Meek Mill Gets Support From JAY-Z, Kevin Hart, & More Celebs Following Prison Sentence

A chorus of support is rallying behind Meek Mill.

As we reported yesterday, a judge sentenced the rapper to a minimum of two years in jail for violating probation from his 2008 drug and weapons case.

After the news broke, the 30-year-old's celebrity friends like JAY-Z, Kevin Hart, and T.I. expressed their support for Meek and their disapproval of the "unjust" sentencing.

Beyoncé's husband wrote on Facebook:

"The sentence handed down by the Judge -- against the recommendation of the Assistant District Attorney and Probation Officer -- is unjust and heavy handed. We will always stand by and support Meek Mill, both as he attempts to right this wrongful sentence and then in returning to his musical career."

Hart shared to Instagram:
