After Meek Mill was denied permission to travel to Canada for the Philadelphia 76ers game Saturday against the Toronto Raptors, the 76ers’ co-owner called out the judge who has legally tormented the rapper.
The 76ers’ co-owner Michael Rubin slammed Common Pleas Court Judge Genece E. Brinkley for ignoring the team’s many requests to secure permission to allow Meek Mill to attend Game 1 in Toronto; Brinkley controversially sentenced the rapper to two-to-four years in prison for a parole violation and continues to oversee his case.
“I know you have a vendetta against Meek Mill and are obsessed with trying to control every aspect of his life, but did you really NOT approve him to go to rep the [S]ixers in Toronto for the game? Do you also hate PHILLY?” Rubin wrote Friday on Instagram.
“As soon as the schedule came out, Meek asked probation for approval- they immediately approved… We filed w/your court as soon as the schedule came out since you need to approve travel to Canada! Since you didn’t respond to numerous phone calls and emails we even sent a lawyer to the courthouse today!”
Drake, the Raptors’ “global ambassador” who squashed his beef with Meek Mill, also lobbied for the rapper’s presence at Game 1 as their hometown teams faced off:

Rubin, Meek Mill and Jay-Z are among the founders of the Reform Alliance for a new initiative dedicated to changing the “illogical laws that make no sense,” Rubin told Rolling Stone in January.
