Meek Mill isn’t trying to explain away his call to “Free Tory Lanez” from prison … instead, he’s standing on that statement, even if it’s rubbing some fans the wrong way.
The Dreamchasers rapper made the rallying cry during his headlining performance at Rolling Loud Portugal on July 7 … right before performing “Litty Again,” his 2016 collab with Tory.

Meek and Tory have recorded several tracks together over the years and naturally built up a friendship.
But, that bond isn’t making fans forget Tory was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion several months ago — so, Meek’s now fending off angry supporters of the “Savage” rapper … and there are a lot of them!!!
Meek told the mob his wishes to see Tory’s freedom extend to other incarcerated rappers too — like Young Thug, YNW Melly and YFN Lucci — and he suggested fans shouldn’t engage with artists, if they’re just going to “smear” them later.
The Philly superstar also distanced himself from any role model responsibilities … maintaining he doesn’t have a “controlled voice.”
REFORM Alliance would probably beg to differ, but rappers exercising their freedom of speech just comes with the territory.
