Nicki Minaj is standing by her man's side when he needs her most. She testified that she would help Meek Mill walk a straight line and stay out of trouble during his parole violation hearing in Philadelphia on Thursday, December 10.
"He's not perfect but I can't believe how much he's changed," Minaj said, according to the Associated Press.
Prosecutors argued that Meek, real name Robert Williams, violated his parole stemming from a 2009 drug and gun case by repeatedly changing his court-approved travel schedule. The judge in the case said the "House Party" hit maker had submitting a suspicious urine sample.
His attorney, Frank DeSimone, told Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley, that the music industry keeps his client very busy and things often change regarding where he will be. He added that the 28-year old was not trying to purposely be disrespectful.
DeSimone also said that Meek and Minaj were serious about getting married.
Minaj posted two photos on her Instagram page Wednesday, December 9, sporting a rock on her finger, leading many to believe the two had gotten engaged.
Prior to today's hearing Meek vented on his Instagram page that he's been dealing with this case for 9 years.
"I'm actually fighting for my life and freedom ... Something I've been going thru from a case I caught at 19 years old and been on probation since... I am 28 now," he wrote. "It's funny to see people on the internet laughing and joking about me and my family going thru these things, it's just shows me where the world is at nowadays! But if you are for me prayers up and wish me the best! Thank you to everybody that ever supported and I will continue to b great! If this is my last post know I will continue to remain strong and grow to b a better man and set a example for every minority with a dream that anything is possible! Trials and tribulations and chances makes chances & never lose faith! No matter how things go. PRAYERS UP!!"
He's due back in court on December 17. If the judge decides that Meek has violated his parole he could be headed back to jail.

King Push also offered his opinion on the way Birdman is perceived to be treating Lil Wayne.
"If you steal something that's just corny," Pusha said. "If you stealing something contractually, that's like the lowest form of a thief. It's like a cat burglar. It's not even respectable in no way, shape or form. You ain't even thugging it. You're like, sneaky. I don't respect that. I ain't respected Baby for a long time no way, so it don't matter."

On December 2, 2014, Meek Mill was released from jail after serving four months for violating his probation stemming from a 2008 gun and drug conviction. This morning he could be headed right back.
TMZ reports that Meek, real name Robert Williams, was ordered to appear before a judge in a Philadelphia courtroom to determine if his probation will be revoked.
The 28-year old rapper is required to get permission before traveling outside of Philly. He might not have done so when he attended the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last month with his girlfriend, Nicki Minaj.
"Pray 4 me... It's in gods hands!" he captioned a photo this morning.
Three Six Mafia member DJ Paul and fellow Memphis rapper Yo Gotti recently squashed their long running beef and performed together for the first time.
Paul sat down with DJ Smallz to speak on how that came about.
"I think it was needed to gon' let the city know we cool, because a lot of the city didn't know what was going on with us. Unless you follow me an Instagram and saw the picture," Paul said. "I just felt that it was probably time."

"I stood up for hip hop, I stood up for Ottawa, I stood up for Canada and I did a symbolic gesture by snatching the mic out of his hands."
Rapper Black Jesus explained his strategical plan to ambush and exploit Ohio rapper, Slim Jesus during his "Drill Time" performance in Ottawa, Canada. Last week, a viral video showed Slim Jesus' getting his microphone snatched as he performed for a crowd of roughly 80 people. Before dropping the mic, the Canadian yelled out, "Support real Hip Hop, b*tch!"
Although the video seemed raw, Black Jesus said that he got his own camera guy to capture the snatching and says that he purposely sent out the video to every media outlet saying "it was all carefully planned."
"When I got home, I opened up the list I made that week of every single website who posted an article of Slim Jesus, included the names of the author and their contacts."
Standing as a young advocate for hip-hop, Black Jesus explained prior to the infamous incident, in his opinion, the young viral star gave an awful performance, which was another reason why he interrupted the set.
"Not only did he show up with no DJ, his set was less than 20-minutes long, it consisted of "Drill Time," "Buck Buck," "She Just Wanna," "Faneto" and "Drill Time" again... he repeated the last song and just gave literally gave the worst performance of the whole night."
Akon is hard at work on a project that will bring solar power to 600 million Africans. His "Akon Lighting Africa" initiative will use a billion dollars in funding to take "clean energy" to 38 countries by the year 2020.
"This idea initiated in Senegal in returning to neighborhoods where I grew up," he says. "Fifteen years later, we're still without power. The infrastructure had not moved. They came to us and asked us to find solutions to the energy crisis."
Launched in September in Bamako, the first step aims to create 100,000 streetlights, 1,000 and 200,000 micro-power home systems using solar energy, to improve the living conditions of 14 countries including Niger, Namibia and Madagascar. The program will then be extended into other territories. It should allow the creation of "several thousand local jobs" primarily intended for young people, for installation or maintenance of the equipment.
On Sunday, December 6, the singer spoke at the International Re-Energizing the Future conference in Paris, France about his goals. Check out the video below.
