Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley has denied his request for bail.
Brinkley is the same judge who sentenced Meek to 2-4 years in prison for violating his probation stemming from a 2008 drug and gun conviction. This is the second time she has denied the "Dreams and Nightmares" hit maker bail.
As we previously reported, because of alleged corruption by the officer who originally arrested the rapper, Philadelphia's District Attorney believes the 30-year old's conviction will eventually be thrown out.
Meek's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told TMZ:
"This ruling from Judge Genece Brinkley simply reaffirms the fact she has turned Meek Mill's case into a personal vendetta. In spite of the recommendations from the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, which was supported by Governor Tom Wolf, the judge continues to stand alone in supporting Officer Reginald Graham's perjured testimony as well as his criminal behavior that has been documented."
Meek's legal team is appealing to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in an attempt to secure his release.
