MEEKMILL RELEASED FROM PRISON

Meek Mill was freed from prison Tuesday after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered his immediate release. The state's highest court directed a judge who'd jailed him to let the rapper out on "unsecured bail."

The 30-year-old, whose real name is Robert Williams, issued a statement thanking his family and public advocates -- who included Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and rapper Jay-Z -- and said he looks forward to returning to his music career.

Meek Mill issued a statement saying his time in jail had "been a nightmare" but he will now work with his legal team overturn his "unwarranted conviction."

"Although I'm blessed to have the resources to fight this unjust situation, I understand that many people of color across the country don't have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues," Meek Mill said in a statement before his release Tuesday. "In the meantime, I plan to work closely with my legal team to overturn this unwarranted conviction and look forward to reuniting with my family and resuming my music career"
