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.

(ESPN) A highly anticipated lightweight title fight between interim champion Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov has been canceled just six days before it was supposed to headline UFC 223 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
UFC president Dana White told ESPN on Sunday that Ferguson (23-3) has withdrawn from the bout due to a torn knee ligament. In a Twitter post, Ferguson wrote that he suffered the injury in an accident on a studio set while fulfilling his prefight media obligations on Friday.
Featherweight champion Max Holloway (19-3) has agreed to take Ferguson's place and will face Nurmagomedov (25-0) for the lightweight title. The 155-pound bout will still headline UFC 223 on April 7.
"He's a stud," White said of Holloway accepting the bout on short notice. "The guy hasn't lost a fight since 2013, and that was a decision to Conor McGregor.
"He's the type of guy that steps up for opportunities like this. And when you think about it, if he wins this fight, other than Conor McGregor, he will be the only guy to hold two belts at the same time."
As of today, McGregor (21-3) remains the UFC's official lightweight champion, but he is expected to lose that title as soon as Nurmagomedov and Holloway square off. McGregor became a two-weight champion in late 2016 but has not fought in the UFC since.
White said the promotion did not reach out to McGregor as a potential replacement for Ferguson. McGregor expressed interest last month in returning on short notice against Frankie Edgar at UFC 222, but the promotion doesn't want to bring its top star back under those circumstances.
"I don't think Conor McGregor could make the weight on six days' notice. That's a tough weight cut for him," White said. "And Conor is not the guy I want to throw in as a late replacement fighter. He's a guy I want to make a fight with and have the right amount of time to promote the fight.
"I think Conor could return in September, and it could be against one of these guys."
Per White, Ferguson is expected to lose his interim title, which he won by defeating Kevin Lee at UFC 216 in October.
"That goes away," White said. "This fight is for the title. The winner of this fight will be the champion."
Nurmagomedov, of Dagestan, is on a nine-fight winning streak at lightweight, while Holloway, of Hawaii, has won 12 in a row in the UFC's featherweight division.
Nurmagomedov has opened as a minus-505 betting favorite against Holloway (plus-365), according to MMAOddsBreaker.com.
The UFC has tried to pair Ferguson and Nurmagomedov on four occasions, all of which have fallen through for various reasons. When asked if he would be willing to book the fight a fifth time, White responded, "Hell no."

New footage obtained by TMZ showing Fabolous arguing with his baby mama, Emiliy B, her father and brother has emerged.
"I got a gun with a couple of bullets in them. They got your name on them," Fab yells at Emily's father, who repeatedly calls the rapper a "coward" in the clip.
As we previously reported, Fabolous, born John David Jackson, turned himself in to police in Englewood, New Jersey Wednesday, March 28, after allegedly assaulting Emily. He's been charged with one count each of making a terroristic threat and aggravated assault. Both are felonies. He was released from police custody after being given a citation for the incident and a ticket to appear in court.
According to NorthJersey.com, Fabolous punched the victim seven times in the face, knocking out her two front teeth.
Court documents show the alleged crime stemmed from an earlier incident on March 7, when Fabolous while in Los Angeles on a business trip "became enraged" when he found out via Instagram the victim was also in Los Angeles.
The "Into You" hit maker reportedly texted Emily that he wanted to hit her in the head with a baseball bat and that he would kill her but he "did not want to go out like that."
Emily later asked her father "to remove two handguns from the residence due to her fear that they may be used against her," according to the affidavit. When Fabolous got home, he confronted the victim, her brother, and father, but then went to the upstairs of the residence looking for the handguns, which had been removed. #fabolous#emilyb #babymama #babymama#domesticviolence #fabolousandemilyb#fabolousarrested#fabolousdomesticviolence#loveandhiphop

"When he could not locate the guns, the defendant left the house, but not before informing the victim, her father and her brother that he had a bullet for them," according to court documents.
