Robert Kraft visits rapper Meek Mill in prison

Robert Kraft

Rapper Meek Mill has friends in high places, and many are hoping some of those connections will pay off.

The rapper was visited in prison by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and entrepreneur Michael Rubin on Tuesday. Meek Mill, real name Robert Rihmeek Williams, is in prison for 2-4 years for a parole violation, and many think his current prison sentence is excessive.

Kraft called the situation “just sad” according to NBC Philadelphia.

“Amazing young man. I know how I’d feel if I was in the situation he is,” Kraft said outside the Chester City prison. “Every time I see him, I just come away more impressed. He’s very intelligent. And makes it clear to me we have to do something with criminal justice reform.”

Meek Mill has violated his probation by failing a drug test, traveling out of the region, and more over the past nine years. He is appealing his sentence to Pennsylvania’s supreme court.

Many athletes have joined the “Free Meek Mill” movement, including even one in the Olympics.
