Torrence “Boosie” Hatch was arrested in 2008 after having possession of marijuana and a firearm in his car. After pleading guilty to the drug charges, Boosie was sentenced to two years in prison, which led to his late summer 2010 first degree murder charge.
Boosie wants to be the next rapper granted a pardon from the government. This past weekend, Meek Mell received a pardon from the governor of Pennsylvania. Meeek received many kind words from social media and from Boosie, who also took to Twitter to ask Louisiana to free him from his record.

Before the prison time, Boosie was a rising underground artist who was on the verge of having real mainstream success. “Wipe Me Down” was and still is a smash hit for the culture. He talked with the Big Facts Podcast about his upbringings in his early life before he made a name in the rap game.
“I would’ve done it totally different if I could take it back, ’cause I ain’t wanna go to jail, man.”

Robert “Meek Mill” Williams was found guilty of drug and weapons charges in 2008, similar to Boosie. Meek was sentenced up to two years in prison, but he only served eight months and did 10 years of probation. Since then, Meek has been fighting a legal battle with the Philadelphia court system. In 2017, he was arrested and sentenced to four years in state prison for violating probation.
Meek received his aforementioned pardon from Pennsylvania Governor, Tom Wolf on January 12. He posted the signed certificate of him being free from his criminal record. Meek promises to do good things for his community, to help with schools and to help low income students get scholarships for the 2023-2024 calendar school year. He will be partnering with Kevin Hart and Fanatics CEO, Michael Rubin, to help the community in Philadelphia.

Drake and Meek Mill Squashing Their Beef Is What Hip Hop Needed
Drake and Meek Mill hit the stage together in Boston to squash a longtime beef! We discuss it here!
“We need more peace in the world, we need more love in the world. Meek Mill that’s my brother, that’s my nigga from day one”
By: Omar Cook
Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige fought at Diddy's house in the Hamptons. Cardi B and Nicki Minaj got physical during fashion week. Mac Miller was found dead in his home. In what has been a week full of unforeseen storylines in the hip hop world, add this one to the list. Drake and Meek Mill just ended their beef. Wild.
Drake and Meek Mill Squash Beef In Boston
Drake hit the stage in Boston for a stop on his Aubrey and the Three Migos tour Saturday night, and in the plot twists of all plot twists, Drake brought out Meek Mill to perform Dreams and Nightmares. "We need more peace in the world, we need more love in the world. Meek Mill that's my brother, that's my nigga from day one" Drake said on stage. This what hip hop needed!
Drake and Meek have been beefing since 2015 when Meek accused Drake of having ghostwriters to write his songs. Meek also had an issue with Drake not shouting out Meek’s Dreams Worth More Than Money album, Since then, the beef has been fueled with a bevy of diss tracks.
A surprising as this is, it's only fitting that this beef has come to end because Meek has been filled with a new energy since his release from prison. The rapper has been on a mission to fight for criminal justice reform since his release and holding onto a petty rap beef would just be a distraction to the cause. Drake really doesn't need anymore beef as he already went at it with Pusha T to kick off the summer.
Will this mean we will see some music between the two artists in the future? Time will tell, but or now we can just enjoy the black unity.
